The more some unelected beurocrat (sic) tries to tell me we are all Europeans now, the more British I feel.............

We have a cracking flag. The Union flag/jack (whatever you want to call it) is iconic and much nicer than most other country's.

I have a Scottish friend, married to a Filipina and she has a Union Jack on her phone.

You can British and European. It's like being Scottish AND British. The two are not mutually exclusive.

If you're English you probably not only have a dash of Viking but Saxon and pre-Roman native Briton.

If you're Scottish you probably have Irish, native Briton and perhaps even some English depending on where you're from.

Most people with white British blood will have a link to the people who were in the Isles before Stonehenge was built. More native than the Maoris, the Turks and the Arabs in Egypt.

The Mrs loves all things British more than I do and she's Kazakh!

And now the Daily mail tells us that Ralph Miliband "hated Britain" because he was suspicious of

1. The Church of England

and

2. English Public Schools

Go figure

Selling more copies does not necessarily equate to representing views...
