Any time that I studied about ‘Europe’, it was The Continent.

Any National conflicts ‘in Europe’, always occured, after 1066, happened ‘on the Continent’.

The two World Wars, except for aerial bombings by zeppelins and modern aircraft over London, happened on The Continent.

The Soviet Expansion after World War 2, happened on The Continent.

So, by historical fact, England has been kept separate and whole, FROM The Continent, by divine design.

There is no country of origin on The Continent, that has actually had the word ‘Freedom’ in their founding documents, unlike The English Magna Carta.

Nowhere, except on The Continent, can a short in stature Corsican lower officer, or a private with a moustache, rise to cause so much turmoil, death, and war, causing two countries outside of ‘The Continent’, England and Russia, to come ‘and bail out the rest of the countries in the melee’.

Did you just make that up? Because that's total nonsense. The French Declaration of the Rights of Man, the cornerstone of the French Revolution and the basic founding document of the French Republic (helpfully written in part by an Englishman) uses the word "freedom" repeatedly. Just one example of several.

Incidentally the only time “freedom” is used in Magna Carta is to describe freedom of the Church - not freedom of religion mind you but the independent power of the then official Roman Catholic Church. No personal freedom is mentioned, at least using that word.
