"center(ed)" around
I don't suppose there can be a ban on the phrase "center(ed)" around. Not only is it ungrammatical, it is geometrically impossible. ((Surely the thing it is around would be the center! AlanE 02:09, 25 May 2007 (EDT)
Religion
23-OCT-2007 - It has to be said your section on Religion leaves a lot to be desired. For a start Religion plays very little part of the daily life of the English; and It has to be noted most of the English are not practising anything and are in fact rather hostile to organised religions, though not the individuals who practise. To state anything otherwise is a plain untruth no matter what you would like to believe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by AJCG (talk)
- You are free to improve the article, although I'm not sure that I totally agree with your assessment of the situation. Philip J. Rayment 22:27, 23 October 2007 (EDT)
History
I hope I'm not nitpicking, but Henry VII is one of our best-known kings. The Wars of the Roses are a key part of the history curriculum in state schools, I believe - and every child knows how to remember the colours of the rainbow: Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain. I won't change this myself, but would welcome others' viewpoint.Sophierabbitte 12:36, 10 January 2011 (EST)
Socialism?
Why is this in the intro? Give examples! We have a conservative government for Pete's sake who don't give a hoot about the poor!
