PS:

For the sake of clairification when I said "so called" allies I was not refering specifically to Great Brittian so much as I was to a certian collective of mainland eroupeans who are allies by nessecity wether they really wish to be or not. (a topic that perhaps deserves it's own thread lol) So I do applogize for the misunderstanding I should have been more clear.
For your information, every country decides for itself it wants to go or not, just as England does. I do not qute understand why you think UK and the rest of Europe should have different rules??
