    Wales’ status is somewhere between Scotland (with its own legal system, school curriculum and NHS) and Cornwall (a part of England which was once a distinct celtic nation). It was conquered by the English rather than its ruling elites being convinced to voluntarily unite, so was governed as if it was essentially a corner of England where some of the locals speak a funny language (which the authorities tried to cane out of them in schools). Now it has a parliament-like assembly, though without the legislative power of the Scottish one, and Welsh is officially used on signage throughout Wales (alongside English).

      Quiet, last thing we want to do is draw attention to ourselves. If they leave us alone we can get on with things

    Shouldn’t the diagonal white stripes also be included on the English flag, as it’s just a red cross on a solid white background?
