Let's see. By Ireland, I presume you mean Northern Ireland? The stolen provinces the dn Brits refuse to give back to the Republic of Ireland? Yeah, that's bizarre. The twist is that Northern Ireland wants to be a part of England...at least today they do. Then you've got the Irish whizzes thought "fought" to get a seat in Parliament, but they refuse to take the oath of office, because it says something about the Queen of England. But they sort of have a seat, but can't vote, because they refuse to take the oath of office. They seem to be happy with that arrangement. Scotland is getting bizarre. Instead of apparently being just another part of Great BRitain, it now has it's own parliament. Sort of like the Republic of Texas being revived and having some autonomy and still being a state. Besides their own parliament they also have representation in the English parliament...I can't figure out how the Scottish parliament relates if at all, to the representives in the English parliament...I almost got a Brit to talk about that, but he got so excited I couldn't understand what he said. Another Brit said he figures that Scotland is getting prepped to secede...and he doesn't care. Happy to get rid of the lot. Wales. That looks a lot like it's Britain. Except some people there apparently would rather not be. They want to go back to some fairyland alternate history where they were free, independent and happy. Some?! When someone from England enters a room in Wales, they all start talking Welch and pretend that the chair the limey is sitting in is empty. Which reminds me of a proposal I have for an international law....no word shall have more than three consonants in a row. jttmab
