Have arcane UK undergo either revolution or break up

1. In Bold, is really utter nonsense, Britain is nothing like Austria-Hungary in any way

2. Its not really a union of different peoples.

3. So because the UK has a monarchy and house of lords its automatically A-H?

4. Ireland has only really been a modern, secular nation since the mid 1990s, and even now I wouldn't say Ireland is noticeably more or less progressive than the UK

This OP is quite frankly offensive and insulting to me, as a British person.

You clearly don't live in the UK because you don't think it is a union of the English, scots, nor thenorthern Irish and Welsh. You offend me because by saying it's not a union of peoples', you pretend the non-English parts don't exist. So you're the offender.

He said it's not a union of different peoples.

This is correct. It is a union of crowns and of countries. The constituent parts of the union are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - the first and third being kingdoms in their own right, the second being a principality and the fourth being the remnants of the Kingdom of Ireland.


You also have an image of the United Kingdom which is really quite at odds with that of a lot of people who also live here - please appreciate that our incredulity is what's going on, and we're certainly not trying to deny the existence of non-English cultures in the UK...
 
Britain is a very arcane and quite anarchranistic a country. It in many ways resembles Austria-Hubgary more than any modern country, in the sense that is a union of different peoples, or to put it bluntly, an English empire.

You haven't been keeping up with current affairs in the UK have you?
