Hello person who thought about watching this video same day as i did. After that lovely lady encounter, i declare you both Irish and Scottish

Ah but the South west Scotts are Irish from Northern Ireland and the Northern Irish are Scotts imported from Scotland to work in the ship yards.

There’s only twelve miles between Scotland and the Antrim coast.

He gets it all wrong. The video is nonsense.

Mexico and Canada are in the geographical area known as America but only people from the USA are American. Ireland is in the geographical area known as the British Isles but only people from the UK are British.

The Queen (and now King) can be both King of the UK and King of England, though. Similar for Australia. I understand Charles becomes King of Australia when he steps onto our soil. That doesn't stop him from being King of the UK and other dominions at the same time. (When he leaves our soil, he reverts to being our constitutional head of state). Mad, eh. That's why we love it.

I think it is still named "Soveign" when there is a King or Queen, that is Soveign to that nation. I think this still exists, somehow, if my understanding is correct, is it not ? I know know that there has to be an underlying thing going on as well. Kind of like, how that "cousin of the Korean prince" is and could take back control of their soveignty... if indeed.. Well, they just could.

Damn, I had to check when the video was uploaded after reading this because I just assumed it was at most a couple years old. This style of video really did hold up well and I'd almost say it was ahead of its time, considering how many more channels are cropping up lately in a similar-ish style.

Actually thats how you HAD to speak back in the old days of youtube. All these videos were short & fast back in "the beginning" lol. I think it was some kind of "rule" back then, if you didnt talked fast, people switched to other video. I have noticed that lately these kind of videos are longer (~10min) and no longer said in cadence of submachine gun.

Lost focus on spelling focus. Not a grammar nazi, just making a joke! 😜😂😂😂

That would be great for teachers too! But someone decided we have to put on a show, with different activities, using a range of ‘skills’, showing ‘progress’ every 5 minutes!! Basically wasting time!!!!

+Matt Warwick It's in England and therefore in the United Kingdom. If it was in Scotland it would also be in The United Kingdom. The U.K. clears up a lot of potential confusion.

If it had remained isolated, it might have developed into a separate country being neither Scotland or England.

Scotland really struggle with that one. As stated in the video, they get to vote on English laws, but we don't get to vote on Scottish laws. The Scottish FM loves to blame England for all Scotland's issues though as there is a large portion of Scottish people who actually believe her. Educated Scottish people understand how it works and know it's actually their FM screwing stuff up. For example; England is the only country within the UK where you pay for perscriptions. Scotland chose to subsidise theirs. We had no say in this, but the Scottish FM likes to keep this quiet.

The main arguments these days are the Celtic countries are sick of being told what to do by England!

But you get the opportunities to vote for your independence where as England doesnt get the choice to vote for its independence unfair i think. The English independence party does exist but its not took seriously so no opportunity to vote for it. If Scotland becomes independent they not only get to govern themselves but they also get a say in English government yet we wont be able to have any say in their country if this happens. You also have your own national anthems where we dont get the opportunity of having our own one like{Land of Hope And Glory}we instead have to have God Save the Queen which is also Great Britains national anthem,so England gets no separate identity here and its probably why people from around the rest of the world refer to her as the queen of England and not Britain,which can be really annoying for the English people who may not like the Royals that much
