Bridge to Europe
About
"So you think you'll just walk in, do you?," says John Bull[1] to the wee Scottish lion as they are standing at the bridge to Europe, which the man is about to blow up.
The cartoon appeared the day after David Cameron's promise of an "in or out" referendum on Britain's EU membership[2] and after months of scaremongering about an independent Scotland facing EU application.
