You're an idiot. Britain is European because it's in the European continent. Mexico is North American because it's in the North American continent.

You're the ****ing idiot. Britain isn't European. Why would it have joined, then left, the EU if it was already part of Europe? Britain has never considered itself part of Europe, even when it was and as I say, when this was written it definitely was not part of Europe.

Anyway, why don't you try actually trying to work out what the song is instead of just snarling and arguing and finding fault as you usually do? Oh yeah: cos you're Batty.

Geographically European.

If Goof says I'm wrong, then I'll accept that: he's English. You're not and I'm not. England is a very special and unique case. I've seen how English people react to Europe. I still don't understand why, of all the ****ing songs used here, this was the only time someone said "is it European?" instead of "is it British?" ****ing typical.

Goofle will also tell you that he's not a misogynist.

Idgaf about the EU, geography is all that matters in this instance. England is European.

The European Union isn't Europe, you moron. The continent of Europe is Europe.

Okay, so what continent is Britain now a part of? Hm?

As I don't want to be accused of being a cheater by Plankton again, I'll tell you: it's an English song.
Why did I say no when asked if it was European? Because England has always considered itself not to be European. At the time this was written, it certainly was not, and even though they "joined" the European Union they did so with bad grace, for political reasons only and never considered themselves European. They used to refer to Europe in the 70s as "The Common Market" and "The Continent". They even kept their own money, when everyone else in the EU (or most of them) took the Euro for their currency. You Americans and Canadians may not realise this, but English people do not, and never will, consider themselves to be European. Ask any person born and bred in England if they're European and they'll frown and say "Fawk oof mate, we're English, innwe?"

tl;dr the song is English.

Yeah, that would have been a red herring considering that Americans have always been taught England is part of Europe.

So now that we know that England is the third smallest continent in the world after Ireland and Iceland (unless you count Gilligan's Island), was the song composed during World War I?
