The Scots and English are different countries

The Welsh too

And Northern Ireland should not be a part of the UK.

Well, you can fuck yourself because I'm a Kiwi

I lived all over the UK though, a couple of decades ago

The UK is a tight political union consisting of England and 3 countries who's populations have never recovered from what England did to them, and consistently vote contrary to it.

4 countries, part of one sovereign state
