This has confused me for quit a while, since I posted a comment in an old thread-it was about the Scottish referendum

In this comment I wrote England and was corrected "British thank you" followed with a "

"

I was like !!??!! and I'll tell you why

Only a few days earlier I saw a political commentator on Danish TV saying
(First in Danish)

Cameron har lovet de engelske vælgere at de skal til afstemning om EU inden 2017.

In English
Cameron have promised the English voters there will be a referendum about EU before 2017.

And some minutes ago I saw another member writing England should build a wall in the Brexit-thread.

So you now you know why I'm confused
