Oh, do go on with the lesson, Mr. Mullen.

No doubt you are about to tell us something like:

"Britain is a monarchy in northwestern Europe occupying most
of the British Isles; divided into England and Scotland and
Wales and Northern Ireland."

Seems, though that the government is in England, is it not? I could as well
have said "London", since London is the seat of government, the home of the
royal family and is at the heart of British business and financial life, and
was so, I suppose, since well before 1776.

Such a pity that "Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland" were never quite
able to get out from underneath, too.
