I used to be proud to be British. When I read of Nelson "England expects...", the Empire, the abolition of slavery, Concorde (but TSR2 was better) etc.

But I am no longer proud to be British and I strike it from every form I have to fill out and replace it with "English". Being British means nothing, it could mean you come from Pakistan, India, Scotland, be a pagan, Muslim, Buddist, you don't even have to speak English.

No, don't call me British, call me English. It takes more than being born in England to know what that means.

I personally want out of the EU because it is the first step on the road back to Empire. That will raise a contemptuous smirk from many readers but it's only because our people and leaders lack ambition that we have got INTO phpbb_the sorry state we are in now.
