From a UK citizen's perspective... we are part of the continent of Europe but not what is known as mainland Europe. This has always given us a separation as such that we cling to due to old empire times.

Whether or not the 5 points listed by Chairman-Mao can be argued against they are points that main British people will use to say they are not 'European'.

I know I am in Europe and live in a European country but I would never identify myself as European. I am British.

Then separation still occurs on our little island too as indicated by many Welsh, Scots and English folk not identifying themselves as British but that only of their respective home countries.



Hmm, pie.
