Whenever there's something going in the UE do you have hear anything about Britain's contribution to solving the problem?

Britain has plenty of problems of their own making but it's always easier to blame everyone else.
I'd say they are fully in and they are not happy with the deal they are getting. It's like a marriage, which came to a crisis. If I were a Brit, I'd try try to renegotiate the deal as hard as I can, then look at the result and see if it is worth conducting a referendum. That's what Cameron is doing, but he lacks some steel in his spine, some god ole British Steel...
