Elyse Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 This just blows my mind... I only found out a few months ago the UK isn't really its own country...its a country of countries. And Ireland isn't actually a country, its a geographical term. Why do the British have to make things so complicated!? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yep, that's us. We used to rule a large part of the world, but gave most of it back. Now most of the citizens of those countries (and every other country in eastern europe and the african and indian subcontinents) seem to be emigrating to the U.K. Primarily because we have one of the best welfare systems in the world. Which they then take immediate advantage of. Much to the chagrin of the tax payers who have to foot the bill. Great video, very informative. I didn't realise we still had so many little Islands as part of the Commonwealth or independancies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Sometimes when I get bored at work I look at random Wikipedia pages, and read an article about the Queen. I never understood why they had the Queen and the Prime Minister, or that Canada was a constitutional monarchy. It's still confusing to me, but the video was very informative. I had always thought the UK, Great Britain and England where one in the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think so. Unless it was someone else? I remember showing my step dad, he laughed his socks off. This being the only forum I'm a member of so it's unlikely I've seen it elsewhere :/ Have you ever seen a channel called scishow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
