Why I hate Broadcasters treating Wales, Scotland & N. Ireland as foreign countries outside England

  • As I have said in the video, any UK broadcaster such as the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 or Sky or any other broadcaster or likewise any production company that makes programmes for any broadcaster, I get really annoyed with watching any kind of lifestyle or documentary programme or anything in the news where there's a story that involves somewhere in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland and instead of saying the place name - be it a village, town or city in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, rather than the voice-over or presenter saying that place name in Wales (say Carmarthen), Scotland (say Dunfermline) or Northern Ireland (say Ballymena), they just say maybe the county or region of Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland or they'll be even lazier and just say Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland instead.
    I don't know whether the presenter is simply can't pronounce the place name or is too scared to pronounce the place name outside of England but within the UK incorrectly and cause complaints or just either the presenter or production company just don't want to mention the place name because they consider it to be too foreign and they are biased towards England and want to make it seem that the place is in a foreign country which Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland are not foreign countries when compared to England!
    If it was say Peterborough in England, the voice-over or presenter would never just say England. They might on occasions say Cambridgeshire but they would never just say England.
    Therefore why does the voice-over or presenter have to generalize and just say Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland instead of saying the name of the village, town or city in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland? Or say the county or region the village, town or city in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland is in?
    I'll tell you why! Because UK broadcasters are all biased and treat anywhere outside England as foreign countries when we aren't!
    We all speak the same language and we all use the same currency and we all drive on the left and have the same broadcasters pretty much and have similar laws except the one that are devolved by the Northern Irish and Scottish Parliaments and Welsh assembly.
    Therefore any UK broadcaster or production company from now on, any TV or Radio programme where somewhere in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland gets a mention, I want to hear that Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish place name said and I do not want to hear just the county or region of Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland said or just Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland said.
    Please do something about this with immediate effect.
    Thank You,

    Yes it's me. I had a lovely time in North Wales watching Razorbills and Puffins and then headed to Mid Wales to feed Red Kites. I forget the name of the place

      Hi Bill, I presume this is the genuine Bill Oddie of The Goodies? If so, then it's a pleasure to receive a message from a broadcasting legend and personality and celebrity like yourself! I used to love The Goodies!
      As I am not a fluent Welsh speaker I don't watch S4C as I don't want to concentrate reading the English subtitles for the whole length of a programme, especially for an hour.
      I do watch BBC Wales News but when it comes to a networked show, I don't like it when English place names are said but instead of a presenter saying Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish place names, the presenter just says Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland instead as though we're foreigners to England.
