So I guess Scotland became independent then. Good news for patriotic Scots, like me. Or are you one of those (many) Americans who think England IS the UK? Satire only works if you get the facts right. Stereotyping never works at all, y'all.
No, we Americans don't think England and the UK are the same. The UK split up (indeed with Scotland finally independent) in the story's imaginary future. Also since world politics centers on football and England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland compete as separate national football teams, I use England to refer just to England.
Great story!
Thanks Oleg! Hope it made you laugh.
I thought your depiction of the Viscount was a bit stereotyped, which let the piece down. That's all
Ah, I see. Well, there's always the next story.
Yeah, but the Viscount?!
I don't follow. What about the Viscount?
