I expect better of an island that resisted Napoleon while the French dominated the whole continent. Or resisted Hitler while the Germans raped the whole continent.

Britain interacted with continental Europe. But it always stayed different, somewhat apart. after all its an island. And I think that this also forms a mentality, a habit, a way of life, a feeling, a certain kind of self-understanding. I know this island feeling myself: from the years when we lived in W-Berlin and it still had a wall around it.

Island form their own islander-mentality. And that must not automatically be something bad.

Cameron will not so much convince b reason and argument, but by fear. After all, he is playing for continuing his own career. And is his career not worth to see Great Britain being sacrificed to the EU?

C'mon, its the big David. You know you owe it to him!
