My dad he'd prefer British imperialists over French imperialists any day. Granted, we're Vietnamese, and granted, that's not saying much, but hey.
Hmm. I do have to say I like monocles, is that British enough? And, like, there's a few nice-looking British gals here and there?

I think not liking the evil Chinese Empire is one thing the commies back in 'Nam and the anti-communist Vietnamese diaspora can agree on. Actually, it's one of the few cases in which the latter will cheer on the former, no strings attached.

The British are just Vikings that pretend to be French.

Still better than the French.
"Anyone but the French and Chinese."
(Maybe slightly closer to the French for a very small few.)
Granted, the Japanese occupation was no fun at all, but 1) the French occupied way longer, and 2) for most Vietnamese, 99.9999999999999% of their pre-Colonial history is about fighting against the evil dastardly Chinese (so at least a couple millennia, give or take a few).

"Lesser Ireland" (Scotia Minor) is actually one of the historical names of Scotland, so there's certainly precedent.
There's a weird arrangement by which legally, they're feudal dependencies of the crown, and practically, they're administered as overseas territories like Gibraltar et al. It's all a bit bizarre and medieval and seems to exist largely for the purpose of letting people avoid paying taxes.
The Republic maintained its sovereignty over the Six Counties until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. They've never formally retracted the claim, but the constitution as re-written as something ambiguous that allows for the possibility of reunification without actively demanding it.

The French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Catalan... We use the French (translation) name.
Since occupying the street is not getting any response, some protesters change their strategy and occupy the road in front of UK embassy instead.
While it may not bring any change to current situation, at least more useful than protesting to Beijing.

Looks like another job for Super-Cameron.
