England is definitely a separate country from Scotland. What is also annoying is that the assumption is made that the only people who want full independence are the Scots and the Welsh. Many of us in England feel that our identity as a separate nation is lost when we are lumped together in the UK. This may not be of great importance to many of you, but I thought it would be a change to have a bit of domestic political thought from this side of the pond as a change from the farcical presidential recount in the states :-)

Not to worry, some of us in the states do understand that there is a difference. I do feel England did a better job integrating into one society the different native nationalities, while allowing the differences to remain. Here in the States we pushed the natives (American Indians) onto reservations and made their differences invalid in main stream society.
