The european union does not equal Europe.

England and the British Isles are part of the eurasian plate and part of eurasia. Thousands of years ago when there was a land bridge between England and the european mainland, it was settled by people coming from the mainland. Later on, it's been settled or invaded by romans, saxons (germans), danes (vikings), normans (french/vikings) and many more. They've been at war with France, Spain, Denmark, Germany and more I'm sure. There's been constant trade and cultural exchange with the European mainland as well as some royal mixings and whatnot.

So is this thread because of the little brexit blip in what's otherwise a long, complicated and continuing story of England's place in Europe?

Of course England is part of Europe. What else would it be? We're just sad it seems to be turning into shayt.

I just resent the fact that now, with Brexit, anything bought on Ebay, Amazon etc from the UK gets Customs VAT added. So you have your price, your postage AND your Customs charges. As Jesus once said, **** that. I'm buying from Europe, or if I have to pay VAT I'll make it worth my while and buy from the former democracy to the west of me. At least I expect to pay tax from 'Murica.
