Why do people in the UK often pretend they're not in Europe?

We spent centuries JOINING England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and now you want to separate them again?

    Doesn't matter anyway, in the end the only thing that will remain is the European Union(I hope, hehe).

I say let's abolish all borders and states for one united Europe, but I'm pretty extreme in that way. First we have to clean out the EU anyway, lot's of things wrong with it.

 

I guess people are very nationalistic on Great Britain? Or am I mistaken?

I know the schots are, but I've never been to England or Wales(Or Ireland for that matter).

so what language will we all speak if we become the united states for europe?
