British things

Ok, rant coming up.

I'm not saying all of you, but some people are UNABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ENGLISH ACCENT AND ANY OTHER ACCENT IN BRITAIN.
So let's get one thing straight.
There is no such thing as a British accent.
No accent is called British
I'm serious
Because
(Not so) Great Britain has three countries in it. Scotland, England, Wales.
The United Kingdom has Great Britain + Northern Ireland because the rest of Ireland went independent.
So of course
(If we say all four countries are in Britain to keep it simple)
There are four countries in Britain. So you can't have a British accent, because each country has different accents.
So you might say Emma Watson, Benedict Cumberbatch or Tom Hiddleston have British accents. Wrong!
They have ENGLISH accents. Because they come from ENGLAND. Not just Britain, but a country in Britain. More specifically, very posh English accents that have become a stereotype.
Just like Andrew Scott has an Irish accent, Luke Evans has a Welsh accent, David Tennant and Billy Boyd have Scottish accents (which I'm really proud of because I'm Scottish btw)
So, the point I'm trying to make. English and British accents are not the same thing. You can only be British if you have nationalities from more than one British country. British accents don't exist. Sorry Americans (they're the ones who tend to make this mistake) but you usually have to be more specific than that because if you say "British" you could mean any one of four countries.
English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish accents exist, though.
There are even different types of English and Scottish accents. But anyway. I just had to explain this because IT REALLY ANNOYS ME. I don't even know why, it's just a pet hate of mine.

And another thing(mr Age of Enlightenment, don't lecture me about the war, you didn't fight in it😏)

THIS IS NOT THE ENGLISH FLAG.
EVEN GOOGLE THINKS IT IS BUT NO.
If you called it the British flag, you'd basically be right, but only because it's the Union Jack and it's the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. (Aka, Scotland,England, Northern Ireland, and Wales)

This is the saltire, the lovely flag of my home country. Fun fact: I am actually half English, a quarter Scottish and a quarter Irish, so I could call myself British, or even English,but no. My dad is Scottish, my mum is English, (the Irish comes from my grandparents) and I grew up in Scotland (I live in Holland now) so I call myself Scottish. And proud of it!

This is the Irish flag

Just some Other things about Britian while I'm on the subject. My whole family wanted Scottish independence so now we're annoyed. Especially because now it means we've been pulled into BREXIT.
Don't get me started on Brexit.
Apparently, a lot of People didn't think we would "actually" leave and were surprised when they saw the result. WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT. IF YOU DONT WANT IT, DONT VOTE FOR IT, WHETHER YOU THINK IT MIGHT HAPPEN OR NOT.
and now the old people who, no offence, are going to be dead when we actually leave, have decided our futures for us and us teenagers didn't even get a vote. There wasn't much thought put into it was there?
Basically British politics is going downhill and I wanted someone to be better than David Cameron, but I've heard bad stuff about Teresa May.

Sorry if you guys aren't actually interested in Britain or if you already knew this, but I really wanted to make this clear to some people. For all you Americans,let's pray we don't get Trump. I can't believe out of a country of millions of people, we got two of the worst to choose from. Just because they're rich. Well good for them but that money has better uses than being given to people who already have plenty. *sigh*

I'm sorry I sound like just a really angry person and politics nerd trust me I hate politics. It bores me to death. DONT HATE ME PLEASE I PROMISE IM USUALLY NOT LIKE THIS

See you guys next time byyyee!
