^ Unless things have changed since my day, I'm embarrassed to say that a lot of school-children in England don't make much distinction either. In fairness, it can be confusing, what with the English language, the UK, Great Britain and the British Isles.

Boris Johnson has also undercut one of his own arguments. He was proudly championing the people, claiming to honour their democratic choice in the Referendum, but by closing Parliament for a month to freeze out any discussion, his credentials of defending democracy now look pretty weak. One thing I keep expecting to hear from the Remainers is that someone hits on my own analogy for the whole "We must respect the referendum" argument. It goes like this: Saying you wanted Brexit in the referendum was like going into a shoeshop and saying you want a pair of shoes. When that happens, if all the shoes turn out to be too expensive, you can walk out without buying anything. With Brexit, though, Boris Johnson is blocking the door of the shop, saying "Three years ago you said you wanted some shoes so now you have to buy some regardless of how much they cost." IMO, that's not democracy, that's unfair trading practices.
