Composer Mike Oldfield Unable to Endure British Moonbattery

Mike Oldfield, the multi-millionaire composer who created "Tubular Bells" and helped put Virgin Records on the map, explains why he can't take Britain anymore and has moved to Spain:

It is too intrusive. Imagine if Winston Churchill was given a £50 fine for smoking his cigar. He would never have stood for it.

I don't want to live in a country where a little old lady has to wear a hard hat and a luminous vest just to look after the village green.

It's ludicrous. I had some window cleaners come to my house and they showed me a contract ten pages long full of health-and-safety stuff.

It seems we have lost our freedom. It's just the thought that someone lighting up a harmless roll-up could be fined. I haven't seen any cameras in Spain and you can smoke where you like. […]

I'm not whingeing — it is just a fact of life that the old Great Britain is gone.

Or if it's not, it soon will be — unless Brits rebel against the suffocating moonbattery they've imposed on themselves. Running away won't help, because the moonbattery will follow unless it is confronted and destroyed. Just ask anyone who has moved from California to Seattle or Portland.
