The twelve parts of the UK
Honestly, it makes me mad. Furious in fact. Is there no one in our political elite that will refer to England as an actual country or even a single entity? Do they not realise what kind of seeds they are sowing?
UPDATE
I think a period of reflection is in order. I have always considered myself a British nationalist but I am finding it increasingly difficult to affiliate myself with a concept that seems to take so much without giving back anything in the form of recognition for the country that I owe so much to. It's a difficult decision because I make enemies hard. Once set upon a route that I believe is justifiable there is no going back, no reconciliation and it has always proven to end in sadness and bitterness.
I have had a drink and tomorrow is another day but I have to say now, the clear morning head has never made a difference in the past.
