So do you support Europe at the Euro championships then?

This is a nonsensical question. European countries play each other in the Euro championships. Not Europe vs other.

For the record, I don't hate the English. I don't hate anyone, which is precisely the point. I don't see how my being born in the UK makes me any different as a person from anyone born in France, Tajikistan or Argentina, and I'm therefore inherently suspicious of any talk of a 'British identity' or enforced patriotism: there's a fine line between 'aren't we great' and 'aren't they stupid', and it's a line that has sparked countless conflicts and wars throughout history. There's no definition of 'Britishness' you can name without there being someone who doesn't fit it yet who still thinks of himself as British, and this, to me, shows the pointlessness of it all. Like it or not, Britain is in Europe, and our history, economy, and culture are all intrinsically linked with those of Europe.

Well in UK we need our borders tight as you just need to look at the people attempting to come here from france in back of trucks, most are illegal immigrants and france do nothing to keep a check on them so it is left up to the english. If all europe took their responsabillities in this regard seriously then we would all be safer.

I agree.

If any State of the Common Travel Area were to join Schengen, it would be catastrophic for the UK, in regards to illegal immigration.

However, there is no point in just the UK borders being tight. Ireland, and other parts of the CTA need to be tight. Otherwise there is no point.

Which begs why does he say he is European and not English?

He is both.

Although, to be correct, he is a British Citizen, a UK National and a European Citizen.
