QUOTE (FionaK @ 7/6/2012, 23:27) 
Ed Milliband is now weighing in on behalf of the union. Seems he made a big speech today on english identity: fair enough

But I saw this headline in the Guardian

www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2012/ju...nce-ed-miliband

Er....that is news? I seem to remember that I live in the British Isles. So it does not seem to me that this is in his gift really. Once again we see the utter confusion they have between british and english. This is part of what annoys scots, so I do so hope they keep this kind of campaigning going.

Biography is about chaps, but geography is about maps. Not to be confused.

This bit is rather natty:
Miliband insisted that leaving the union would mean that Scottish people would lose their British identity – challenging the argument put forward by the Scottish Nationalists, who have insisted that Scottish people would continue to be British in a geographical sense.


That's a challenge?! Bring back the old muddleheadedness, I say, before modern clarity ruins the game!
