Our sincere attempts to collaborate with Wales and Scotland may explain the one thing the article correctly identifies —

which is the confusion for the English about English/British identity.

I see. How is the English identity when put into a European perspective then?

Many EU nations were either invaded or under a dictator within living memory. The UK wasn't. We don't get the need to merge

True, even more so in Sweden. The UK made a huge sacrifice in WWII though, which is in living memory.

true. (I know Sweden quite well). But the Battle of Britain mentality is strong. We fought them off and want to be left alone

Which is fine by me. What I don't understand is what sounds like demands from UK leadership. As if they direct EU's standpoints.

I think the EU bosses are hopping mad with us. We'd like to go gently but may put up a fight if not. Please can we slip away?
