A campaign to rescue the 92 traditional UK counties. Three aims: one type of county, align lieutenancy areas to the counties, no more confusing names.

In relation to: Real Counties | UK Geography @RealCounties always disappointing to see people block our geography, heritage and conservation account... like@KatePhillips29! But we are "blocked" by @RealCounties Nothing like a bit of hypocrisy.... Who are these people?

So why the map then? Belfast didn't appear to be referenced to any county on a quick search. We must be sure the reference is the county one.

Re recent press coverage, at 11.33 gbnews.com/shows/sunday-with… Pam says: I'm still unhappy as the Government sent agents round, to FORCE us all to 'give up our traditional county'. Using only the new name, and later telling everyone that the new county names have always existed.

Why no one mentions this? NO mention of previous counties-or their destruction, totally against public will! NO mention of local gov changes, OR 'admin only'! Just permanent destruction of our beloved counties - from MPs/Lords. Flags no good, what do people think they mean?? Pam

British Counties Campaign retweeted
Councils should have nothing to do with counties. They should not pretend to be counties. We need to break this idea in people's minds. There is absolutely ZERO chance of Bristol south of the Avon being split from the rest of it and joined to a 'Somerset council'.

It’s amazing how they kept only one county by name, Yorkshire, and literally invented another, Humberside, but dissolved every other county. And I had the privilege of studying at Humberside Poly.
