@angloid0 Presumably because historians are divided as to who to count in that role.

It's so sad that most English people don't even know who the first king of England is

@sark_08850 @jurgen_nauditt Incorrect. The term Union Jack is a proper name, established by centuries of use, so it's irrelevant where it comes from.

@jurgen_nauditt Just so you know, the British flag is not a Union Jack, it's the Union flag. The Union Jack is the triangular flag ships fly.

The US Protocol Office has raised the English flags in honor of the visit of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. 😂😂😂

@RedDave14 @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach So what? It's a term that was used.

@DaughtersofFrya @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach Only as a description: the 1707 Act was very clear on the name of the State.

Okay some of you are not understanding my point at all. Green as a country = Kingdom of Great Britain. This is because Ireland WAS the United part of the United Kingdom. No Ireland=no United Kingdom

@RedDave14 @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach The facts do indeed remain. The term United Kingdom was used of the union between England and Scotland in 1707.

@DaughtersofFrya @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach Why is that relevant? What is clear is the texts of both the Acts of Union - you can accept them, or not: but the facts remain. Here’s the 1801 Act, for clarity

@RedDave14 @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach What was the official name of the Kingdom of England?

@DaughtersofFrya @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach No, not really: older documents, treaties are very specific as they set out the limits of whatever State, including possessions.

@RedDave14 @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach Customs about legal precision change. But it doesn't matter, anyway. All we needed was to demonstrate that the term was used.

@DaughtersofFrya @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach They clearly use the name of the state, in lines 2/3 - Great Britain. Compare that to the very definite language used in the Act of Union 1801, where the two kingdoms are specifically named: Great Britain, and Ireland.

@RedDave14 @CavanUlster @P_Soisialach We simply needed proof that it was used, and we have it. In any case, the Act is ambiguous as to the actual name of the state. They were less worried about such things back then.

@CavanUlster @DaughtersofFrya @P_Soisialach That’s just a descriptor - not the actual name of the State

@CavanUlster @P_Soisialach Yes. In Article I.

@DaughtersofFrya @P_Soisialach Are you sure?

@CavanUlster @P_Soisialach No. The term united kingdom was used in the 1707 Act of Union with Scotland.

@P_Soisialach So the little Northern Ireland bit is what’s keeping the United bit in the name going?

Article I of the 1707 Act of Union with Scotland: "THAT the two Kingdoms of England and Scotland shall upon the first Day of May which shall be in the Year one thousand seven hundred and seven, and for ever after, be united into one Kingdom by the Name of Great Britain; and that the Ensigns Armorial of the said united Kingdom be such as her Majesty shall appoint, and the Crosses of St. George and St. Andrew be conjoined, in such Manner as her Majesty shall think fit, and used in all Flags, Banners, Standards and Ensigns, both at Sea and Land."

@P_Soisialach The term United Kingdom was informally used during the 18th century, even in the 1707 Act of Union itself between England and Scotland.

A genuine pet hate of mine is alt history mappers who call Great Britain “United Kingdom” despite the -United- part of the name only existing because of Ireland.

@EuroBriefing During the Middle Ages, from the fall of Rome to the Renaissance, Europe was something of a backwater. Its civilisation came quite close to extinction in the early part of that period.

By far the hardest thing for liberal Europeans to accept is the rise of a non-eurocentric world. Europeans can deal with the far-right, or Donald Trump's rants. But they cannot deal with being ignored. For over 3000 years, Europe was at the centre of the political, cultural and economic universe. It still thinks it is. eurointelligence.com

@johnrapheal01 @RUltimateTobi @RupertLowe10 If you could suggest some examples, that would be great.

@DaughtersofFrya @RUltimateTobi @RupertLowe10 What about the good others have done ?

Islam should not receive any special privileges in Britain - whether that's slaughter exemptions, an 'Islamophobia tsar', blasphemy laws, parallel legal systems or whatever else. Certainly no special rules for defining Islamophobia - all religions should be open to mock, criticise and insult. That includes Islam. Quite frankly, we have already done more than enough to accommodate Islam and that needs to be reversed. Restore Britain will do exactly that. Halal slaughter banned, cousin marriage outlawed, sharia courts made illegal. The burqa and the niqab will not be welcomed on our streets. We will not change our way of life or tolerate intolerable practices. That is a choice. We will just not do it. There is finally a political party that holds the courage to do what needs to be done. Restore Britain.

@johnrapheal01 @RUltimateTobi @RupertLowe10 So it's not, in your opinion, an example of diversity being a strength?

@DaughtersofFrya @RUltimateTobi @RupertLowe10 Very bad and should never be allowed to happen, rape is brutal, I don’t wish it on my enemies

@johnrapheal01 @RUltimateTobi @RupertLowe10 What's your opinion on the rape gangs?

@RUltimateTobi @RupertLowe10 Not really

Though not one of the six annual Frisian festivals, we'll be holding a vigil to mark the spring equinox on the night of 21/22 March at Moseley Bog, B'ham. In ancient times, observation of the spring equinox was essential for calendar regulation. Website - daughtersoffrya.org
