I Live In the United Kingdom

I read in the Western Mail this morning that Wales, along with Scotland and Northern Ireland have objected to the bill that allows us to leave the EU. It was not reported in the UK press. As I understand it the UK parliament can overrule that but it will be for the first time ever. And it gives the right to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to consider whether they wish to be part of the Union. A lot of people world wide don’t realise that the UK is made up of different countries. And it’s like EU, we can leave.

I didnt realise that Wales had the right to belong to the EU separately. That would get .... ugly, with the need for border guards against smuggling to/from England.

We need to think about the words. United Kingdom. But we are not united. @firefall
@firefall Time to start the wall, yet??? 🤣

There is one already. Offa’s Dyke was built by the English to keep the Welsh out. @HootyTheNightOwl

@BlodynHaf Yes ... of course, remove Ireland and the United Kingdom becomes Great Britain instead.
IDK what its called without Scotland as well, though

@BlodynHaf stunningly unsuccessfully, of course 😂 So much for the Kingdom of Mercia

@firefall Great Britain is the name our island. It was quite happy till about 1500 years ago. But we didn’t have rules in place about illegal immigrants.
@firefall we don’t .
