Always enjoy your posts but England does not need a Devolved Parliament as Westminster is the post 1707 continuation of the pre Act of Union English Parliament. What in earth is British English?
I think British English was my inelegant way of not choosing between the two! Re devolution, I've not studied the 1707 Act of Union, but it is odd for Westminster to be both the parliament of England and the UK. But I also think a country that doesn't much care about its constitution is generally a good thing.
Beautifully observed, - and a delight to watch the Three Lions video!
Thanks, Graham. And yes, it's a proper banger of a song, not just a novelty record!
