Was always going to be difficult as soon as politics came into it. Has always and always will be the same.I haven’t even got a clue if you two are agreeing or disagreeing
Is the UK a country.What was the original question again?
The north of Ireland is a province.Hmm, a political union maybe so .
But it's 4 individual countries.. not 1 or are we classing the UK as 5 countries in total including the collective
Are you saying England isn't a country?The U.K. is a country. If you mean a country is something that passes the tests for statehood. It’s as much a country as Germany or the Netherlands or the US. It doesn’t have to answer to anyone else like the EU does.
England/Scotland/Wales are countries if you mean the broader definition of country, but they cannot make laws on their own as they are subordinate to the U.K. so don’t pass the tests for statehood. They’re closer to the States in the US, except England doesn’t even have a government so in many ways is less of a country than say Texas.
The problem is the definition of the word country, dictionary says:
View attachment 21544
No government: not a country. So England fails that definition.
The EU is nothing like the U.K. because the EU can’t pass laws, it can only request that it’s members do so, it’s more a collection of trade deals and treaties. Like the WTO.

Classic.Are you saying England isn't a country?
Are you also Grendel on here? You both seem to be following me a lot.Classic.
Still playing the victim then.Are you also Grendel on here? You both seem to be following me a lot.
Should have remained a lurker on here. It has been funny watching everyone pull each other apart for years. But it seems that Grendel makes comments nobody believes until they have a reason to want to believe. Most new posters are given a hard time by some.Still playing the victim then.
Astute observation of you.Should have remained a lurker on here. It has been funny watching everyone pull each other apart for years. But it seems that Grendel makes comments nobody believes until they have a reason to want to believe. Most new posters are given a hard time by some.
Will leave you to your fantasies.
It isn't hard to make an observation like this. The lad who posted about becoming a supporter from Liverpool had various accusations put forward. It seems to be the norm.Astute observation of you.
You should have just logged back in with your original account rather than making up weird fantasises of your own.Should have remained a lurker on here.

And I wondered why no new members stuck around.You should have just logged back in with your original account rather than making up weird fantasises of your own.
I’m not really into meeting up with men hiding behind fake accounts on the internet, thanks though.No reply but just an emoji? You going to QPR? Will make it a one off and show you who I am. Travelling down from Coventry on Friday night. Staying with family. Travelling back Sunday.
Or are you just on here for the wind up?
tbf, you do know who he is.I’m not really into meeting up with men hiding behind fake accounts on the internet, thanks though.
Weird you’d know so much about me as a new forum member. Unfortunately I am only until the early hours or Saturday morning.And there you go. Just a wind up.
And while we are at it is the avatar you use supposed to be yourself? You say you are over here from Italy but are not going to games? Yet you spend hours each day on here.
You put the information up about yourself. Click on your name and you say you live in Verona. You said you have come over.Weird you’d know so much about me as a new forum member. Unfortunately I am only until the early hours or Saturday morning.
Yeah I see myself as ‘The Dude’.
Are you saying England isn't a country?
Yeah I see myself as Jeff Bridges.You put the information up about yourself. Click on your name and you say you live in Verona. You said you have come over.
So is the avatar you use supposed to be yourself?
Just the same as the UK is only a country by definition but isn't really a country.Depends on your definition. By the dictionary, no it isn’t because it doesn’t have its own govenrment. But colloquially of course it is. England can’t make trade deals like Scotland can’t or Texas can’t. It’s not independent. It follows U.K. law.
The problem is country can mean as little as “region” or as much as “independent state”. It’s not a well defined word.
But England is to the U.K. as Holland is to the Netherlands, not as the Netherlands is to the EU.
So let me get this right.Yeah I see myself as Jeff Bridges.
Is your profile picture you?So let me get this right.
I am happy to show my profile isn't fake to someone with a longstanding fake profile.
Or is your profile picture not you?
Also quite strange how you proudly announce you have just arrived but only mention you are quickly leaving before a game.
I'm not saying anything about being Lassie. Of Jeff Lassie even.Is your profile picture you?
tbf, it's got a lot weirder recently.I know how weird this place gets.
I agree. Some people seem more interested in fake profiles than the excellent start we have had.tbf, it's got a lot weirder recently.
How can you agree if you are new here?I agree. Some people seem more interested in fake profiles than the excellent start we have had.
And a longstanding fake profile accusing others of having a fake profile. You couldn't make it up.
Longtime lurker. Been tempted for ages.How can you agree if you are new here?
tbf, it's got a lot weirder recently.
Sorry to disappoint you I’m not Jeff Bridges.This thread is bonkers.
