No....to attempt to blame the UK or its people for the existence of the EU is just ridiculous, end of.
Was Hitler our fault too?
Where you are consistently missing the point is that you talk in terms of geography instead of people, corporations and institutions who laugh at your quaint but defunct distinctions.
Talking in terms of geography, are you proud to be Scottish feather? Because a hell of a lot of your fellow countrymen are....and they make those 'quaint & defunct distinctions' too. & good for them I say.

I've said before I'm relieved to be Scottish/British/European because I could have been a fucking sight less fortunate.
What do I have to be proud of?
I was dropped here, I had no input in the matter.
Some Scots have done incredible things, not because they were Scottish but because they were incredible people.
Each race and creed has them.
Again I have no more business being proud of something I wasn't involved with than I should feel shame for the fact that some Scotsmen have been extraordinary savage bastards or members of the Bay City Rollers.
Actually the circumstances which gave rise to Hitler, the punitive reparations after WWI which were crippling Germany, (which of course was their intention), is easily traced back to the same Empirical profiteers.
You are coming across more and more as a little englander I'm disappointed to say DG.
Ohh and you declaring that something is "end of" does not actually or ever mean that is the "end of." You would just like it to be.
