British, really.
Although Scotland has had perhaps different adaptations, perhaps; it has always been a very intrinsic part of Britain, since early times, to keep the great unwashed poor at the expense of the elite.
Protection, and it still exists, even though the class/caste system has largely been broken down the very rich and powerful still want to keep a firm hold of large tracts of land and wealth - this largely does explain how and why those of us outside never really "get it", in many respects.
I know I don't, and I have gone to lengths to learn about these things, but protection of the wealth has always been a cornerstone of the United Kingdom in some way, shape or form- and war, governance and governmentality, too.
These are intrinsic and were put there for good reason.... whether these things are still fit for purpose in socialist 2018 is open to debate!
I actually originally wrote British . . .
but then, it seemed to me that all the power & money & land in Britain somehow is controlled by the English anyway . . .
