If there is, independence from what?

If there isn't, uhh, no National Day for the United Kingdom? No victory over some war with a big empire or something?

There was a debate in the Parliament a few years ago of actually make a national day. We did get day off for the Queens 50 years on the throne..

Plus Heero we are the one who gave every one Independence so we have to be slightly different,, Just ask Pope I sure he can elaborate on this...lol

The closiest to an independent day for us is may St Georges Day for the English, St Andrews day for the Scotish and so on..

Each day is an "un-independence" day for us, since we appreciate what the "great" in Great Britain really means. Ofcourse, the 4th of July is also dear to our hearts , since it's the day, a nation we nurtured and coddled, finally grew up and we let it stand on its own two feet ... sniff ...

All you need to do, is ask anyone who is catholic or protestant Irish, better yet, a catholic or protestant Scottish, or worst, someone who is catholic or protestant Welsh. There is plenty of them in QL.

Maybe the ancient Romans and Britons know the answer.

Maybe King Arthur coronation should be the official Independence day of the Brits.
