Italy will be 150 next year and there will be a party or two. Italians like to celebrate.
I wonder how many people would answer correctly how old the United Kingdom is? In fact the Act of Settlement came into force on 1st January 1801, so the UK will be 210 tomorrow.
The reason we didn't have a party in 2001 was that Tony Blair had, with his devolution legislation, presided over the start of the break-up of the nation and he was embarrassed.
