Great Britain would equally be misleading surely? If the Scots are seperate on ICMAG
And UK sounds better, nationalistic politicians can't deliberately misinterpret the word "great" if people are only using the words "United Kingdom".
Though I'm no monarchist personally... and I don't think anyone would argue Britain is that "United"...
Can we think up a new name?
"Divided Britain"?
"CynicismLand"?
"The Islands of Rain"

you guys do this too?
GB excludes northern ireland rather than scotland. if we want a forum that doesn't contain scots, (and im sure hadrian would approve of that idea) then we would have to have sep forums for england wales NI. Not sure theres enough members who would want that. The only reason we have a separate scots forum I suspect is because OP is a scot.

my main worry is that it is so low down on the flags,and bloody scotland is above us,sort of ironic !.but surely we deserve to be higher up the flags than stone last !

"Some people hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete assholes. It's a SHITE state of affairs to be in."

What about....Little Britain....hahaha.
At least it takes the Great out of it, cause we are not that.
Little Britain was a great comedy show too.

I didn't think it was that good, just stock characters and fart jokes really...
"Dad's Army" - that was proper British Comedy

The USA was actually initialy colonised by British prisoner, we sent 50,000 over who never came back ...... don't think there were any 'Pilgrim Fathers' in the that lot
Pity we lost the US, great prison colony

and some other people ate the english,on many of a conquest ,it has also just been discovered that some of the settlers even ate each other,they have not yet confirmed if it was before or after the food ran out .

great prison colony
it still is the largest prison on earth lmao..
BTW the British people never colonised anything, the Crown corporation took ownership of foreign lands using the "British" people as little more than dogs, slaves for its ends..
We are laughably the most indebted nation on Earth
they fucked us hard.. and there are bubbles out there still to pop that will make what we have seen since 2008 seem like a duck walk..
serfs, little more than dark age peasants with computers..

how True. But very DARK ... !
i'm not worried at all but basically the biggest fraud in history is being pulled off right now around us and we might as well face that fact.. daylight robbery right in front of our eyes and the people are too gutless or more likely brainwashed and numbed(distracted) to do anything about the lead up to them losing all their remaining perceived rights..

1707,The Acts of Union, passed by the English and Scottish Parliaments in 1707, led to the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain ,ununited kingdom of not so great britain now. we must also marvel at the idea of calling a country "great" which i am sure we were,even if not now!
