Who runs the UK's what? Can you clarify your question? If you are asking simply who runs the United Kingdom, the UK as a whole is presided over by the central British Government in London. The British Government also has complete control over England. Over the past 10 years, Wales and Scotland have had their own devolved Governments that enable them to control their own affairs to an extent, though they are not fully self-governing. Scotland has autonomy over all it's own affairs except social security, foreign affairs and defence, as well as having it's own legal and justice system. Wales has autonomy over it's annual budget, as well as over health, education and transport policy, though it doesn't have the same level of self-Government that Scotland has, and is subject to English law in major areas of governance (though not in minor ones). Northern Ireland has slightly greater autonomy than Wales, though not anything like as much as Scotland. The Isle of Mann and the Channel Islands are completely self-governing, though despite their claims that they are not a part of the UK, they are ultimately answerable to the British government over all really important matters. There have been proposals over the last few years to introduce regional self-government to England, although most English people oppose this idea, with only the North East region having a majority of people in favour of it. Cornwall used to be an independent nation in Saxon times, and although today it's classed as an English county, it's people are Celtic rather than Anglo-Saxon, and have a sense of identity that sets them aside from being just another English 'region'. There is a Cornish national flag, the old Cornish language (closely related to Welsh) is being revived, and there is a Cornish Language Board to encourage this. There is also a Cornish Nationalist Party, that seeks to win devolution of Cornwall. Of all the nations within the UK, Wales is the one that remains most closely shackled to England, though this is changing year by year. Wales is also the most culturally independent of all the Celtic nations- it is fully bilingual, and unlike Scotland, most of it's cultural life is indiginously Celtic, as oppose to just being a corrupted version of English traditions. It is also the only Celtic nation within the UK to have it's own TV station. Due to antipathy towards Wales within the British national media though, Welsh affairs are very rarely mentioned by the BBC or in the major newspapers.
