Our resident lawyer has raised a vital issue:
… how are there going to be ‘British’ embassies to no longer promote whisky? … (whatever name you come up with for the rest of the Disunited Kingdom).
If Nova Caledonia floats away, Britain will be diminished! Britannia’s rump will be……what? Anglia, including West Anglia?
This problem would never have arisen if Victoria’s desire to rename Scotland ‘North Britain’ had been adopted. Britain would now survive any minor pruning by hysterical apostates.
Please submit name suggestions for un-Jocked Britain – there’ll be prizes of course: 1st prize a week in Stirling, 2nd prize 2 weeks in Stirling.

The UK without Scotland? An increasing number of English, and I hasten to point out I am not one of them, would say Utopia!
From a previous post not so long ago…..
“And a name for the UK without Scotland? How about Good Britain? Or Disunited Queendom (as the Salmon wants to keep Lizzie) – that would work well at the Olympics – DQ against every athlete! Or even EWNI?That has a nice ring to it!”
An interesting debate on BBC this morning hosted by the omnipresent Nikki Campbell about the very issue. AS a real fence sitter, the argument seems a little theoretical to me, the economic situation just doesn’t add up, even with North Sea Oil revenue. Apparently the total tax revenue last year from NSO wouldn’t have even paid the welfare for Scotland, never mind keep them in profit.
And I am confused – Salmond seems to want a sort of not-really independent – he wants to keep the UK head of state and the defence and foreign policy. That doesn’t sound like independence to me!
If left to me I’d call it BRII
It’s up to you to tell me why.
I rather like NIWE [Niwe (?)] pronounced to rhyme with Phew!
If all these loons get their way then Wales will go followed by Cornwall.
How on earth do these idiots think they will survive without the South East and London supporting them. Like it or not it is the City that keep this country afloat and has been for the last 50 odd years.
Of course Salmond wants to keep parts, the parts that pay them to stay. If they want to go alone then go alone and no more money from us.
Go back to what it was before, Brittannia when they up North were called Caledonia.
I do like the Romans they were so organised and didn’t piss about!
We could do ourselves a favour by readopting some of their laws again too.
I really fancy decimation!
Bet the Romans didn’t put up with slime for too long!
The United Kingdom of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Alternately, considering what the economic implications are for Scotland,
The United Jockstrapped Kingdom.

But, but…..Christopher that doesn’t slip off the tongue easily enough. Maybe Britannia is best.
So the first and only prize goes to Christina. Enjoy! 😉
Bugger! Janus are you feeling well?
Better go and lay down until such convivial thoughts pass!
CO, have you ever been to Stirling?
Only in passing, I lived in Aberdeen for two years in the 60s.
