UK, Ireland /
Great Britain vs England, Ireland, Scottland, Wales [37]
People wanting to be 'English, Welsh Scottish or Irish, is something that has grown in popularity since the 1980's and in my opinion is a fad more than a well throught out debate. for Example.
English people will Support the English National Team, but will support Great Britian in the Olympics. Her Majesty the Queen is the Queen of England, the Monarch of Great Britian and the ruler of the Commowealth, but Flies the Union Flag and not the St Geaorges Flag. The English National Anthem is the same as that of Britian but the welsh & Scots have there own. Soldiers serve in the British Army under the Union Flag although they may be Scottish or Welsh.
I personally proud to be British as well as English, and believe that we are throwing away our past by wanting to be 4 seperate nations.
