Great Britain is not an Island

[Louis VI the Fat]

The topic of this thread is not 'the UK must/musn't be a member of the EU/Euro/European federation'. The topic deals with the step that precedes that. With the myths that surround and cloud the debate about the EU in Britain. The subject is to rubbish several of these national myths about Britain.
These myths play a large part in the British debate about the EU. Which, of course, is why I brought them up. That is only the relevance of this thread and the topic, but not the topic itself.

A box of crayons.

Each one is different. But, none can claim to be unique in being different, since all of them are different from one another. This is the fallacy.

There is no such thing as 'this set is divided in two: a singular pink crayon and the continent of the other eleven crayons'. Even if indeed the pinky crayon can rightfully claim to be different from all the others.
