Anyway, I'm not keen on this whole devolution thing. I have always called myself British rather than English because I am proud to be associated with all the people's of Britain and those that the country in turn is and has been associated with (ie the Commonwealth). It disturbs me that there are so many (or seem to be so many, if we judge purely by the racket they make) who are in direct opposition to this notion of unity.
Plus the England flag doesn't make me think of England at all, but rather football hooligans and chavs, which is why I much prefer the UK flag with all of its representatives in place, which would hardly be right without Scotland.
Arbitrary reasons, I know, but I can't deal with the ins and outs of the real stuff. Tidal estuarine mixing is enough for me to handle, thank you very much.
