Song titles

[edit]

Hi. Usually Wikipedia puts song titles in double quotes, rather than single. See the examples given at MOS:MINORWORK. Also, you have some song titles in Title Case, and some in Sentence Case. They should all probably be the same. Happy editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:50, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unused

[edit]

This diminished following the loss of its colonies after the war—which itself united the four areas of the UK (although in the case of the Irish, "more ambiguously"), until the possibility of entering the European Community created a perception that Britain could once again be a global power, albeit as a leading European nation rather than an imperial one.[1] Hence, suggests Bulmer-Thomas, why all four component states of the UK voted in support of Britain's successful application for EC membership in 1975. A then-leading British newspaper, The Sun said at the time, for example, that "after years of drift and failure, the Common Market offers an unrepeatable opportunity for a nation that lost an empire to gain a continent".[2] It was such contempt for foreigners—"other peoples"—argues Bulmer-Thomas, that Flanders and Swann were presenting, particularly their assimilation of the UK's non-English countries into foreigners, but for whom "the song reserved the greatest bigotry and prejudice".[2]
