If by the UK breaking the ties you mean our entry into what is now the EU 35 years ago, I must admit I support that and would regard myself as fundamentally European - though I would certainly not support restrictions on New Zealanders coming to the UK (I don't support restrictions on international travel unless I think there is a very good reason, and there isn't in this case).
"Fossil nation" was an exaggeration. That's more a US perception of Britain than a Commonwealth one, I suppose.
re. your eligibility to live in Israel: dare I ask how you view what has always struck me as AF's antipathy to her Jewish roots? (that is of course assuming that you have such roots as well: you may not)
