Call yourself British?

I'd like to yes...but the Sunday Telegraph appears to have forgotten that:

An even greater proportion - 69 per cent - want to keep the historic Union between England and Scotland, while only 24 per cent want the two countries to separate.


...the Union does not consist only of England and Scotland.

If you're going to try to "Save the Union", at least do your best to remember all those countries which are actually part of it.

Norn iron, it appears, is something of an embarrassment for English people. Either that, or they just couldn't care less about it. Harsh but true.

Then is Wales also an embarrassment?
They were also left out from that particular article- I think it's more a question that the weakest link in the union is no longer between us and the mainland, but it's now between Scotland and England...which could you count as progress from a narrow Northern Irish unionist point of view.

But not to worry, the Sunday Telegraph has graciously included both ourselves and the Welsh in the overall campaign.
