United In Disunity

 

This photo shows two workhorses of former British Rail class 86, now in service for "Floyd" at the Hungarian border station of Hegyeshalom freight yard. And although things seem to be solidly connected, it should be metaphoric for the "Brexit" drama and a more and more disunited Europe ...

 

Because not only that Great Britain, the royal motherland of the world's Railways, sadly left the European Union, ... also Hungary is one of the leading countries, who are claiming the benefits of the EU, but are lacking in solidarity with the European principles ! Just like Poland it is one of those "Visegrad" nations, who are working actively against the EU and try to destabilize European agreements. Instead the government of this lovely Puszta country is more and more implementing an alarming new form of "illiberal democracy" and censorship of media reporting ! ...

 

Indeed the people of all countries are more and more and severely devided into left and right. So it is not only that different countries and nations, but also the people, who once respected their disagreements and were able to find mutual compromises and solutions, become more and more unfriendly and polarized ! ...

 

So we should be alert and awake to protect and defend democracy and freedom and not to be taken in by those, who want to destroy this. The precious achievement of 75 years of peace between the various, leading European nations and it's people, which was the very first and most important reason and success of establishing the European community ...
