This is also why the pointy-heads are so keen to redraw the maps. They want to do away with the so-called "ceremonial" counties of ancient memory (e.g. Kent and Yorkshire) in favor of mushy "regions" that have no hold of tradition or identity on the inhabitants.
They haven't yet succeeded in England, though a few minor counties such as Rutland have been eliminated. The process is well under way in France, where such illustrious provinces as Perche and Gascony have simply been wiped off the map.

Europeans are slowly destroying themselves.
Jacobins were members of France’s Revolutionaries, who ruled during the Reign of Terror. Their dream of spreading the revolutionary ideas across Europe at all costs is reborn in the European Union.
Thanks to the visionary leaders (Henry Cabot Lodge) in the US Senate at that time, the Republic was spared that globalist institution.
Hello again mate. This story has been 100% denied by the Brit government. This is the same government demanding that new immigrants speak English before being allowed entrance and who are implementing an Australian-based points system for immigrants. Your US government could learn alot from this
Britain is going nowhere.
Hi mate.
Not sure what you mean by the story is denied.
Are you saying that the EU never recommened the change in passports?
Yeah, sorry I should have clarified. A BBC news interviewer asked the UK Home Secretary if UK passports were to be changed. She said no.
The EU may well be looking bureaucratically at these sorts of issues. But the British people are the most Euro-sceptic in Europe. I very much doubt a change will happen.
Err...you’re a little out of date. Rutland has come roaring back onto the maps and the county list. http://www.rutnet.co.uk/
who needs a sovereign when you are no longer a sovereign nation???
Oh, right you are. I was thinking of Huntingdonshire, which is now part of Cambridgeshire, as best I can tell from this side of the pond.

Good to hear for my ancestral homeland!! If you bring in high quality 'cream of the crop' immigrants many people will actually be supportive of reasonable levels of immigration. Bring in masses of low quality on average migrants and the population will naturally turn against all immigration.
You can actually strengthen a nation on average if the average immigrant coming in is more intelligent, younger, healthier, better educated, then the average citizen.
why have any sovereign other than the people?
