Because of American influence. The British American fraternal relationship was very strong and deepening still in the 1950s and 1960s. Gaulle wanted a United Europe to be able to oppose America independently and viewed British membership of such a project as undermining the cause from within.Well now that the Cold war is over and Britain is out, it's up to Europe if they are going to pursue Gaulle's ambitions or just sit about pretending to not like stuff but never actually doing anything about it.They can start by giving Ukraine cruise and ballistic missiles to wipe out zigger hordes in Moscow.
