Since Scotland soon maybe blowing up Hadrian's wall, severing itself from England so it can float off into the north sea the phrase United Kingdom is likely to be made redundant, and "Britain"wont be much better off in terms of describing which particular combination of different nations we now belong to.

What do you think we should be called from now on then?

I can believe its not Britain?
East Wales?
Your Mum?

Why will it not still be United Kingdom and Britain? We'd only be losing 1 of the main 4 countries that make up those groupings. 3 is still enough countries in my mind to warrant keeping the same names.

As I understand it "Britain" refers to the entire island, and the United Kingdom is so called because its the combination of two kingdoms into one united one. Wales wanted to be a kingdom too, which is why the title Prince of Wales was invented.. as a piss take.

broken britain

Right, so if Great Britain is just the island, then that can still stand, Scotland isn't going anywhere, so the name of an island doesn't need to change just because one of the areas of the island want's to govern itself fully.

And if the full name for the UK is United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, then there's no harm in changing it to United Kingdom of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland and still just keeping the UK abbreviation.

I don't see the fuss? :)

There is nothing great nor united about the little cluster of countries we inhabit. We should just be called England, and the other countries can use their own names too. We aren't a continent so having an extra name for the group is pointless.

Wasn't really a fuss. Was just a stupid game. :(

I think this is a pretty great group of countries actually. Considering our size, we've achieved so much, and influenced so many. Our language is the most popular (by location, not population) and I'm proud to be part of it all. Our problems, are insignificant compared to so many other nations.

Ah, sorry, took it too literally lol

your face is an east wales your mum republic.

How about we call ourselves

Enter At Your Own Risk

Maybe it will help keep the immigration rate down.

Interstingly watching the news right now seeing Indian people that are being forced to live in slums (converted garages and sheds) in west London... and their Landlord (also Indian) is charging up to £800 a month!!

My old neck of the woods. There's hundreds of them.

I certainly won't be shedding a tear when the jocks do fuck off.

Need to get shot of the Welsh too, some kind of Jurassic Park game reserve fence should do the job. Bristol could be the visitor centre.

And that, people, is proof positive if it were ever needed, that sheep in Wales need to be just that little bit quicker ;)

Yeah, this!


This also!
Nonsense! The English fought, unsuccessfully, of hundreds of years to have the island just to be called England! The fact of the matter, is that Wales is Wales and will never be 'England', so it just needs to be the UK still. I feel proud to be Welsh, but also proud to be British, so there you go! ;-)

haha you may joke, by my friend brought half a leg of lamb from his mate's farm in the Mumbles in the Swansea Bay area the other week and it was just absolutely unbelievable! the finest meat known to humanity!

I got the same thing form a butcher in London and it didn't even compare, in fact, it tasted like a different meat! ;-)

It's all the extra excercise they have to do... We have a similar thing in Cyprus with the Goats.

English livestock & dairy produce is skank compared to that of it's peers man. I absolutely hate buying milk & cream in supermarkets here. >.<


Last time I voted I voted for the Manx Independence Party, and before that Liberal Vannin who are also pro independence. I signed three petitions in favour of Scottish Independence and would do the same for NI if it came to it.

The ideology of the artist formerly known as Great Britain is and certainly was awesome. Though there has been so much sway towards separating the "dangleberries" from the power that the "UK" holds is there really any point in England clinging on to them? We're generally ignored by England, so why fight for a united state when the "main" entity couldn't give two fuckos. Bring back medieval kingdoms I say, worked better then. Fair play on Scotland for what they're doing to be honest, UK parliament basically treats Scottish Parliament as a joke.

Typical English, tsk ;)


Completely, though Irish, instead :P
