It does amaze me sometimes how eager Britain is to "regulate" behavior.

Actually, no. England does not have it's own government. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (usually known as 'Britain') does, but it also includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This is not actually an issue of semantics.

You're right. It's pedantic.

How dare I sully the good name of the Kingdom by not referring to the tentacles that grip onto more than just English souls. I shall hang my head in shame, join the French, and watch Blackadder.

Yah, I had heard once of people calling police there because a mom was breastfeeding her child in a park and iirc police came and told the mom to stop.

No, it isn't that either. Wales is not England. Scotland is not England. Northern Ireland is not England.

They wish to fit with the Quebecois stereotype of being strict frowny squareheads.

Care to reevaluate who missed the point?
