Little England

Sorry for long gap - actually, for a few weeks I forgot that I had started a blog!
Prompted to return when listening to the Today programme this morning. Sarah Montague was interviewing the French finance minister Christine Lagarde on the story of Tory policy (if you can call it that) in relation to Lisbon and EU membership. At least three times Mme Lagarde referred not to the UK but to 'England', and on one occasion to 'the Kingdom of England'. Dozy Montague made no attempt to challenge or correct her. What in hell is going on here? Is this pure ignorance or incompetence, or is there a hidden plan to enthrone King David of England and let the rest of us find our own way in the world? There might be something to be said for that, says my Welsh side, but my English side quivers in terror....
