British Politics

That is correct to a certain extent. Before the fall of the Soviet Union people would call it Russia. Even today people still say Holland but actually mean the whole of The Netherlands. Not sure if a Scottish or Welsh person would have said going back to Blighty though. I shall have my people look into it more.

 

They wouldn't - definitive. And not Paddies to be sure.

 

I think people in Britain and England use the terms England and Britain correctly. It is usual for people outside the UK to say England when they mean the UK.

I agree with what you say about the Soviet Union and Russia.

I didnt know that Holland was only part of the Netherlands. I checked and it's less than 20%! I'll use the correct names in future.

 

Yep, people in the UK use the terms correctly, but as you said the rest of the world generally don't.

I think there is a north and south Holland in the Netherlands, but to be honest even some of the Dutch say Holland when they mean the Netherlands. The daft, clog wearing stoners.

 

Yes, there is a north and south
and a lot of the Dutch use Holland
I read about it on wiki

Cool story

 

It's not,when I go to Newcastle or London I don't even say I'm going to England and certainly never use Britain/UK.

 

He is meaning people from countries that have even more stupid people than Ireland think that England is the UK.

 

Americans.

 

Nah not convinced and maybe it happens but I've never come across it or maybe I just know intelligent people!

 

I mean countries that you couldn't swim to from the UK. Somebody in Armenia would know England and know UK but not necessarily know Scotland. When I lived in Korea I often has to explain the difference between Great Britain/United Kingdom/British Isles. It also doesn't help the situation when some people think the Union Flag is the English flag.

 

Sir Keir Starmer apologises for visit to church criticised for LGBT stance - BBC News

 

Fair enough,I suppose it doesn't help when they appear in global events like the Olympics or the Eurovision as the UK.

 

Also a lot of people still speak about "The Queen of England".

 

I don't.

 

I was talking about the simple people...

 

Kier Starmer visits a Mosque for a photo op then apologises for Muslims teaching how to throw gays off a roof .

He then apologises for his apology as that is offensive to Islam and Islamophobic to criticise the religion of peace .

Starmer then apologises to the LGBTQP+ community for not condemning gays being thrown off roofs.

The lefty woke never ending circle of grovelling apologies.
