The Dusk of Britain

The English completely dominated the British Islands and Ireland by 1745 with the defeat of Scotland at the Battle Of Culloden. The Crown sent out merchants and armies across the globe to traffick in slaves, opium, and raw materials, thereby creating a commercial network touching ever continent on Earth on which the sun never set.

All that changed after World War II.

Goodbye colonies in India, Africa, America, Asia.

Yesterday Britain shrunk smaller with its exit from the European Union and two EEU workers crumpled up the Union Jack without any ceremony.

Next to go; Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Gibraltar.

All so they can drink warm beer.
