I remember growing up in the 80s and what that was to this day people I know personally directly involved have complex thoughts in the mess.
On the topic of the geographical status of the island I don’t know close enough to anything to have an opinion so am intentionally chasing my words carefully.

No worries, I’m not trying to trick you, you of course are right, it’s complicated.
Back to the original topic, what really gets me is shows like Rings of Power double down on Tolkien classism by accent - intelligent elegant Elf’s in posh English, common men in northern English, rough ginger dwarfs in Scottish and then bottom of the class - mud dwelling, starving savage hobbits with Irish accents

Yeh it does get old. I try to take solis that when Holywood needs a bastard or a villain it’s usually that posh English twat.
It would be nice if they mixed it up or made the accents fairly agnostic
