Why do so many posters on here seem to be struggling to accept that the U.K. doesn’t just include England?

And that we have different rules regarding Covid?

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve seen so many comments from posters asking rather aggressively why others posters are still meeting up, going for meals, to the pub, for drinks, to the gym etc ‘when we are in lockdown’? Well actually no, England is in lockdown. I’m in Wales and we are not in lockdown. Scotland is not in lockdown. I believe Northern Ireland wasn’t but is about to go back into it. The U.K. doesn’t begin and end at the borders of England...

I’ve just seen one thread where a poster continually pointed out she was in Scotland but that didn’t stop the ‘ we are in lockdown’ remarks.

Please educate yourselves. It’s annoying.

@SionnachRua - Although I believe the UK haven't actually honoured the GFA there because NI people are meant to be able to identify as Irish or British.

Yes, that is correct. I suppose them refusing to honour the GFA in that regard was a sign of their lack of integrity and good faith wrt international agreements they sign. Nobody should really have been surprised by the IMB given they have form.

This thread proves that Annibyniaeth can't come fast enough, I just hope I'm alive to see it.

England invaded and colonised Cymru, murdered our royal family and stole their titles for themselves. Then systematically tried to destroy our language and culture.

Devolved parliaments are all well and good but Drakeford has written to Johnson umpteen times regarding coronavirus and was ignored. The Tories are passing a bill as we speak to allow them to dissolve all of the devolved governments when they feel like. So we are forever beholden to Westminsters whims.

With a bit of luck this so called union will dissolve in my lifetime and all the colonised nations will have their independence.
