Please, can Anthony Butcher define what exactly "Anthony Butcher" is, and what purpose he has in trying to prove there is no culture?.. If Society exists, it has a culture that will automatically distinguish it from another society, whether by language, religion or system of government, etc.

Like language, culture (of which language is a part) cannot be simply defined as a "thing", more the sum total of a collection of "things". That does not mean that language does not exist because it appears to some blinded individuals that it cannot be easily explained.

People are the sum total of a collection of "things"; DNA, atoms, whatever. I would like Anthony Butcher to explain why he (it) is 'different' enough to warrant having a distinct identity called "Anthony Butcher", and exactly how he (it) is different, from say, Mao Tse Tung? Whilst explaining how "Anthony Butcher" is different, distinct or unique to Mao Tse Tung, Anthony Butcher will inadvertantly be explaining what culture is, as culture is the sum total of the interactivity between any given set of distinct individuals. If Anthony Butcher refuses to or cannot explain how he is different, unique or distinct from Mao Tse Tung, he will then have classified himself as "non-entity" or "nobody", thus proving his non-existence.

If after all this, you still insist on refusing to except any definition of "culture", I would ask what on earth is your purpose in trying to defend aspects of "British culture" from that of the EU model of a continental culture to which the EU's aim is the subjugation of national cultures within that of a continental identity (presuming you are involved in UKIP for that purpose??). As the Danes said in their 1992 anti- Mastricht vote: "we want a country to be European in!".

Any further nonsense of this nature and I would have to refuse that Anthony Butcher exists, and what purports to be "Anthony Butcher" is in fact a figment of some mad scientists imagination for the purpose of spreading mayhem and division amongst those trying to define why Britain and its people have a right to exist.
