Britain is relatively compact and much closer to the borders of the U.S.S.R. than anywhere in North America.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Americans are much more open than people in Britain.
The biggest difference between England and America is that England has history, while America has geography.
Unlike many of its European neighbors, Britain shares many of America's financial traits.
We need Britain not only to stay in the E.U. but to be very active in it.
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.
Britain is a European power. We cannot change our geography. Our involvement in the politics of European cooperation is one of necessity. Our wealth and our security depend upon it.
England in a way is lucky. It's an island, so the frontiers are given by the sea.
Because of the long, long history of British shipping, immigration, trade, empire, missionaries, you can have a better shot at telling a worldwide story in the British Museum's collection than any other. Britain has been more connected with the rest of the world than any other country, for longer.
I guess if you split the difference between the U.K. and the U.S., you would get Canada. But that's just due to proximity. Just because of distance, we get a lot more cultural spillover from America.
The States which form the northern border of the United States westward from the Great Lakes to the Pacific coast include an area several times larger than France and could contain ten Englands and still have room to spare.
