Obviously written by somebody who has no sense of geography .and yes the UK is an island, no sense of geographical knowledge clearly
Re: Great Britain is not an Island
Well it is pretty close, surrounded by water and detached by some distance from the mainland of Europe, it certainly has not stopped countless generations treating it as such. Simply because a Frenchie is having a song and dance about it, is no good reason to change such logic. We are not hurting anyone.

Re: Great Britain is not an Island
No it is not even remotely close unless you define "an island" as over a thousand islands plus part of another island and some more islands for good measure while claiming others lack a sense of geographical knowledge .Well it is pretty close
Re: Great Britain is not an Island
It should be clear to everyone by now that Louis is not talking geographically, he's talking culturally.and yes the UK is an island, no sense of geographical knowledge clearly
"Island" as in "cultural island", which is radically different from a geographical island, because trade, and hence culture, travels faster by sea than by land. And as the UK has relied and relies heavily on sea trade, so are they connected closely to others, hence not being an island.

Re: Great Britain is not an Island
that is Louis' argument, but it certainly hasn't be demonstrated."Island" as in "cultural island", which is radically different from a geographical island, because trade, and hence culture, travels faster by sea than by land.
