Exposing the LIE which equates STATE and NATION

LINK to Guardian Open Thread, which asks the following question:

. . if you could add one piece of legislation to the Queen's speech, what would it be and why?

One of my favourite truisms used to be (and still is): "There is no religion higher than the truth". And the same applies to the STATE.

Like most states, Britain is based on the assumed equivalence of STATE and NATION - which is a LIE.

As head of state and embodiment of this LIE, I would like the Queen to acknowledge it and instruct her ministers to do likewise. Then to order an inquiry and public debate with the aim of developing an understanding of this and its profound political implications.
