How long until Bob asks the WBC to make Ramirez franchise champion to ruin the undisputed unification?

We ? Taking time to process Wales and Scotland as 'we' lol (although still both part of the disunited kingdom... for now... I guess)

"We" are the people of Britain. We have a shared history and culture going back millennia. We have no fences, walls or customs posts between the counties and countries of our island. We have one army, one Head of State, one Prime Minister, and one National Health Service. We all pay our taxes to the same government. Some of us identify as English, some as Welsh, some as Scottish, some as Cornish, some as Yorkies, some as Lancastrians, etc, but we are all British.

I was thinking the same
Exact thing. Wales and especially the self governing Scotland are different countries. Give it 5 years and the scots will be in their own as they should. I remember joe calzaghe’s famous words on a football match between England and a european nation, “I hope england lose.”
But....”we”....especially in the era of Brexit, BF, EDL, Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage, etc etc

The European team England were playing against was Italy, the homeland of Joe's father. Joe himself was born in London, England, btw.

True. Prograis could be like Mikey and just take whatever is the best offer fight by fight.

He should it avoids the bull**** if I was a name fighter I would be promoting myself for sure or going with one of the smaller guys like Diabella or salita . Too much politics with the big companies and if u are good the networks are gonna pay to see u fight the best, just gotta navigate getting tied up for more than a fight or two or contract . But top fighters dictate their own terms if they want to that why all these "politics " piss me off so bad .

Technically correct, but a growing number are no longer wanting to be part of Britain since England overruled their desire to remain in the EU, and that extends to the UK where Northern Ireland's desire to remain was also overruled by England (englishman, scot and irishman go into a bar. The englishman wants to leave, so they all have to leave).

So no borders.....yet, in time.

Here's what you should have written: An Englishman, Scotsman, Welshman and Northern Irishman walk into a bar. The Welshman and the Englishman don't like it and want to leave, but the other 2 want to stay put.

Of the 4 UK countries, Scotland and NI voted to remain in the EU, England and Wales voted to leave. But the total of Remain vs Leave votes in the UK as a whole was what decided the outcome.

Will Brexit cause Scotland and NI to leave the UK?

It's possible, but the reason would be because, for economic reasons, a majority want to stay in the EU, not because they no longer want to be British.

The narrow vote to leave in Wales was tipped by the English who live there (21% of residents English, 1/4 of them over 65). Strip out the English vote in Wales, and the Welsh wanted to stay too. To quote the Guardian "“Wales was made to look like a Brexit-supporting nation by its English settlers.”

Lol at "English settlers .. in fucking Wales"!!!

Only the Guardianista, who are obsessed with PC Identity Politics, would come up with a phrase as ridiculous as that, as if they were talking about an immigrant community in a foreign country. And only somebody who didn't have a clue about the real relationship between England and Wales would quote it.

What are "English settlers in Wales"? There are no such things as Welsh or English passports, so I guess it just means somebody who lives in Wales but was born in England .. like Joe Calzaghe.

The idea you seem to have, that the English all want to leave the EU and the Welsh, Scots and N. Irish want to remain is totally wrong. London has a higher percentage of people wanting to stay in the EU than anywhere else in the UK. And they're not all Welsh or Scottish "settlers"
