EU President has the charisma of a damp rag

que? do you want to expand on that a little, in order that i can judge if you are insane or not? because none of the above would welcome the reinstatement of empire, and no-one in Britain is of a mind to impose it!

See, you are the type of Brit who prolly read the A Modest Proposal and took it seriously Of course I was joking. If I said the Yanks and Aussies 'have been wild for too long', should that not hint at the joking nature of my post?

Of course, no-one will welcome losing independence. But I am not so sure about the second. Sure, people are not thinking of the countries to impose the rule on specifically, but some probably have nostalgia for the days the Empire was stronger and larger. After all, why does Britain intervene in so many nations? Economist itself noted the British long such delusions, and that Brown was one of the first to take a more sober look at this... I mean, you can debate this, but there is still some truth in it.
