Freedom Screams Horribly

Periods of crisis, much like the periods of complacency with which they alternate, and indeed the periods of discontent which turn up now and again, are notoriously susceptible to manipulation for the nefarious ends of the ruthless and unscrupulous. Hence, even as Bozza bravely battles the bug for Britain, and nobly postpones the deportation of health workers who give their lives to protect the master race, the ghastly Euro-wogs are plotting to inflict yet another burden on the world's most vulnerable people. According to a new diktat being drafted in the salt-mines of Strasbourg, competition is to be banned and state regulation imposed upon the just rewards of entrepreneurial pluck and gumption. Owing to the viral taint of rampant nationalisation, companies will be unable to eat their competitors, and executives and shareholders will be prevented from fulfilling their wealth-creating function by voting more wealth for themselves. Ghastliest of all, Britain will have no mitigating influence over these rules, because its new-found independence has provoked the beastly Euro-wogs to retaliate by treating it as if it were no longer a member of the European Union.
