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 @LillyHerself I think they do know. I think their continual efforts to confuse the population is by design.

@CloudyMrs @LillyHerself With some it’s simple carelessness, with others it’s arrogance. For some it’s a strategy to try to continue to erase the individuality of Wales, NI and Scotland. It’s tiresome in all cases.

The "North Britain" strategy. Its return matches the change in Unionism: it used to be that mainstream Scottish Unionists accepted that Scotland was a nation with its own culture, etc. but argued the best option for that nation was to remain within the UK. As that argument has become visibly more untenable, it has switched to a British Nationalist position, that the UK consists of a single British nation, administratively divided into historical regions.
