    The UK isn’t Europe. Geographically it’s in Europe, but I think they’ve been drifting from the continent for a while now.

      Yes I think I get what you mean, UK is no longer in the EU, and they want to go their own self destructive way, but unfortunately they are technically still a part of Europe, and they are regressing towards worse after Brexit. We may wish to denounce them as European, but unfortunately that’s just semantics and doesn’t solve the problem of Europe ruining itself. Just look at Hungary, Slovakia, Netherlands and Italy. Even Germany that has been a bastion of Democracy for 50 years, now has elected 78 right wing extremists AfD into their parlament.
      Poland has regressed quite a bit too, but maybe they are changing a bit for the better now.
