    I can see both interpretations work.
    Treating such a proposition lightly, as if making fun of. Certain Europeans have rather more rights in the UK than is reasonable (more than UK citizens have in their country). If anyone seriously pushes the argument that you're proposing, then I'd support redressing that issue. And you know what, if that happens, people like yourself would blame the UK for acting to redress the balance, rather than people like yourself for drawing attention to that imbalance in the first place. It's always the case, that people like yourself like putting yourselves on a moral pedestal, whilst never taking responsibility for the consequences of your words.

    Myself thinks that yourself knows a lot more about myself than myself does, but thank yourself for the explanation.

    Perhaps you meant Russian speakers?
    I thought so but just didn't care enough as the point stands either way.
    Or maybe I should say: Not according to RT...

    It makes sense. The British already dwarf even powers-that-be:

    Except one of them was bought without taxpayers money. Talk about apples and oranges!
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    You are taking it too seriously. It was just a funny picture.

    I'm pretty sure all of them were bought with money from taxpayers.
