By your logic Bear you might as well just say "Stuff Britain, it's a region of the EU!"
It is.

It didn't need to be, but British politicians decided that it should be, and so there it is Fait accompli.

What’s more the way that Britain has gone under New Labour our only hope is to get ever closer with Europe.

I HATE the idea in principle and in fact but the alternative … well candidly there isn’t one other than find some way to grow bananas following the civil war that would break out.

As for Tibet, historically it was a part of what is in fact China, it now is once more. In any case it’s NONE of our business.
