Channel 4 news discussing a play called "The death of England". Speaking at length about "The Nation", "The country", "The UK" and "Britain". FFS. England might well be dying, but it still doesn't have a clue what it even is. #EnglandIsNotTheUK #Englandisnotbritain #EnglandIsNotANation
@CloudyMrs Surely England is one of the four nations of the UK?
@LillyHerself Surely, it is. It is not though, The UK, the Nation or Britain. In a piece specifically about England, would it be so difficult to just refer to it as England?
@Indyposterboy @CloudyMrs @LillyHerself But the ISO code for the United Kingdom is ... "GB" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB
@EvenRouault @Indyposterboy @CloudyMrs @LillyHerself I think this is the point someone says 'This is where it gets complicated'
@EvenRouault @Indyposterboy @LillyHerself England is part of the United Kingdom of GB and Northern Ireland. Alone, it isn't GB. It's England.
