We Are Not The Same
This Englishman knows very well that although England is no longer a part of the European Union, The English are still European. He flouting a sense of patriotism and what he feels is absolute uniqueness amongst the English when compared to other Europeans.
This comment, of course, went over many people’s heads. Take, for instance, the person replying to the OP. The reply is correct, but this person fails to understand just what OP was trying to say. He just doesn’t get the gist of what the OP is saying but insists that OP truly believes that England is not part of Europe.
