Англия единственная страна, которая не хочет быть «Европой». Итальянцы и испанцы, тайно комплексуя, мечтают приобщиться к этому славному званию, восточные европейцы хотят того же — шумно и агрессивно, немцы делают вид, что они-то и есть Европа, хотя в глубине души не слишком в этом уверены, скандинавы живут в своем мире, даже и не рассчитывая на эту честь. И только англичане последовательно отказываются от подобной привилегии, всячески отделяя себя от всего мира, не входя ни в одно объединение. Они хотят быть сами по себе. И это им удается. Они знают, что они и есть — самая великая страна, своего рода «пуп» Вселенной.
