Summary/Abstract: Between EU and non-EU, Great Britain remains an insulated but vocal actor among the European States. Europe needs Britain, but there is a perpetual debate on the right kind of tie which could help the two partially convergent partners to stay together. The British exception is a recurrent item. The recent past of the European history provides us with explanatory elements tracing back the peculiar relationship of Britain with the continental partner. In the light of this recent past, Brexit seems to be the peak on a continuum line and not such a surprising advent.
