All the best English blood left England long ago for America. Those that stayed were meant to be subjects, not free men. I would be embarrassed to call myself British. They deserve nothing but scorn and contempt.
The British aren’t subjects. Myth. Not since 1948-49.
I am proud to be British. Yes, we have problems, yes, we are sometimes stupid. But who isn’t?. But I am proud to be part of a race that has built the modern world then saved it, and given so much to humanity, be he Scots, English, Irish or Welsh.
Britain deserves criticism when wrong, but not contempt. In fact the world should show us more gratitude.
