Without the media having to point it out to us, we will all have noticed how often Gordon punctuates all speeches on all themes with the word Britain. I remember in one single speech it was recorded over 100 times. Why should this be? If our Prime Minister wanted to be politically correct, why does he not use the word ‘United Kingdom'? It is after all the name we use at the United Nations where we cling onto our permanent seat on the Security Council by our fingertips. Perhaps because this seat has been set aside in Gordon's future plans for the United Socialist States of Europe? (I will hold a referendum on the European Constitution, watch my lips, i didnt say Treaty)

This speculation aside, by looking back into the history of the word ‘Britain' we might find an answer. A certain fact is that our PM is not English, the most populous by far of the ‘Home Nations'.

‘Britons' was the name given by the Romans to the variety of Celts (Brythons) who occupied most of Great Britain and parts of the Continent, most notably Brittany. This term excluded the Irish Celts (Gaels) and the Picts of Western Scotland but it did include the ‘Scots'.

Some of the Kingdom's subjects living in Northern Ireland may speculate that there is perhaps another underlying future policy when the PM says ‘Britain'. That being to unite Ireland and exclude them?

After the Romans withdrew, a wide variety of Germanic tribes took over and settled what may be considered today as England. These peoples included Angles, Saxons, Friesians, Jutes and a few Franks. From the Angles we derive the name England. In general terms we refer to all these folk as Anglo-Saxons. The Romanised Brythons were pushed North and West into what is roughly today, Scotland and Wales. Could it therefore be understood, that when the PM uses ‘Britain' it is because he secretly harbours a wish that the ancient Celts will once again re-occupy all of Great Britain? No, of course not. It is more a case that we, the People of England are now subjugated to a Brython rule. Well, at least thats what Bede might have written had he been alive to hear the Scottish accents of our Government's rulers.
