Games up for Britain
We occasionally hear people trying to define what makes us British, well this is no definition just a point.
The acts of Parliament joining Scotland and England thus creating Britain came into effect on 1st May 1707, shouldn’t we be having a party.
I’m not aware of any celebrations, chances are nobody would invite me, though I would assume 300years might be worth a bit of a do.
I realise that Scottish nationalist will take over the Scottish parliament a couple of days later, which I assume will be the beginning of the end.
Maybe ignoring history is what makes us British for a week or two more.
I might have got my dates wrong or something, and that wikipedias not much cop .
Bit like not celebrating your wedding anniversary.

We can remember slavery and its horrors when we were meant to be celebrating its abolition but its not PC in a devolved UK to remember THE UNION!
