Fionn's point, Teribus, is important. You confused Britain with the UK. Any UK passport holder knows that the inside page states '.. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northen ireland. The Northern Irish are members of the UK but not British although I wouldn't tell Ian Paisley that, at least not to his face!
The rest of the above thread really just proves that prayers do no good as there seems to be nobody listening .. except he/she who does the praying and I think that is the reason why people pray, it makes them feel good so why not. Personally, when I was called up to join the British army in 1956 to fight in Suez, in a war concocted between, Britain, France and Israel, I chose not to and was sent to prison, in Glasgow's infamous Barlinie gaol. I think I met a better class of person.
Yours in peace,
