This sort of eurofederasty really does annoy me.

Other than cabinet ministers under orders to take their holidays in
Britain, millions are now enjoying the pleasures of Europe, from the
Galway coastline to the Black Sea. Far from the homogenised Europe
controlled by the Brussels bureaucracy so beloved by our Eurosceptic
pols and hacks, most will see a wide variety of nations, regions and
communities that have managed to share a small part of their common
sovereignty to form this thing called the European Union.

Can we stop with this rhetoric already? "Europe" and the "European Union" are two very different things. One is a geographic area. The other is a political system. It’s entirely possible for someone like myself to embrace, enjoy, make use of, inhabit and glory in the geographic part, with all its variety and cultures, while still despising the political system that has and is being created. The hills and beaches of the Algarve (where I reside) will still be the same for me to cycle over and past whether we have a bureaucracy in Brussels ruling them or not.
