Some among us
will remember this scene.
Unfortunately it is relevant to today.
Reg: They've
bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, not just from us,
from our fathers and from our fathers' fathers.
Stan: And from
our fathers' fathers' fathers.
Reg: Yes.
Stan: And from
our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers.
Reg: All right,
Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?
Xerxes: The
aqueduct.
Reg: Oh yeah,
yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That's true.
Masked Activist:
And the sanitation!
Stan: Oh yes...
sanitation, Reg, you remember what the city used to be like.
Reg: All right,
I'll grant you that the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the
Romans have done...
Matthias: And
the roads...
Reg: (sharply)
Well yes obviously the roads... the roads go without saying. But apart
from the aqueduct, the sanitation and the roads...
Another Masked
Activist: Irrigation...
Other Masked
Voices: Medicine... Education... Health...
Reg: Yes... all
right, fair enough...
Activist Near
Front: And the wine...
Omnes: Oh yes!
True!
Francis: Yeah.
That's something we'd really miss if the Romans left, Reg.
Masked Activist
at Back: Public baths!
So, what have
those bloody immigrants, coming here taking our jobs, ever done for us?
The Romans are
pretty much covered already. (see above)
The Vikings –
most of the Old-English language, apart from the French, Latin and Greek bits
The Danes – Law,
structure of society & the original “North South divide” that still exists
in England today.
The French – So,
you thought Agincourt was an English victory? Sorry! It was a French on French
engagement. Luckily, the “English” king lost, and from it we got our "English"
identity and a great percentage of the "English" language we have and use today.
Europeans during
WW I – well, I think you know this one. They brought trouble, strife, war and
the breakup of the British Empire.
Europeans during
WW II – The final solution, war, end of the British Empire, American influence
in Europe, the Cold War, the start of radical Islam.
Since the late
eighties, things started to get better.
Then the
nineties brought the end of the Soviet Bloc and the fall of the wall.
After a few
civil wars, Europe began the 21st Century with hope and prosperity.
Finally we began
to reap the benefits of all those years of strife.
Jobs,
businesses, working conditions – all these began to improve.
And then the BNP
started to get support, enough to worry the population.
In the end, a
dumbed down more politically-slick version was rolled out – Mr Farage, an ex
Conservative party activist who left them because they joined Europe.
Somehow he
managed to get elected as an MEP
He happily caused trouble in Europe and has been taking the pay and expenses since 1999.
And then we had
a referendum.
Well done Mr
Farage. You single-handedly fucked England up the arse.
And then you
took the piss out of the European Parliament.
If we leave Europe, he is out of a job.
He is a
stockbroker.
His family are German
immigrants.
He led you up the garden path.
