They're actually more correct imho. English patriots* carefully confuse England, Great [sic] Britain, and the United [sic] Kingdom. I'm British by passport, an ex-patriate Lancastrian by adoption, and admit to being English only with deep shame. At least the Welsh and Scots have their own independent senses of identity, and parliaments (however token). Sadly, were we to have a separate English parliament, it'd probably be permanent Tory-blue.

I wish to declare UDI from Planet Westminster.
