I understand being a united kingdom has allowed to fight off the nazti threat and other invasions but the forming of the union is a sham
The England and Wales union didn't acknowledge welsh rights or its flag
The Act of Union between England and Scotland was created by greedy fat cats in London and Edinburgh not to create a equal rights britain
but to crush the Highland and Gaelic way of life oppress it if you like

So while waving the union flag now seems ok back then to the celts it was a sign of brutal oppression

Yes Bryn, the Union of 1707 was brought about by the bribing of already rich landowners.
It was deeply unpopular among the common people. Angry mobs are reported to have roamed the streets of Edinburgh shouting "English dogs"!

After the Union the name Scotland ceased to exist. If you look at maps from the time, you will see it called North Brittain.

You think that is bad you should see the way The Duchy has been incorporated!
