Actually, the major difference is that Britain doesn't have

Only in more and more restricted areas. The signing up to several
European treaties since the 1970s has affected many aspects of British
life, and unless something dramatic happens these areas will continue to
shrink. Signing up to Laws on Human rights has led to all sorts of
changes.

There are still a few parts of the law not too badly affected by
European laws but they are slowly being whittled away.
