Addendum: a quick catch-up lesson ....

Based upon the dismal education that most people in the United Kingdom receive about what the United Kingdom is, and what it isn't, and the total lack of comprehension about what the Crown is, and what it isn't, and our constant references to the Republic of Ireland, we found a video lesson made some time ago, before the UK decided that it would leave the European Union, that will explain it all.

So, keeping in mind that it was made before Brexit, here is a geopolitical lesson for everyone who fell asleep in boring geography and civics brainwashing during those sleep-inducing propaganda pulpit lessons that were no doubt delivered by an idiot who wasn't a teacher because that person did not understand what they were mouthing.

We had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of this video, but its makers get top marks from us in just about every way imaginable, and those are compliments for its information, and the rocket-speed in which it is delivered.

​It should please all you adults who were once kids with ants-in-their-pants, and could not sit still for more than a minute or two.

Now pay attention, it will be over before you have time to yawn ...
