UK scored a massive own goal and are no longer part of Europe ;)

I assume that's tongue in cheek, but EU and Europe are two different entities - UK is still very much in Europe.

It never was. It's an island, while Europe is a continent.

Europe is composed of several islands as well as the continent.

By that logic Switzerland isn't in Europe either :)

If Switzerland were in Europe then Germany would have marched through to get to France. They didn't therefore etc QED.
