if we are splitting hairs, it's not England but the United Kingdom
The UK is multiple countries. Not really an impactful distinction, just saying.
You've confused England with the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland).
'England', or the United Kingdom?
Calling the UK part of Europe is a stretch...
You might want to talk to the Republic of Ireland about that British Isles bit
Isn't that bit of England/GB/UK situation?
The UK is not Europe, as anyone in the UK or Europe will tell you ;)
It's not even clear that all of the UK should belong to the UK
Actually - the UK not Britain - the latter leaving out NI?
