[QUOTE="Ed, post: 769834, member: 548"] The other thing is, what is Britishness? You can never really nail it. A lot of what is deemed Britishness, Pimms, Wimbledon, G and T's, Ascot etc has fuck all meaning for a working class raised bloke from Warrington. Churchillian spirit I get. A strong sense of Justice I get. A pioneering spirit to go to other countries and bring good stuff back I get. Pick up the daily mail (wearing rubber gloves please) and read the poison the write about immigrants, about middle England, about private education. To the million plus readers a day that's what it is to be 'British'. To me a lot of it is destructive, selfish, isolationist, racist, classist..... I could go on. That's my problem with it, it means different things to different people. And you have to know exactly what you mean, otherwise the BNP or the Mail are telling you what it is, and then it's no longer what you wanted it to be or thought it was. Right, am now very late for work! Good thread though Chezzer, as ever. [/QUOTE]
