Well if it does it'll be primarily your beloved Noo Labour's fault me old china, for enacting the devolution catastrophe. Is it time to reverse that and bring the Union back together? TBH I think England will thrive without the millstones of Wales, Scotland and NI anyway so it's them that need to get their April in gear.

I’m afraid I really don’t get where you’re coming from. When you said this: "...but the British seem to be rapidly giving up on Britain." I assumed that by “Britain” you meant the political entity that was Britain. But in the last few posts you seem more concerned about the niceties of what the remainder should be called were Scotland to gain independence

Scotland would still be part of GB but not part of the UK.
So, as I said before at least twice .... :-)
As to dissolving the union tho it wouldn’t. When the Kingdoms of Scotland and England United in 1707 they became the Kingdom of Great Britain.
The UK only became the UK when Ireland joined. So the “union” is at least a reflection of union with Ireland or a part of it as anything

ich: "I explained why it could no longer be called the "Union of Great Britain and N Ireland" while still a Union.
If the full name of the EU was "the European Union of ....... and The UK", that would change too, but it wasn't so it hasn't " - Scotland is not mentioned in the name, Great Britain is more than England and Scotland.

I seen that until 26th March 1953, the Queen's Royal Style was, "By the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Queen, Defender of the Faith"
It was only later that the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland were mentioned in her Style.
It seems there was no United Kingdom in the Twentieth Century under three and a bit Monarchs, the current Queen and Kings George VI, Edward VIII and George V.
Perhaps then, it could be just GB & NI with no Scotland?

Tora, when the country in which you now live was called Great Britain, which it was between 1707 and 1801, what did Great Britain refer to: the island on which you stand, or the union of England and Scotland that was created by the Acts of Union of 1707?
There is an answer to this question, and it's not "both".
It's the Acts of Union. Before that, you would have been living in England, not Great Britain. You would have been living on Great Britain, the island, in England, the country. The country of Great Britain was created by the union of England and Scotland. And that's the thing now referred to in the full name of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
