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.
