My point is thought, that you are failing to grasp (going to use super glue in a minute), is that YOU as a terribly proud Englishman, are British.
You don't have to call yourself it, you don't even have to like it (very unpatriotic BTW, HRH would be upset), but you are, FACT, PERIOD!

Many people come to London as it's iconic. People often think of London when they think of Britain and obviously many people will want to go there.
You met one Australian in one city, albeit the main one and suddenly you're using that to convey the entire picture of Britain?
You say you worked in housing? So? Where exactly did you work? Have you worked in all the major cities and towns throughout the country?
Or are you just using your experiences to generalise entire ethnic groups?edit on 14/6/12 by Kram09 because: (no reason given)

Call it retribution for over three hundred years of British colonisation.

Don't worry, I'll take your insults, they mean nothing to me and they do not dent my pride at being English only.

eh theres really nothing wrong with him not calling himself British. Mind you the origin of the word stems from a long gone Celtic people (Pritani,) from ancient times so if we wanted to be super technical then it would make more sense for him to just indemnify himself as English.
Ultimately he can call himself susan if he wants. who cares.
counted 6 white people in the entire place…think we might have an immigration problem!

But in closing I feel this is a massive global issue, that seems real ass backwards, since the west is so demonized around the world yet, no other place sees this amount of people yearly trying to make there way to our shores. Even though they so thouroughly disregard our way of life, and the customs that we hold dear.
I would go as far as saying its a failure but the system needs an overhaul to reflect the damage over rampent immigration has caused to nearly every country that has suffered from the influx.

Personally I think CityBig is actually French, and he is winding us all up, I can picture him now, laptop on his knee, baguette in one hand, wine in the other, laughing at us Eengleesh kniggets.
Does he seem French to any of you?
Jutador, jutawindow, I don't care.

So? We should never apologise for our history. We did what was right at the time, too bad if some had to suffer.
Typical British response.... You folks may have chosen to forget the millions who died as a direct result of the Empire's actions but some of us will never forget.
...as I said before; karma's a bitch so get used to it.
