Sorry but this is a load of bollocks. Hardly anybody alive in England today remembers Empire. Scotland and Wales are run by nationalists.

People in Europe thinking old stereotypes about England, colonialism and U.K. are in danger of simply projecting their own prejudices.

All nations have an issue with resurgent nationalism and intolerance. All.

The EU's intention was to break England/GB, in the belief we still harbour dreams of Empire.

Whether or not that is the case, I do know that if nations within Europe continue with petty in-fighting, bigger powers will take advantage.

I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories. Everything is explainable through human nature - as frustrating as it is to watch.

England is just as divided as anywhere else. I think I'm right that we are the most centralised nation in developed world (London)

Well, I think the Nordic nations breaks all records in centralisation. Not one centre of power outside the capitals.
