'The idea of “British” implies a false sense of unity – many Scots, Welsh and Irish resist being called British and the land denoted by the term contains a wide variety of cultures, languages and religions.’

Funny, I would say that since the vast majority of Scots, Welsh, Irish and some good chunks of the English are all from the same Iberian ice age stock, this "wide variety of cultures, languages and religions" has instilled a false sense of difference.
