        We celebrate #IndependenceDay but not #equality. Southern states never ratified the #EqualRightsAmendment! One more State is needed to make the #ERA a #ConstitutionAmendment. Our mothers, wives & daughters deserve #equality. Ratify #ERA! Now that's "badass" @neiltyson! #ERANowpic.twitter.com/GFSLi2DY91

        It was called the British Empire at that time if you want to get technical! Does it REALLY matter?

        Yes. England and Britain are VERY different things. As a non-English Brit, let me assure you of that.

        Might I make a suggestion before you further publicly display your ignorance, read up on UK law regarding the ownership of guns and knives.
