    No. Trump did not get it wrong ...

    The Press will try anything to prove he's an idiot.

    The Country WAS known as England before Wales
    and Ireland (partial) were absorbed which then
    formed Britain.
    With the union of Scotland under Queen Anne's
    reign, it became Great Britain.
    United Kingdom is merely another name for
    Great Britain which is comprised of England,
    Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
    I wonder how many people presently living there
    know this history ? Judging by the report in the
    Dly Mail, probably not many.

    Are you certain? GB was always the mainland 3 while the term UK included N. I.

    Let's not go back too far. There was Briton at one time along with Engla Land. Doesn't matter though as I think Britannia is kinda cute.

      Why should Pakis, Indians, Syrians, Nigerians, etc., know or care about that history? You think the Turd Worlders invading this country are interested in the likes of Washington, Jefferson, etc?

          Thank you Tog. You've inflated my ego again. Just enough that my hat hurts.

          You're right CH. They don't care because they were occupied as part of the empire. Merely protectorates and/or financial holdings with little interest in the realm of colonization. British history was never part of their own except for the years they served under British boots and muskets. Even India (Which is now about half as large as it once was) was never considered a Commonwealth loyal to the crown. The King was their Emperor by title, but only after the privatized puppet government failed.

            So what do they do when the British boots & muskets are removed? They flock to the land of their "oppressors"!
