Well I've got an essay. Not really sure what to write. Here is the title:

"How best would you describe the contribution of Britain to the European integration process since the Second World War?"

Giving me a few bullet points on somethign that was positive or something that was negative would be great lol!

Is this EU only, or Econ with the Euro, or Cold War or all of that??

First Bullet: U.K.'s participation in the partitioning of Germany and Berlin after WWII.

Sorry, should have said. Mostly European Union as the course I'm doing is about the European Union (although I have mentionned Britain's role in the imediate post-war period in my introduction).

It's kinda the middle area that I'm stuck on. Like I know about it's contribution at present (i.e: negative), but I'm finding it difficult to find stuff out about it's contribution post-73 to mid to late 80's.

Minimal self interest.

Long live the commonwealth!

But seriously: EEC, EC, EU - we've always been dragging our heels. EEC membership in '73 and we've quietly been opting out, paying money, reaping free trade and vetoing adding nothing much to the integration process.

No one can think of nothing at all positive to European integration? How about to enlargement?

I hope you mentioned UN involvement, Medical Research, the fight against AIDS. These were major contributions.

Major research in the early years (1980 to 1986) was done in France and England. I believe it was first identified in England. Nowhere else, by the way. Yes it was (and still is) a major problem in the EU, particularly in Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Greece, Turkey and, might I add, England!

You silly boy, why do you think I plead caution to you so much!

P.S. Rent the movie "And the Band Played On".
