[Onnie Granados]

The men that worked for England
They have their graves at home:
And bees and birds of England
About the cross can roam.

But they that fought for England,
Following a falling star,
Alas, alas for England
They have their graves afar.

And they that rule in England,
In stately conclave met,
Alas, alas for England,
They have no graves as yet.



- G.K. Chesterton

I assume that everyone met at the White Cliffs of Dover to wave Europe goodbye as England floats out into the Atlantic. Please keep a careful eye out for icebergs.

[Graham Ritchie]

Mitchell....I doubt England can float anywhere without Scotland, Wales and the county of Northern Ireland. Its unfortunate that over many years and I have heard it time after, that people will often refer to England as if that's all there is to the United Kingdom although I still refer to it as Great Britain.... so will include this video show otherwise.

[Brian Fretwell]

And others (as in the term/misnomer Brexit) think Britain is the same as the United Kingdom, which is "the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island"
