    I'm referring to Marketing in how before he's pretty much stated that he would throw away this country's 1,000 years of national sovereignty and independence for paltry potential economic benefits (not that there are any) in a hypothetical federal Europe or US of E.

    And cool, i've been there too a few years back with the school for WW1 module - did you tour the battlefields of Belgium and France? Menin Gate etc? very sobering standing on those fields amongst the graves of people who died for their country at our age isn't it.

    Thought you might have been haha

    And yeah, that exact trip. I saw a grave with my initials aged two years younger than me and I'm not sure how to describe the feeling, but I think humbling is a good place to start. I know this is off topic but it was crazy how they held a ceremony at the Menin Gate everyday for those who gave their lives, can't comprehend what the effects were on the surrounding communities.

    Not really :L During big events I am, like the Olympics, but if I got into an argument about another place being better than England/Britain then I wouldn't argue back cause generally it's pretty **** :L

    Whilst it may upset you to know, I have previously said I would be open to a Federal Europe IF, and only IF, the arguments for it were seriously impressive and realistic. On the contrary, I would hate to see Britain's history literally wiped away. Although, there are also many moments in our history that I think are quite simply embarrassing (although other nations have very simply backgrounds).

    Would love to live in Silicon Valley for a start, although there are other places I would gladly live in if the career opportunities existed for me. I love the culture in Spain, although the current situation is not great at all (having said that, it took me 8 months to find a part time job over here). Ultimately, I will end up living where I can get the best paid job possible, and also be happy.
