London is in Europe but Berlin in Germany? seems pretty ironic given recent news
- _ao789 10y agoLondon isn't technically in Europe anymore..
- dragonwriter 10y ago> London isn't technically in Europe anymore.. London is in Europe as much as it has ever been. Geographically, its status hasn't changed -- whether you consider the island off the coast of the European mainland part of Europe or not; politically, its still the capital of the UK, which -- despite having voted that its government should withdraw from the EU -- remains an EU member, and not even formally on the exit path yet.
- Brakenshire 10y agoUK will also remain a member of the Council of Europe, a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights, will probably have a Switzerland-ish deal on European trade, and will likely opt-in to a lot of European projects like the ESA and science funding/cooperation.
- themoonbus 10y agoEurope means different things in different contexts... there is still a continent called Europe that the UK is a part of.
- jacquesm 10y agoGeographically it always will be, administratively it is - for now - still part of the EU. Europe is a continent, the EU an organization.
- nraynaud 10y agoTechnically the UK han't done anything with their vote. Not a single official step.
