    Is the United Kingdom a country?

    Its more and more common for Dutch ppl to call it Holland apparently but there’s a contingent of sticklers who refuse to budge to their newfangled ways. A bit like me insisting it’s called the Union Flag I guess.

    Is the United Kingdom a country?

    I am not Dutch, but my understanding is Holland is a province in the Netherlands. Amsterdam is in Holland for example. From what I’m reading there’s no clear definition of country no, but most seem to want an independent government and England doesn’t have one sooo 🤷

    Is the United Kingdom 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...

    Is the United Kingdom 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...

    Would you have Tom Bayliss back?

    No. Not good enough for us now. Not the sort of CM we need while Kelly and Eccles are out either.

    Is the United Kingdom a country?

    There aren’t separate govts, there’s no English govt and Scot/Wales/NI can’t make their own trade deals or sign their own treaties, they aren’t sovereign any more than Coventry is because of CCC. The U.K. is a sovereign state like France or the US or China, the EU isn’t. It’s closer to the UN...

    Is the United Kingdom a country?

    Country doesn’t have an agreed movement. It’s just a defined bit of land basically. The EU isn’t a sovereign state, it needs member states to agree so it’s not sovereign. It’s a political union. There’s no single government or population like the U.K. England doesn’t have a government...

    Is the United Kingdom a country?

    England isn’t a state. It has territory and population but not a government or independence to engage in relations with other states. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montevideo_Convention Don’t think country has a definition. State is the closest.

    DO NOT boo the knee

    I think the fact we’re having this debate shows it is having an effect even if that effect is showing some of the racist pricks just how alone they are in their sad little thoughts. “gesture politics” Its fucking football mate, being a supporter is the ultimate in gesture politics. Gestures...

    Oh definitely, but he played that role well enough Saturday that we aren’t desperate. We are desperate for a LWB and a CB though.

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    6th with the resurgence of Allen at CM. Just a LWB and a couple of CBs needed for me now.

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Don’t see why another tram would take one of the bomb squad on and pay a fraction of the wage. Win win for everyone, we reduce costs, they get a cheap player, player gets fitness and in the shop window.

    Ratings v Reading

    I just think he’s had as much bad as good luck TBH and it stops being luck when it happens continuously. Like the old form is temporary class is permanent thing. I get what you’re saying, but I think any club who has had success could point to something similar. In reality you get lucky when...

    Ratings v Reading

    If Györkeres had scored his pen, if Dabos hadn’t been given, I’d we hadn’t had both our strikers injured for most of last season. We hit the woodwork some ridiculous amount last season, if all those had gone in. If we had got JCS in earlier, if we hadn’t lost Rose and him last minute before the...
