But Great Britain voluntarily joined the EU. They weren’t subjugated.
Worse - they spent years, decades even, pressing to get in against the repeated ‘Non!’ of De Gaulle.
So, if it’s bad for UK to be joined to EU, why is is good for Scotland and NI and Wales to be joined to England? And why is it good for Wessex to be forced into attachment to London - let alone Essex. And why should Winchester be stuck with Hampshire? Badger Farm with Winchester? Falcon View with Badger Farm? Why must your left hand be subjugated by the vile arm - freedom for hands!
