A country which consists of four smaller countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (The term "Great Britain" refers to England, Scotland and Wales. Add Northern Ireland and you get the UK.) It is ruled by Queen Elizabeth II and is over a thousand years old. The people there speak English (along with welsh and gaelic), which is also spoken worldwide, as a result of Britain owning a quarter of the world. Technically speaking, the UK is a part of Europe, but we don't really belong there. We're British not European.
Some notable things to arise because of the UK include: the telephone, the computer, the television, penicillin, the refrigerator, the bicycle, the pneumatic tyre, the Unites States of America, the steam engine, the atomic clock, the sewing machine, the postal service, the Christmas card, the pencil, the typewriter, the telegraph, the ATM, the MP3 player, the computer mouse, the adjustable spanner, the chocolate bar, the dishwasher, the tin can, the lawn mower, the smallpox vaccine, the world wide web, fish and chips, the tank, the depth charge, the tuning fork, modern atomic theory, the electricity generator, the pocket calculator, the laws of motion, the theory of evolution, tennis, golf, baseball, cricket, football, the jet engine, the submarine, the postcard, plastic, the bank of England, the bank of France, the boy scouts....
The United Kingdom is a pretty awesome country, considering that it's one fortieth the size of their children across the Atlantic.

The United Kingdom is NOT England.
England, Scotland and Wales are the countries which make the term 'Great Britain. '
Ireland is a separate country which is split between- Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland. Only Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.
So, the United Kingdom is Great Britain ( England, Scotland, Wales) and Northern Ireland.
The proper name for the UK is ' The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'

"the prime minister is labour tory.theres a mosque at the end of your street and a french restaurant next door. We are neither in or out of Europe. We are famous for our beer but drink in wine bars. we are not a colonial power but still have a commonwealth. we are jealous of the rich but buy into the Hello! celebrity culture. We live in a United Kingdom thats no longer united. We are muddled." -Jeremy Clarkson

The only place on earth that securely ties itself to a chair and then cordially invites all the scumbags of the world to come and rob it of its own riches and benefits, even passing laws to help them to do so and prevent its own indigenous population from doing anything about it. This has come to such a head that the people with any money /common sense are gradually (upon retirement or earlier)moving away to such places as France, Spain, Portugal to escape the madness. Eventually the indigenous population will dwindle to such a degree that there will be too few people contributing into the system to support the ever increasing number of scumbags taking out of the system.
I'm moving awaqy from the United Kingdom to escape from the ever increasing number of scumbags the country seems hellbent on importing.
