A Point of View: The European dream has become a nightmare
An end to the European project in its current form could bring a new dawn, says Will Self.
As in Greek mythology the sun god Apollo Helios drives his chariot across the skies to both create the day and engineer its duration, so the charioteer and four horses that surmount the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin embody the idea of contemporary German nationhood - and, by extension, engineer the destiny of the European Union. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18119242

The English have long looked down their noses at continental Europe, and continue to enjoy doing so.

But then, the Krauts think themselves better than the English, Poles, Russians, and French; the Frogs look down on absolutely everyone; the I-talians don't give a damn about anyone else; the English loathe the French and detest the Krauts, and the Russians are paranoid that everyone is out to get them. So much for your European unity. What a joke! A "Federal State of Europe" will be about as stable as Uranium-235.
