I'm sorry if you think this video is inflammatory, but sometimes we just have to make a point...

Many people have been commenting that I am stating the obvious, others flat out refuse to believe that England is not a real country.

Which is it then?

In my humble opinion and experience, a country is generally a sovereign nation state. This is what people usually mean when they talk about countries. England is not a sovereign nation state, therefore in my humble opinion, England is not a country.....not a 'real' one anyway.

I know I am being hated for creating this video, but I simply had to make it. Why?

82% of the UK is English, but there are 3 other nations/provinces that make up the rest of the UK.

Many people consider them insignificant, because after all they only make up the remaining 18%.

Obviously this means that the UK is overwhelmingly English, but this is not a valid excuse for inventing things that simply don't exist.

English Passports, English Government, English Prime Minister etc.

By doing this, it comes across as ignorant, arrogant and desperate. Desperate to maintain the illusion that England is still a nation state in it's own right, on the same level as say Germany, or Italy.

I know many foreigners are guilty of the heinous crimes mentioned above, but in my personal experience, a large number of English people are too!

I have personally heard mention of English Passports by English people, English pounds, and when England invaded Iraq etc etc.

England although dominant in the UK, is merely a province of it. The largest province? absolutely, but a province nonetheless.

Ironically, the countries that the UK used to own are now 'real' countries, such as Canada, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, India. All these countries are members of the United Nations, wheras England is not.

I believe this essentially means that England is a colony within the empire it helped to create!

I find this to be an injustice, I am Scottish and I want Scotland and England to divorce themselves from a union that is very imbalanced. I want Scotland and England to be social partners on the Island of Great Britain, but to remove all economic, military, and foreign ties that bind us as the UK country.

I want to see 'England' on the little card in front of the ambassador from England at the United Nations.

---------------

The List below deals with England in particular (to get your attention of course) but applies to all 4 nations within the UK** * There is no such thing as an English Government. * There is no such thing as the Prime Minister of England * There is no such thing as an English Passport * There is no official currency called English Pounds. * There is no such thing as an Embassy or High Commission of England * There is no English Army * There is no English Navy * There is no English Air Force

The United Nations has 7 representatives from countries beginning with the letter "E" * Ecuador * Egypt * El Salvador * Equatorial Guinea * Eritrea * Estonia * Ethiopia * England? nope.

I made this video when I was still a supporter of the UK Union, but I reluctantly changed my mind about a year ago due to the relentless attacks on my own 'country' of Scotland by people who keep calling us subsidized and ruled by England.

It's a real shame, but you can see in the comments below, this attitude it still very much prevalent.

I look forward to the day when England and Scotland become real countries again, with important social and Royal links, but with no economic or political dependencies.

P.s.
This topic could also apply to Holland as well, maybe even places like Bavaria. But I've never heard anyone refer to Bavaria as a country so....

  • Actually I think you would find with little research that the UK can be called to war or any other means by the Queen who in fact is English so England have complete control over their affairs

  • @TroIIin is she not German?

  • Can I just say there:

    First, England is a member of the UN, it is a permanent member on the security council like the USA, France, Russia and China.

    Mainly you are arguing that that England is not a country, well, it is, and the UK, which has been chosen to represent England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, is a Kingdom, something which what the USA, which is where i am guessing you come from, is not.

    Therefore, England is a Country represented by the UK

  • HOLY SHIT! I've been fucking hallucinating this whole time! You mean England... isn't real? Am I in the Matrix?

see all

  • @UploadAdam I know that, you just agreed with me. I am saying that England is not a sovereign nation state. I know the UK is, I said so in the video.

  • @KoopaDrybones Well if we are talking England, I would call that 'North east' yeah.

  • @TheCGIMaster as I specified in the video.

  • Neither is Wales and Scotland or even Northern Ireland. They're all under the rule of the United Kingdom.

  • England is not a country in itself, I will agree with you there, but Britain on the other hand...well that kind of goes to say for itself I think...

  • @dauntless111 Yep, but not Aberdeen, I live in Ashington, next to Newcastle

  • @dauntless111 England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland are ALL Countries. England, Scotland and Wales make up the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a Sovereign State. This is not an opinion. This is Fact.

  • @TheTerradon1 actually, private business opened up the oil fields, not the ever so genereous people of England, Wales and NI. Scotland will receive the taxes, nuff said.
