I've often wondered why England never annexed Wales and called it something else. The same goes for Scotland and Ireland too. Did you know that Scots was known as Inglis until about 1500, when writers began to call it Scottis?

Peakie.....
We did annex Ireland. We called it Ulster.
On reflection it was not the brightest thing to do.
We were not very kind to our friends in Caledonia either, our records on human rights is not good.
Please do not emulate the far right and denigrate other nations even if in jest.
Of course I have no objection in kicking those Welsh twats in the balls for their stupid postings but they are individuals and not representitive of the fine people of Wales.

Yes I did. I once wrote a really bad essay on the topic. Didn't endear me to our haggis munching chums any. Or vice versa I don't doubt.

Re: "We did annex Ireland. We called it Ulster." I meant the whole of Ireland. I'm a staunch Parliamentarian and a huge fan of Cromwell and his Black and Tans. They did a marvellous job over there and should have been allowed to finish it.

Re: "We were not very kind to our friends in Caledonia either, our records on human rights is not good." Are you referring to the Highland Clearances? If so, historical records show that other Scottish clans were responsible for far greater atrocities than the English. This fact is, of course, conveniently overlooked by Scottish nationalists.

Re: "Please do not emulate the far right and denigrate other nations even if in jest." I don't think you can go much further right than the SNP and Plaid Cymru, can you? I just disagree with borders and boundaries and consider the desperate 'clutching-at-straws' which is Scottish and Welsh nationalism to be both retrogressive and inane. I'm not all too happy about the astronomical cost of the Scottish parliament building either.

Re: "Of course I have no objection in kicking those Welsh twats in the balls for their stupid postings but they are individuals and not representitive of the fine people of Wales." Agreed, I've met some lovely people from that part of the world. The ones I can't stand, however, are those (Welsh, Scottish, Irish and English) who look back through rose-tinted spectacles in the hope of identifying and reclaiming some illusory sense of national identity, ignoring completely the present multi-cultural reality of modern Britain. I say get a life, get a grip, stop wearing stupid skirts, stop trying to resurrect dead languages, and let's try to solve problems that really do have a bearing on the present.

There is irony: taking the piss out of the Welsh, the Scots, the French even. But really. You can take a flippant attitude too far.

The highland clearances were also started by James I (or James VI in scotland), who needed some breathing space while in England to ensure there wouldn't be any major revolts back in Scotland. Sir Thomas Holte was one of the providers of the finance for this, which is why if you go to Aston Hall the red hand of Ulster can be seen, Sir Thomas having this added to his coat of arms by James I, due to his money lending activities.

The majority of the Welsh land accessible by the train line are full of Brummies anyway... they are proactively leading a subtle takeover of the country...

Hunterg is right. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than to think that the water you drink is saturated with the piss and shit of millions of our sheep and cattle.

I believe that the water goes through a rigorous purifying process before it reaches our taps, you Taffy twat.
