    They want to end the “”“British Empire”“” once and for all. It’s a long term plan that started with Brexit.

        Every day we sink further into irrelevance. Look at the fate of Greece. Their culture and contributions to mathematics, philosophy and literature created the foundations of modern civilization. Now they are a holiday destination and not much else.

        There are those who think Britain is still great. That is why they could convince so many to vote for Brexit.

        But since the world has become so interconnected, and Britain has lost all its colonies, it won’t be capable of dealing with the world on its own anymore.

        Some needed Brexit in order to come to that conclusion.
