The EU are terrified

[blue matt]

Why do so many people have the idea that the UK is disliked by the EU? I visit Europe quite a bit and take an interest in the media of our neighbouring countries and my perception is quite the opposite. To be honest, I think this British paranoia on behalf of a large traqnche of the population is part of the problem.

it is a issue the brits have, it is not till you step outside the individual country for a while that you realise it

the Welsh think the english hate them

the Scots think the english hate them

for a small island we certainly have plenty of " chips on shoulders "

Bang on, my friend. I have lived in England for a very long time and have lived on the European mainland too. I have never noticed many of the barriers/hatred/resentments that some other people perceive and I'm afraid that some Welsh people have multiple chips on their shoulders. Yes, history has been unkind to Wales but life moves on and the modern-day Englishman, German or Frenchman is hardly responsible for what took place in the past. Oh, and other parts of the UK are poor and neglected too.
