There seems to be a certain amount of confusion about the differences between England, Wales, Scotland, Great Britain and the United Kingdom – and not just among us lot. Great Britain is the biggest island of the British Isles, and therefore consists of the countries of England, Wales and Scotland. The United Kingdom consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (but NOT the Republic of Ireland). Note that David Cameron is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and not just England.
