According to the Mail today Britannia is to be removed from all of our coinage from April after 300 years. No discussion, just imposed on us dictator-style!

Old news.

"Brown promotes Britishness but takes Britannia off coins after over 300 years"

Reminds me of the tile of a good book I read:

The Deculturalisation of the English People

The problem with folks like you Mr Hamilton is that, by reason of your prejudices, you reduce English nationalism to being another form of Conservatism, thereby excluding all those of different political persuasions!

Funny how nationalism in Scotland and Wales (and N Ireland) is regarded as being 'left of centre'! Here, because of Johnnies like you, who just can't put your partisan political beliefs to one side in a greater interest, it is portrayed as being 'right wing' and only one degree removed from being facist!

Shame really!
