I was at work when 9/11 was unfolding, someone came into the office & mentioned something so we put on the radio. It was so scary, even in the UK, as airports were closed etc.. 2001 is memorable for me in other ways too though, as it was at that job that I met my partner & we are still together now 16 years later
Saw a set of thick contrails pass over head, didn't appear on flightradar24 so grabbed the binoculars and it looked like a C-5 Galaxy or an AN-124. Definitely a high-wing 4-engine jet.
I still find amusing that your main symbolism on British politics is whatever they symbolize on views of Islam. Most here who paid attention, or at least the ones I noticed, were only thinking of economic symbolism.
Europe stands before two massive enemies:
Fundamentalist islam
the EU elite and their encroachment on national sovereignity
Unless both those are beaten my country's and my continent's futures are completely f*cked. My first consideration when I'm going to vote is always those two issues. I'll only vote for a party that I regard as the lesser of the evils on those issues. Who cares about short-term gains of the economy anyways if we're going to be ran by crazy mullas before my life is over? I find it stunning that people in Sweden still are worried about the school system when they're going to vote when we're in such a national emergency.
Fringe nationalist liberation groups happened in Europe in the 70s, today. ETA of course in Spain and there were far-left groups in Italy. And the IRA was another level; civil war like in Northern Ireland.
The Bologna train station had a terrorist attack in '80, still to this day the authors are unknown, yet the general consensus is that it is an extreme-right / freemason attack tied to the CIA.

There was a tornado warning here this morning. Not a watch - a warning, which is the highest alert. But by the time I saw it, I realized it wasn't going to impact my immediate area.
I was thinking to myself before why would an independent country like the UK want to have some of its sovereignty taken away from it?
I see good points for the EU and against.
The only thing the EU could do is to operate a single market of goods and allow easier access for highly-skilled people to move inside the union. Everything else is stepping way out of boundaries. Single market of services causes wage-dumping and is disastrous and not allowing individual states to operate their own foreign trade policies and allow for border controls and exemptions of the free trade-clause is neo-liberal claptrap horrible sh*t.
Ultimately that's why neo-liberal trash inside the Tories love the EU: Osborne, Ken Clarke and John Major et cetera
