One Britain One Nation

The 'One Britain One Nation' thing is very confusing.

Does Britain refer to Great Britain or to the United Kingdom?

Aren't there 3 nations on the Island of the Great Britain and 4 in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

'One Great Britain, Three Nations' doesn't have the same ring to it.

'One United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Four Nations' even less so.

The DoE (ie the English education department) is encouraging all schools across the UK to sing this song on Friday. Even though much of Scotland will have broken up and be having an inset day.

One Britain One Nation (OBON)@1Britain1Nation have kindly put up a video with an upside down Union Jack to promote this.

WTAF is this just trying to distract from segregating NI or blur the line on 'get Johnny foreigner out of the NHS'. Four nations need skill to unite, indoctrinating kids is not the way.

Satire really writes itself these days. It’s at best absurd, at worst creeping, insidious nationalism of the worst kind.
