It is quite amazing that a small island has had so much of an influence on the world.

It is such a shame that people now equate patriotism with vile organisations like the BNP. Patriotism isn't xenophobia.

Being English is about humour, tolerance, fortitude, stoicism, adventurousness, fairness and getting things done.

And the people,

Winston Churchill, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Charles Darwin, Dickens, William Shakespeare, Sir Isaac Newton, Horatio Nelson, Bernard Montgomery, John Churchill, James Cook, William Wilberforce - I could write this list all day (I hope they are all English - Still I embrace the UK to include any of these)

That's his opinion but I completely disagree. I'm hugely proud to be English.

Re: Thought this would of been done by now
 

Yeah .

Re: Thought this would of been done by now
 

I still say it was not the dragons fault! All those maidens poking around and waking them up..... No wonder they got bloody eaten!

Re: Thought this would of been done by now
 

This is true but I would tend to think more about the bad things such as slavery and empire .

Re: Thought this would of been done by now
 

And who abolished slavery?

Re: Thought this would of been done by now
 

so that makes the UK's part in it all right then ?

Re: Thought this would of been done by now
 

Thats a moronic comment. Slavery had been around since the ancient Egyptians - Used by Romans, any large country/civilisation was involved for over thousands of years - Some are still enslaving now...............

Britain stopped slavery as a wholesale business and then made sure it didn't return, so instead of being proud that we stopped it you think about the part played. Strange way of thinking.................
