Can't be angry with the Brits, I wish Germany would walk the same way. I only demand them to be consistent and go it all the way. Demanding special rights but denying common obligations, or being given special treatement like in form of the infamous British rabate, are not acceptable.
Some would even ask if Britain ever was part of Europe anyway.  Which I do not mean as an attack. I strictly reject a statement like that the "EU is Europe", and Europe is represented by the EU. To me, both things are mutually exclusive, and the more you have of the one, the less you have of the other.

I voted for joining of a common market, but that's all. In hindsight I made a dreadful error. The UK will never be a true European Nation because of our common law. Europe is Governed by Roman Law which had the misfortune of being tampered with by Napoleon, he introduced far reaching laws and codes that the UK has always sought to avoid.
However well meaning the European law makers are, Roman law tends to dictate, this does not sit well in the UK, English common law, although not as old as Roman law is by it's nature far better system of law and gives people the freedom by consent that Europe cannot give.
Although I am not anti European, I do believe the day of reconing will soon be here when England will be asked to abandon common law by Europe in favor of Roman
law, I do believe this is already happening quietly under the counter as it where. There are also quiet voices in the USA talking about abandoning common law, if that where to happen the changes would be far reaching for all the peoples on the planet.
