as for the idea of britain merging together from several different cultures over several thousand years is also rather stupid. over history, there have been several instances where the indigenous culture has been merged with an invading one over a few hundred years, only for the process to be repeated again (romans, saxons, vikings), and it was only really after the normans that the culture settled down and evolved how it is today, so no bitching about time already.

The last time I looked at a map, Scotland and Wales were firmly in the UK, as was Northern Ireland.

And I'm sorry, but I don't see that you provided any argument against what I said other than, "I don't agree", which is valid as far as it goes, but not convincing to me.
