    Still, I guess this forum is like a secure hospital....it keeps all those like yourself in 1 place, for ease of monitoring

    Do I get the idea that it’s not about establishing British Imperialism to make your business grow, but to work with - not against - others. Throughout the advert they list various countries. They show people who aren’t just WASPs, etc.

    Yes. I get it. You don’t appear to.
    Who the hell do you hang around with. I don't know anyone apart from people like you that even mention the empire. I'm pretty sure you can dig up an empire throwback online but seriously people just don't care about empire. You know that but it doesnt fit in with your narrative does it.

    Happy to participate in a world union - we are after all the same really - the lines drawn on maps by old men to cement their power have little to no meaning in the digital age.

    Not happy to be a vassal state of a dying organisation that did once have its members best interested at heart but like many things it grew and grew until its continued existence is its sole raison d'être.

    Do you see at the end when he does the jigsaw it is a map of the world and not a map or Europe?

    That's what happens when you skip indoctrination classes, and go to the pub instead...
