Some interesting points are brought to the fore – like the fact that the UK is still, essentially, a theocracy – but more importantly for visitors to these fair isles it unpicks the knots between the English, Scots, Welsh and Irish (both Northern and Republic of, as it were) and has some funny points to make on the way.
