Subject: RE: BS: Scotless
Sorry, Al, there a few Scots with English seats. And the Uk won't exist in it's former UK state (FUK)?) Wales doesn't have a crown, it was included with England when the parliaments of England and Scotland were united in 1707, thus uniting the two Kingdoms. Ireland left the UK in 1801 and is now a republic. The North of Ireland doesn't have a crown either so that just leaves England. The crowns of Scotland and England were never united until their parliaments joined in 1707. The Union of the crowns of 1603 is a misnomer as both Scotland and England were independent kingdoms for over 100 years until 1707. So after independence RUK will be RUK and the blue should come out of the flag but I don't think anyone will bother their backside what RUK or EWNI, NEWI or whatever will call themselves. Independence is more important than bothering about flags and other frivolities. But please keep the Scots who have English seats, we don't want them.
