How kind of you.  Actually, we're quite familiar with it.

And the flag is NOT the Union Jack - that is the small mast on a warship
used to fly it.  It's properly known as the Union Flag.  Americans also
continue to insult us by occasionally flying it the wrong way up.

The Act of Union is under more pressure today (Thursday, 3 May, 2007) than
at any time in the previous century.

The unprovoked attack on Iraq is a major issue.  Although I share the
Scots' view that we were dragged into it without our permission, the Scots
)unlike me) have the chance today to do something about it at the ballot
box.
