The BBC got into deep shit about calling bad stuff British and good stuff English which culminated in the recent riots having to be truely reported as Riots in England as opposed to Britain. It really gets my blood boiling that England is considered to be Britain.
Here we go again, in here. Agincourt was an English war with France. WW 2 had Scottish Welsh and Northern Irish troops in there too as well as from New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, India, Canada and a load of other British Commonwealth countries, not just England.
When I was at school, in Scotland, we were taught English history, which disgusted many of us. Scotland was only mentioned when we were fighting the English, normally in alliances with the French. We just did not get any Scottish history at all.
