Which, last time I checked, is more than most of your leaner, meaner Europe can boast of.

And the reason that we have traditionally refused to integrate economically is precisely the same reason that you laud when the French do it: That the Union was a bad deal for the workers. It's only under Fogh that the European Union has turned from being an institution that undermined our welfare state to an institution that supported it - and that's only because of the depths of depravity that the Fogh government has sunk to, mind you.

Guilty as charged on the Atlanticism and collaboration, though.
