The most sophisticated, wide-ranging propaganda campaign in history tunes the minds of all people of the European Union towards harmoniously working together for some brave new world.
So powerful is the tune that any criticism of the EU jars and jangles against the harmonious song of EU integration. Those who warn of danger face taunts of being extremists, xenophobes, little Englanders, ultra-nationalists, or other such abuse. In Britain we are made to feel embarrassed and alone among EU nations for not being good Europeans.
I am convinced that other peoples in the EU are as sick of it as we are. Apathy is the biggest danger facing Britain. So many people think that it is all inevitable - it is not. We can still say no if we turn out and vote accordingly. Say GB not EU.
