Admittedly there are countries where the magnetic-true variation is massively more than 3 degrees, but none of them are in Northern Europe this year.

The closest isogonic line is 10.5E here

Agree 100% with your comments though. No-one should do continue/go-around decisions based on silly xwind calculations, which are nowhere nearly accurate anyway, when on final. If it looks good, continue. If it looks like it won't work, go around.
