What does Britain from a functional standpoint even gain from this?

Like they weren't using the Euro so they don't really gain from that. Even the whole "controlling immigration" thing from what I understand the UK was already doing that by basically not taking any refugees, so they clearly had some control there already.

the ability to do whatever the fuck they want. 

I live in the US. I cant even fathom the concept of some unelected foriegn body making decisions for my country. It would be hypocritical for me to expect another country to do the same unless they choose to. 

What exactly was the EU preventing them from doing before because it seems to me they were doing "whatever the fuck they wanted" before hand. They didn't even adopt the Euro currency. 

EU was formed because it makes sense to have one more singular entity instead of like 20 different little countries all within 90 minutes flying time of each other.

Almost like a united group of ... states ... you might say. Gee, what a bizarre concept.
