@Blickers,
Ireland and the United Kingdom also do not participate in the Schengen Agreement, which eliminates internal EU barries.Denmark, Ireland and the UK have an opt-out on police and justice matters and Poland and the UK have an opt out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Summing it up: uk do accept a common coin, nor open borders policy, nor accept its police a justice system to be under a common supervision organism as the rest, neither accept to be commited to a common minimal right agreement , it just about accepting common defense, finantial cooperation and.... Thats all.... I know its been a European Union member since its foundation but what ive exponed previoulsly its not what the rest of us have been asked to do to fullfill European Union project.....ok: one girl wants to be a part of the basketball team, but hey, she wont wake up that early on saturday to train the whole day... You can asked her to do that... Shell be up and ready to train at 1200, two hours are enough, she loves being part of the team really but trainning everyday and sacrificing some quality hours with her boyfriend, really? Ill train longer saturday morning instead ill be here at 1100....after a while she keep her spare time untouched, train two days per week to mantain her figure and get to befriend one or two friends......shes a basketball player and a member of the basketball team, yes.... But is she? No, shes not
We all knew that and i see nobody shocked or concerned about it. I was an exchange student in liverpool for a year in 2002 and you found anti european union propaganda and organitations everywhere anytime.... That was 14 years ago.... Yes, its an European Union member but .... No.... You know what i mean:
