Max ... are you just reaaaallllllyyyyy stupid? You spelt Ireland Island - more than once! If you're British you should be ashamed of yourself - everyone knows how to spell Ireland from when they're about 6 years old.

United Kingdom - The bigger island on the right (Including England, Wales and Scotland) AND Northern Island (a small section of the smaller island on the left). It also includes all of the much much smaller islands that are scattered around the the bigger island.
Great Britain - The bigger island on it's own (England, Wales and Scotland) plus all of the much much smaller islands that are scattered around Great Britain. It does not include Northern Island.

The Isle of Man is neither a part of the UK nor Great Britain. It is a Crown dependency with a "curious" relationship to the UK/GB which makes its people Britsh citizens with rights of abode in the UK even though they hail from a country/island/offshore region which is external to the mainland UK/GB. Hmmm... the mighty Blighty is nothing if not precise in the manner in which she governs her realm.

RE: Charlie Duthie. The United Kingdom WAS formed in the 1707 act of union. This is when the kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland were officially joined into a United Kingdom. Many other places were officially joined afterward. So there is no mistake.

Does anyone know whether or not wales and northern Ireland are truly seperate nations to England, i suspect that they aren't but i'm not sure... but if britain split up it would only split into two nations, England and Scotland, wouldn't it?
Wales has its own assembly but that isn't a government exactly because it doesn't have the legislative powers of one, and so in effect wales is still run almost completely from westminister. Wales was a part of England before the forming of Britain, and since they only have a welsh assembly and not a government then it is still english.
Northern Ireland on th other hand doesn't have a assembly, so it is surely english...

I am looking for the name of a military person served during the French and English war. The last name was Montgomery. Would like to know the first and middle name of any Montgomery's who served during this time. (Possibly at the Plains of Abraham.) Can anyone advise me as to how to find such a list of soldiers? Thanks...Sunao

The United Kingdom was not created in 1707. The Act of Union of 1801 saw the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland unite to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The 1707 Act created the Kingdom of Great Britain. Please correct this error in your summary.

The problem is global, Fractal Minto. It is very difficult to enforce world-wide rules. On public finances, governments are still allowed a choice whether to satisfy the public interest nationally, or international norms. They can service international debt, or use the money instead to increase spending on social programmes locally - helping their re-election; this complicates decisions on foreign aid. Protection for financial checkers might be a good place to start changing the existing arrangements. See “After Andersens - who’s next?” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Arthur_Andersen) On the global market, about 75% of the world's oil resources are closed to the oil majors. See Nationmaster Energy - comment on April 28. (http://www.nationmaster.com/cat/Energy) Many countries think we have the law of the jungle.

RE: UK forces in Iraq - The population of the UK elects a government to make decisions for the people as a whole, those decisions are discussed in both chambers of parliament and in committees. Every four to five years the people get the chance to pass judgment of the performance of a government in a general election. Some people call this elective dictatorship. We are in Iraq because our legally elected government chose, on our behalf, to support the US administration's invasion. Right or wrong, that decision was one for the government of the UK to take and one for the people of the UK to judge.

Like the Isle of Man, Scotland is also a nation within the UK and the European Union. Yesterday, the president of the European Commission made an official trip to Glasgow and ventured that Scotland was perhaps the most pro-European part of the UK. http://www.sundayherald.com/48862. Later this year, the UK is representing the EU at the G8 Summit in Scotland. The views of member-states will of course need reconciling beforehand, if the UK is to act effectively for the Union. It looks as though the president of the EC thinks Scotland is a candidate for doing the necessary international diplomacy. But this is really a question of Westminster's enthusiasm for the European project.

Does anybody have any ideas to why our armed forces are in Iraq? We seem to be in Iraq because the House of Commons supported the government's wish to intervene in support of the foreign policy of the United States administration. "The official US view about the war’s justification remains firm: that Saddam Hussein was an increasing threat, that his overthrow has brought democracy to Iraq, and that the regional consequences of the war across the region are positive."(source: http://www.opendemocracy.net/themes/article-2-2393.jsp) We will doubtless remain in Iraq until instructed otherwise - but who should we listen to this time, the US, the EU or the UN?

"A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the European Monetary Union for the time being." The UK might stay outside the Euro zone for some time yet. The rules for limiting the public spending of governments were made more loose this week; notwithstanding, the Chancellor of the UK Exchequer has suggested that the new rules still aren't loose enough for his government's spending plans. Poor taxpayers!

Argentina is awesome and way better than America. I am originally from Italy and still don't understand English, Protestants and the Anglo theory of evolution. If a Protestant such as Darwin believed it then all Protestants believe in this theory or what. And why do you white Anglos take from so much from the language of our ancestors?
