    Apart from in the minds of some zealots England is barely a place anymore. On the world stage is part of the United Kingdom and even in local stats it's usually England and Wales.

    Sometimes I see fact checking and I wonder if it is a weird sort of push poll type situation.

    Like who sees that on social media and would very many people even think it is true / plausible?

    Ah, and the Scots thought they had a new route to independence.

    Greenland, Norway, Venezuela etc are still up for grabs?

    No mention of Wales either.

    Fact Checking Donald Trump is just Schroedinger's joke. He didn't say it until one day he changes his mind and he did say it.
