@Felix_Romanus @johnmilbank3 I am 100% certain that passing an act in the imperial parliament saying that separation from the empire was illegal would have made up the MauMau sit up and say “What what Chaps, Mother England says we must take our bat and stop play. Shall we head home and have tea instead?”

As half English and half Scottish I feel wholly British. If the UK breaks up I will feel I have lost my country. I could not comfortably feel only English. There are very large numbers of people living in England who feel like this. I think it is a problem.

@MerryOlEngland But where would Yorkshireists buy their slight old-fashioned and somewhat overpriced tweeds and leather goods, walking canes and everything needed for the country gent about town? (Though must admit I don’t think I ever went into Browns of York, and it may be ultra modern).

@johnmilbank3 Almost no other countries on Earth allow seperatists to break up their country. We should make independence refurendums illegal and simply declare the union unbreakable in law. That's what everyone else does.

@MassimoGrazioni @gem_ste Duncan was seen off by Macbeth if I recall and James VI and I was a descendant of Duncan. So the new King of England was Duncan-Spawn. Good way to curry favour with the new pay-master.

@9Kings1910 And I saw a commentator on the state opening inform viewers that Charles III was an ancestor (!) not only of Charles I and II but of Charlemagne.

@carbo_al And on the devolution referendum, it was not a vote on whether Wales existed. It was a vote on whether they wanted more politicians. Voting no was an honourable and quite a Welsh thing to do if you think about it. Accepting the majority and getting on with the Senedd is also.

@carbo_al More substantively Wales may have a culture, legal system and overall vice closer to England than has Scotland, but it is very much not England. That culture, legal system and vibe are not English.

I'm gonna say something schizophrenic that will make nobody happy I support Irish unification & think Welsh nationalism is fake, Scottish nationalism is real but retarded & the island of Great Britain should be further integrated

Al Carbo@carbo_al

Welsh nationalism is a LARP fabricated in the post-WWII era Wales did not exist as a legally separate entity from England until the 1970s, in fact before the 1970s it did not even have broadly agreed upon borders, with whole county’s like Monmouthshire & Flintshire being in dispute

@MonkEmma So in other words, this is not a Starmer policy but a Thatcher policy that has gone unchanged by Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak and Starmer.

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

@thequentinletts The Duke is Prince of Waterloo in the Belgian peerage so perhaps an awareness of Brussels is appropriate.

Hereditary peers given life peerages include Oswald Mosley's great grandson, the Brussels-obsessed Duke of Wellington, Tony Benn's son, a Tory with the suggestive surname Effingham, and a chap whose Christian name is Aeneas (which is arguably even riper than my own).

@holysmoke I love that we are adopting this in Rnglish; this very formation has served us very well in Irish for 25 or so centuries.

@GeorgeDillon @wreck_it_derek @HearnsOfficial It is quite possible to be from a Gealtacht and not understand Irish grammar; to be Irish and not understand identatitive (is) or substantive (tá) states or to understate the ancient Celtic requirement _an fáilte Uí Cheallaigh a chur roimh duine, beag beann ar dhath a gcraicinn._

The Irish Zone 🇮🇪 🦌@NoelZone

Genetic Factors: Irish people are known for having fair skin, largely due to high levels of ancestry from northern white Europeans, which is advantageous for vitamin D production in northern climates. STFU. Africans cannot be irish indians brazilians etc etc. Irish are white.

@pauldelaney2012 Odd that Tony Blair was still not even leader of the opposition Labour Party and was only Shadow Home Secretary in John Smith’s HM’s Loyal Opposition. Paul. Some of us remember the 1990’s. The rest of them have google. Try to be better at “history” or is it just propaganda?

@TerriersFan @yuanyi_z He can no longer vote on child protection legislation or foreign treaties or on the tax regulations impacting big city banks. He can however organise a really good knees up for coronations and set up the rope-lines for lying-in-states etcetea. A good balance.

@TerriersFan @yuanyi_z Those state occasions are now recognised as non-legislative so the Earl Marshal no longer can sit in the house in legislative session but can attend when required to attended His Majesty when ceremonial duties require it.
