I can't get this to play but if it is the one that discusses the differences between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England I have seen it. It was kind of cool.

Generally accurate, too, although we don't all hate each other, some of us are more than happy to be British, and the Ireland/NI/Ulster thing really is far too complex to sum up like that.
But the main lesson is never call a Scot 'English'

What I liked was the explanation of the different categories of foreign possession (I include the Commonwealth even though not technically possessions any more) because I hadn't realized the still so many actual possession and dependancies left to the U.K.

It's a bit fast, but very concise.
With the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT, better known as Diego Garcia) and the Pitcairns being the easternmost and westernmost points, it's still the case that the sun never sets.
Of course, Diego Garcia is leased to the USA and the people there were evicted, and the Pitcairns are occupied by descendents of the Bounty Mutineers, so it's a bit less than Imperial.

That was pretty cool. Thanks.
I believe I called an Englishman a Scot in some dip several years ago. That didn't go over too well either.
