"If people forget about "French", "German", "Italian", "Greek", etc" Isn't that the underlying idea of the EU - we're all the same, all in it together, etc. I think this is exactly what has gone wrong - head in the sand regarding differences. Everyone likes their own culture, hence population clustering and ghettoisation. On the contrary, I think the differences need to be acknowledged, and compromises allowed to let people manage as much of their own affairs in their own way as possible. People can't complain about the EU if the EU isn't forcing anything upon them.
