We've kicked the crap out of Germany twice in the last 100 years, and the French have hated us ever since Agincourt, Crecy, Trafalgar & Waterloo - doesn't help that united Commonwealth forces had to get their arses out the fire twice in the same 100 years when the Germans went through the French army like Syphillis & diarrhoea!!
The above means that Britain will always get the rough end of the shaft from Euro-commies. Put up the baricades, there will always be some Englishmen that will never surrender our Sovereignty and independence.

Hear! Hear! My family was chased out of the 13 Colonies in 1782 because they were and we are United Empire Loyalists. Membership in the Commonwealth costs Canada very little and brings so much, not the least of which is a great camaraderie with fellows from the great nations of England, Scotland, Australia and New Zealand. The Commonwealth nations have a common ancestry, a similar history, joint effort and sacrifice in two Great Causes. Good natured ribbing aside, I always feel a kinship when meeting nationals from other Commonwealth nations, like we're somehow related.
As for the EU. der deutches volk are still in denial over what the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei wrought in WW II and as for the French, allow me to quote generals Patton and Schwarkopf:
Patton: (I'd rather have a German division in front of me than a French division behind me!)
Schwarzkopf: (Going to war without the French is like going deer hunting without your accordion!)
'nuff said!
