WE’VE heard plenty about slavery involving Africans who suffered this and went through that. But what about the worst form of slavery in history, Britain’s subjugation by the EU?

Here I explain the unbelievable suffering inflicted on British people by the bureaucratic slave masters of Brussels since 1975.

Cruel and inhumane treatment

Slaves on cotton plantations faced terrible conditions: working in 90 degree temperatures and being whipped and beaten on a whim. However this was a walk in the park compared to being in the EU, who make us categorise our bananas and occasionally hear someone speak Polish.

Being given slave names

‘Anne Widdecombe’ is not my real name - it was given to me by a cruel EU bureaucrat. From now on I am insisting on being known by my true Anglo-Saxon name, ‘Kunta Widdne’. I am sure this is all true and not something I dreamt during one of my naps.

Having our freedom taken away

Like Africans wedged in slave ships bound for America, we British have had our freedom taken away - our freedom to strike trade deals with countries like Fiji, Togo and Christmas Island, which makes far more sense than dealing with far-off and rude nations like France.

Being bought and sold like animals

This was what African slaves faced, though if they had anything like the pampered lives of my pet dogs they had a jolly good deal! But seriously, now that the EU is making us all join its crackpot ‘EU army’ it’s only a matter of time before Britons are sold to dreadful foreigners called Hermann and made to pick sauerkraut all day.
