You are mistaken

Just noticed this, which articulates her unBritishness quite nicely, I think:

Nail on head. Been thinking the same thing for decades. She was no patriot. She admired the individual dog eat dog way and not the then British sense of community and fair play. She didn't really get us. A few million Brits put her on a pedestal which is simply baffling if you take the unions and Falklands out of the equation and unmask her as she really was. An iniquitous marketeer and a malignant vandal.

She divided us and, for a while, conquered us. Hopefully, her awful legacies - Chavdom , homelessness, crime rates, traffic pollution, love of money at the expense of many, big business having too much influence on Government policy, dumbing down, unemployment and desolation - will be radically reversed. Won't be any time soon though.

I envy the Scots for having the ultimate get-out clause, but dread them making the only rational decision. Can you extend the border south to the Humber, then I can move back home to Durham and be independent, too?

I'm willing to bet a 1000 pounds neither Pinky or Mc Kermit move to an Independent Scotland


Too cold.

But the worst types of patriots are the people who voluntarily cross an ocean and go to an entirely different continent yet still profess how proud they are to be English when they are nothing of the sort and don't want to come back , don't you think?
Me? Quite happy to visit the rainy mothercountry a few times a year but have the pleasant climate of the SW the rest of e time.


Have to be very careful how I answer that one. The English Channel is not an ocean and Macedonia is on the same continent, but I dont feel a 'bad' patriot. I am still very pro British (not just English, honest). So I am sure others who have travelled further afield can claim the same. Being away also gives you a different prespective on patriotism and Britishness, as well as seeing how we are viewed by others.

I travelled 1000 miles to find a better job and, 18 years later, I dont regret it!


Dave - my post wasn't directed at any of our overseas posters bar the one for whom the cap has a nice, tight snug fit.

It's not very good for your spelling/typing skills though. You move away and your grasp of English disappears it would seem.

So you aren't a unionist then and my point stands.

I am having a long mulling over. I can neither confirm nor deny your assertion at the moment. I may be one or I may not.

Wow......I never reckoned you for a Liberal Democrat Kermy.

Yeah, I reckon that's a nailed on certainty.

I'm sure you have books to mark!

My next post will be in cyrillic, to avoid any misunderstandings.

 


Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

(so HoL doesnt support cyrillic script...just makes it even harder to decipher. Pick the spelling mistakes out of that one!)
