    Quebec is to Canada what Cornwall is to England. They want to be seperate but never will be.

    The four countries that make up GB are seperate, they have been totally seperate in the past

    Who is free? At all? Noone, I would say.

    I am not free. Canadions are not free. Americans are not free. Noone is free.

    Has this anything to do with RHP? I don't think so. This is far off topic.

    Scotland is a nation, not a country for the following reasons:

    Doesn't have sovereignty over its borders or land: Have you ever been asked for your passport when travelling into Scotland? Are there border checkpoints between Scotland and England? If the UK government wanted to build a nuclear base in Scotland would Scotland be able to say "No, build it in your own "country"? Of course not.

    Doesn't have it's own foreign embassies and doesn't issue it's own visas.

    Doesn't issue it's own passports.


    I think some people's BASIC geography was a little too BASIC.

    Scotland is a country - end of story.

    No matter how many times you say it isn't, it will still be one.

    And Quebec isn't. 😏

    I didn't say that. Get your quotes right.

    Northern Ireland isn't a part of Great Britain. It is a part of the UK, though.

    Great Britain is also widely, but incorrectly, known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

    Has this anything to do with RHP or chess?
    Aren't we way off topic right now?
    Isn't there any other forum in where you can continue this kind of political discussion?

    That's even further off topic.

    Incorrectly being the key word.
    Northern Ireland isn't part of Great Britain.

    To be more clear, the manager-master of this site should add as any flag as possible, wich represente really the place you growned and improved your skills as an earth ship, a skin that envelopes an incredible machine of rationality and logic.

    (hahahaha) J'suis pas loin du nazisme avec ça. Adoucissons-nous.

    A beautiful baby is a dead baby in a politically incorrect farce.
