The outrage in the media.
A Spanish government telling British citizens in their country to apply to stay in their homes and not guaranteeing their healthcare, their pensions and their livelihoods.
Imagine.
Polish newspapers labelling people disgareeing with the government as traitors, mutineers, enemies of the people, vermin and collaborators.
Just imagine.
A referendum in Belgium being won by manipulating the facts and deliberately breaking electoral law - without any consequences.
The scorn.
An Austrian minister defending and justifying the existence of concentration camps.
The uproar.

Think.
The Netherlands trampling upon the achievements of decades of fostering peace across Europe, human rights, workers' rights, environmental protection, food standards, cultural exchange, scientific collaborations, security and freedom of movement?

Imagine.
Sweden denying healthcare and basic human rights, and even deporting citizens that had been living in the country for decades and that had been promised the Swedish citizenship when they arrived in the country?

Imagine.

An international leader?
An economic superpower?
A role model?
Think again.
Meanwhile.
In a parallel universe.
PM Corbyn lies to the Queen and suggests he may break the law.
While David Lammy slouches across the Front Bench.
And Ed Miliband never ate that bacon sandwich.
Imagine.
