downquark1, your post made me laugh. That was just hilarious.

As an outsider I can only really give my opinion. I think it would be better for Britain to remove themselves as much as possible from the European "Union" thing.

timewarrior, may I respectfully remind you that the American war of Independence was won only with considerable support from France. Without French assistance it's likely the thirteen colonies may not have gained independence when they did.

Which made their recent "anti-France" campaigns (they're "Freedom Fries", not "French Fries") because the French wouldn't help out against Iraq even more hypocritical.

Maybe they should give the Statue of Liberty back? After all, it was a gift from the French!!
