[Sir Tigger KC]

So if Scotland becomes independent in 2016, what are the rest of us going to call ourselves?   

The United Kingdom refers to the union of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland, so that's out.    Unless we promote Wales from a Principality to a Kingdom, and then Northern Ireland could become a Principality to give Prince Harry something to do. 

Great Britain is the geographical name for the island of England, Scotland and Wales so that's no good either. 

England, Wales and Northern Ireland is a bit of a mouthful really, but how about some anagrams?

Like:- N.I.E.W., W.E.N.I., E.W.N.I. (pronounced uni), N.I.W.E., or E.N.I.W.

I also think Bastardsland has a certain ring to it... 

Any ideas?    and lets not turn this into an independence debate, just a bit of fun!

England. Jobbed.


It'll all be ours anyway, call it what ya like. (quick march to the door )

The Democratic Republic of North West Europe...

Personally I quite like the slightly reduced United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland

[Sir Tigger KC]

Can't have United Kingdom as Wales and Northern Ireland arn't Kingdoms as said... 

I guess we could have The Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland or KEWNI   

or The Kingdom of England, Principality of Wales and Northern Ireland also known as  KOEPOWNI ?

Slight improvement I suppose.

Incorrect. The full title of the  U.K. is The united kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Presumably the title will change to The united Kingdom of England Wales and Northern Ireland.
Scotland aren't really voting on independence as such. They are voting to leave the U.K. (or not), but the SNP are adamant they will remain in the EU,so they couldn't  really call themselves independent. Seems pointless to me.

Not such a big deal most of Hadrians Wall is still there...

Why not reflect reality and call it what it is the English Province of the European Union. 80% of our laws are dictated by the dictatorship in Brussels and the next treaty which ex-maoist Barroso and his Politburo are drafting and will push through by 2015 will finish the job and then you will really find out what they intend. 

Alternatively, we tell Brussels to stick all their treaties where the sun don't shine and become a sovereign nation and democracy again as Great Britain and live with much more prosperity and more happily ever after.

I'd drink to that
