United Kingdom of?

While the country discusses changing the National Anthem, why not go for a full re-brand of this green and pleasant land.  I put my hands up, and admit to aiding in this national institution, but why do local councils allow major supermarket chains to destroy local shopping centres, how many local markets must fall by the wayside before something is done!  Don't get me wrong I'm not for the wholesale destruction of the Supermarket, but during war, shouldn't innocent civilians be protected under some international law.  Take poor Long Eaton (Derbyshire), having established a large Asda superstore, on the outskirts of town, Tesco, in a strategic manoeuvre, builds one of Europe's largest superstores next door.  Long Eaton used to have a thriving shopping centre with a large well established Market.
Mind you with the cost of rent and additional tax for retailers it is really helping the short term rent retailers, the charity shop.
