Great Britain is not an Island

[Furunculus]

Well Louis, you have me at a loss.

This thread sprang directly from the; "is it time for Britain to join the euro" thread, and the entire theme of your arguments have run in the direction of exposing the the ridiculous obstinacy with which the UK acts towards all attempts to become involved in EUrope, resulting from Britains flawed idea that we think we don't have exactly the same problem and share the same goals as the more enlightened countries of the continent.

But if it isn't about that, then you are going to have to tell me exactly what you do wish to discuss.....................

But even if you are trying to engage in some higher level philosophical debate with the argument that the UK is no different, you cannot ignore the primary expression of this pathology which is the fact that:
1) We do hold ourselves apart from EUrofication. (island mentality)
2) The continent on balance does not. (enlightened and glorious EUropean mentality)

So we are both different (in this respect), and an island (as we behave to our neighbours).
