Strange isn't it. Continually we get from the Scots, Irish and Welsh that the English continually confuse England with Britain yet whenever the BRITISH empire did anything wrong it's the ENGLISH that did it! Come on you Celts! you can't have it both ways: the Scots, Irish and Welsh can't claim on the one hand that they contributed mightily to the success of the Empire yet blame the English for all the ills of that empire. You're as much to blame as the English for the positive and negative aspects of the empire.
