The UK isn't in Europe though. Haven't you been paying attention? They voted to leave Europe! Now they're an island country in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. They have ✨sovereignty✨ now! But of course continent-dwellers wouldn't know that, since they're being crushed by metres upon metres of these "safety regulations" (unlike in the UK where they are now measured by the Gunter's chain and also they can now import chlorinated chicken from America)
