No you have that totally wrong.
Wales has never been an independent sovereign country........ever............oops, didn't know that did you??
Major f**k up on your part not even knowing the basics of the historical situation you are trying to use against us.
Scotland chose to join the Union.......... In fact, it invented the Union. It was a Scottish construct.....
The Union is the longest lasting , most successful and most peaceful union of countries in the history of the world and is unique in preserving the cultural identities of it's component parts.
I can fully understand why yu are so jealous!!!!
