ha!
For anyone interested in the historical perspective this is a really interesting series on Youtube. Linda Colley, features in these and she is a brilliant historian (her book Britons: Forging the Nation, is one ofthe best accounts of how the union formed and the various tensions at its core - she also recently did a very good series on radio4 and an accompaying book called Acts of Union and Disunion. She's one of my favourite historians of Britishness and empire). Each chapter of this series is only around 15 mins. I'll just post the first three - as they're probably the most relevant to this current conversation, but I highly recommend the whole series. Part 1: Uniting the Kingdom Part 2: The Jacobite Threat Part 3: Becoming British
