"Madam President, that is a good question. Mr Schulz, you are quite right that Belgium was a British invention, and a British mistake. We have made many over the years. We have got some things right and some things wrong, just as your country, Germany, has. Germany’s history has not been whiter than white, I think you might agree. You are quite right. Actually, holding together the United Kingdom has been something that has been deeply troubling. Indeed, Ireland went its own way, back in 1921, I think, when independence for Ireland was established. You are right. It is very difficult to hold together different cultures. I do think that the Union of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland works, at the moment, because it has consent. If it did not have consent, then there would be popular calls for referenda and those nations would be able to break away. But my point is that in this European Union, nobody is being given that opportunity."@en1
