Outside perspective here from California. The food all over the isles kinda sucks if you ignore all the Indian places. If you joined the EU, you could have more French and Mediterranean food. And that is without a colonial system like in the East. Everyone wins!

Yes because the Europeans are just too different. Britain isn't holding together too well, and if Scots and English don't get on, how could English and French, Hungarian and Romanian, and god knows what else get on? It'd just be a hotbed for bickering.

Oh ya Scots/Welsh/NIers you're as British as any Englishman.
