My girlfriend is British and her dad insists he’s not European. I think he’s a little on the delusional side anyway but I notice British people tend to shun this fact. What’s up with that/ Do you feel closer to us Americans or the rest of Europe?

    No he's not delusional whatsoever and you and the majority of everyone else who has answered this question really have no idea what he is talking about or anything to do with British History, do you? The British Isles just happens to be part of the Continent of Europe and that is as far as it goes. No different to the American Continent which goes from Alaska at the top to the bottom of Chile commonly called The Americas. The British Isles have recorded history from when the Nordic Celts first settled here in around 5,500 BC. The British Isles includes England, Scotland and Wales including all the islands therein from Unst in the Shetlands, The Outer Hebrides and Island of Sky right down to the Channel Islands and including the Isle of Man, The Isle of Wight and the Scilly Isles. It does NOT include Ireland. The last time these Islands were invaded was in 1066 when the Normans invaded when Harold lost the Battle of Hastings. The last one who tried it was Hitler in 1941 and he bottled out at the last minute because he had his eye on Russia and decided to invade that instead in Operation Barbarossa! We also have one of the oldest Parliaments in the world. Now do you think some smartarse European Union which is totally run by unelected prats and which The British Isles did not want to be a part of in the first place in it's present form, now turn round and tell us that we are not English, Scottish or Welsh anymore but we are Europeans who will live in Zones, because we will even lose our Counties and we will have no identity whatsoever and then you wonder why we are a bit pissed off about it. Coming back to your side of the pond, are your Mexicans, Mexican or Americans? Are your Canadians Americans? Are your Argentinians, Brazilians or Chileans Americans? No they are not, anymore than we are Europeans! And excuse me, if it wasn't for the English, Spanish, Germans, Dutch and Italians you lot would still be running around half naked speaking Apache, Crow, Sioux etc wouldn't you? And you certainly showed them didn't you? That they wouldn't be tolerated, by stealing their lands and shoving what was left of them onto reservations after you slaughtered most of them! Which just to goes to show you know very little about your own History let alone anyone else's. So before you come on here and make stupid statements make sure what your talking about first.
