Soon we will leave it. Yyaldrin, Chava, Firefinga, Entertainment from Copenhagen, all will become strangers to us. In truth we were never European in any case.
There is actually a lot of truth in this, and the alienation was always - somewhat - mutual. De Gaulle didn't want you in. The Tories always wanted the EC/EU to be nothing more than a free trade organisation anyways. Major almost fell over the Maastricht treaty, didn't he? From the moment the EU was born, UKs membership was doomed. Blair preferred Bush over the EU and so on.
