England..
|
So slightly off topic, but should England as a country be able to expect little change in the coming years? We nearly had Scotland leaving, and we have rife immigration, and then religious takeovers....
Should the English resist? be allowed to resist? take it on the chin? be encouraged to change? What will England look like in 20 years?

I'm not sure, but I have noticed from recent historical work that you people seem to be developing a real sense of self loathing.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
I didn't make up that reference.

I thought England was already separated from Scotland and Wales.... It's the United Kingdom that binds all these... what do you call them?... states?... countries?...zones?

Just I feel that British history docs tend to focus on the negative instead of positive.
