1. They are not connected by land to most of Europe
2. Believe it or not, they're one of the only countries that speaks English in Europe
3. They have their own currency
4. They have the most history out of any European nation
5. They could kick France's ass whenever they wanted!

1. Has already been discussed earlier
2. So?
3. See 1.
4. Not true.
5. France has nuclear weapons :P

 

1. Yes it has

2. Its just another way they are separated from mainland europe. You don't think language barriers exist?

3. Yeah it has

4. Who has more history than Britain?

5. France is too chicken shit to ever use them. Plus France is a joke, how long did it take Germany in WWII? About 1 month right?

2. You might be interested to know that almost all European countries have their own language too. This doesn't make the UK unique. Geez did I really have to point this out?

4. Greece for example?

5. What does this have to do with anything anyway?
