From your comment yesterday: “The EU is a club which European democracies can join, but apparently not leave of their own free will when the rules change, as they certainly have.” 

It just struck me that this is similar to Islam in that you are encouraged to join, required not to question and to subsume personal freedom to the will of the Almighty and woe be onto him who turns to apostasy. Little wonder they are welcoming in millions of Middle Eastern migrants with wide open arms.

Thanks for your original comparison, which is certain to amuse and appal subscribers, as it did for me.
