Furunculus is under a childish belief that what is now has always been. He deems himself British by nationality, which is already kind of supra-national identity as he really is English, which may or may not be forced onto him after the Scottish referendum, also ignoring that Great Britain came into existence a few centuries ago. Prior to that, the the Saxon and Norman melting pot created the English nation, which also didn't exist.

He's clinging to the status quo which may well prove to be extremely short, history-wise.
