Re: Apparently the prophet is...
Didn't work so well on trying to keep the roughly 4 million choppsy Irish in shape !!
Hence the change of the title in 1921 from "United Kingdon of Great Britain and Ireland" to "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".
It did take approx 700 years of "choppsiness" to finally give the norman invaders the boot though.......
Could have done it a bit quicker, but being Irish, we were probably out partying too much :-)
Long live Choppsiness !!!!!

Granted those south of the border aren't English, but all those decendants of the protestant settlers in Northern Ireland are.

The love of Religion is the root of all evil :-)
Pinching a quote from Richard Dawkins here (I'm sure he won't mind !)
"Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion."

Re: Apparently the prophet is...
There's no confusion here. Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland - they're simply regions of England known as the United Kingdom. They have been for centuries.
All of the heel digging anti English spat is simply inherited from generation to generation as a fight for identity.

but of course I wouldn't mind!
It's not hard to correct someone for a simple mistake like that is it? Chances are they're American anyway, in which case, they think Scotland and Wales are in Canada and the Antarctic, respectively.

Re: Apparently the prophet is...
The regions are already a massive drain on the coffers of the exchequer. England would certainly profit from devolving from the union.
