In and ideal world, am I not the only person that would think Britain would function if there was simply just one country, not Wales, Scotland and England?
To maintain this I propose that all the English regions are devolved so that there is less of a nationalist (English,Scottish, Welsh) agenda behind it.

Considering Wales has a language of its own and has been fighting against England to keep their land, and Scotland doesn't really like England either..
I don't think it'd work, nor will ever happen.

Is that seriously your attitude?

No. No it's not.
But I see the famous Irish sense of humour is now restricted to the South...

If you had to live in a city continuously being disrupted by bomb scares you would probably be as fed up with the whole situation as I am.

Well then my original attitude wasn't too far off the mark.

Technically yes, but I couldn't count the amount of times a commentator for the olympics or world championships has called the team "GB" for short. "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is rather long winded for common use don't you think? Besides the point is, if England, Scotland and Wales were made into one country, what would happen to Northern Ireland?

If the three countries WERE to be put together (and all the fights have calmed down), NI would probably feel more excluded. If anything I'm sure they'd try to join NI in it too, possibly causing further grumbles from SI? I'm not too sure about how the situation over there stands currently to this day..

Because NI is part of the UK and not the British Isles. Would be a bit odd having this big-ass island as a country, then half of the next big-ass island also part of the country.

Couldn't they just say UK? I mean, isn't that just being a bit misleading and lazy for the commentator calling it GB?
