The U.K. is outward-looking, trade-oriented, growth-oriented, and we do not have enough of that storyline, that tradition, that culture within the European Union.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think the U.K. is too small to write about from within it and still make it seem foreign and exotic and interesting.
The U.K. and Ireland are like-minded on E.U. matters, and the process of working together in Brussels has built an immense store of knowledge, personal relationships, and trust between our governments.
The U.K. and the U.S. are very different countries, and it really shows in the television.
I think the U.K. would be perfectly successful as a standalone country, part of the European marketplace like Norway and Switzerland but without the expensive E.U. bureaucracy.
In the U.K., we have always been an open, trading nation, enriched by our global links. Contemporary patterns of migration extend this tradition.
I hate this argument that says little Britain or something outside, or Britain is part of a wider Europe. We can both be within our trading relationships within Europe but we can also be a fantastic global trader.
We would like to make it quite clear that we are not migrants into the U.K. But we are the citizens of a state that belongs to the European Union who can take jobs anywhere freely within the European Union.
We need Britain not only to stay in the E.U. but to be very active in it.
Unlike many of its European neighbors, Britain shares many of America's financial traits.
The problem is that the U.K. in essence is a feudal society. It's everyone in their place.
