signed* and it finally became what we know today as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1921 when the English partitioned Ireland.
So for me, when someone says 'British' or 'Britain', do they actually mean 'English' and 'England'? Since Brexit, thanks to an English Nationalist Government (Tory) Britain and British has become a synonym of Englishness.
Did that survey cover the whole of the UK or did they just ask people who lived in England? If it was UK wide
