Grow up you silly little boy, before whoever looks after you takes your internet connection away from you. Ooh, did I hit a nerve rich boy? HAHAHAHA! Who's gonna take my internet connection away? The FBI? The CIA? Daddy the Judge? You? HEHE what a clown! By the way Mr anonymous no details, don't call me a silly little boy unless you're prepared to do it to my face like a man, I'm more than happy to set up a meet you in person and ‘discuss’ your opinion of me, if you’ve got the balls, which I very much doubt. You've got a damn big mouth Sado, but that's easy when you live in multicultural Bath away from the real world and all the nasty types and you hide behind anonymity! Gutless Coward! I’ve also got a big mouth, but at least anyone can find a picture of my face with one click of the mouse and all they need to know about me, because I’ve filled out the details section unlike you! If you’re gonna come on here and try and impose your vile and twisted views, at least have the courage of your convictions and fill out your details so we can all see who you really are. Silly little rich boy! Aren't you getting your stereotypes a bit muddled? If I'm a little rich boy, then I should be extreme right wing like you, shouldn't I? I'm interested that you've got a new definition of bravery to add to your other one. So to recap - to be brave is to, a) want other people to drop bombs on innocent people, and, b) post your picture on the internet. Well done - you're very brave big man! As for your threats - as I said before, why don't you grow up. You are just making yourself look even sillier.

I think that a multi-cultural England means there isn't one culture or perspective I could point to and say that was conclusively "English". I think that it has a massive variety of cultures rather than an individual "native culture". I have the greatest of respect for the mutltitude of cultures that make up England today on the other hand. I also don't happen to want to die defending anything. Therefore I don't fit into your second category either. Do I define myself as English? Probably yes. I also count myself as British as well. And a Londoner on top of that. Do my parents have to have been born in London and/or me be born in London to be able to count myself as a Londoner? My girlfriend's cousin has lived in England since he was six months old. He was born in Cyprus. His parents were born in Cyprus. He counts himself as entirely English. He loves England and follows a variety of the sporting teams around the country. Yet by your definition he can't be English.
I find it strange that you wouldn't take up arms against, let's say a newly risen nazi superpower poised to invade Britain, but that's your choice, you'd probably be shot as a traitor (or conscientious objector) in that situation, but again, that's your choice. We're talking nationality here, so your point here is off the mark.

I also respect other cultures and it's for that reason I want to preserve each and every one, I've said it before, I don't ever want to see a mish mash of cultures all mixed into one, the different cultures all preserved working together is a good thing, it's what makes life's experience rich, but it's a fact that this still is England and it still does have a native English identity and culture, yes, other cultures add to it and enrich it, but they do not replace or diminish it. I find it strange that you wouldn't take up arms against, let's say a newly risen nazi superpower poised to invade Britain, but that's your choice, you'd probably be shot as a traitor (or conscientious objector) in that situation, but again, that's your choice. We're talking nationality here, so your point here is off the mark.
Anyway I think that I probably would take arms against something like a new nazi superpower. But I don't know. Fortunately I am unlikely to ever have to face that dilema. But that doesn't mean I would fight to defend England in every circumstance. Tony Blair says a war with Iraq would be to defend Britain (and therefore I assume England as well). I personally disagree and so wouldn't want to take part. Basically I am saying I would fight someone for something I believed in. Not something that a politician or anybody else told me I should. Obviously I didn't explain my "Englishness is a state of mind" theory very well because we seem to have reached an agreement that it can be achieved through criteria other than birth. It's nice to reach some agreement anyway! As for the cultures, well I suppose we'll have to leave it at that. I don't know whether I agree with an existing english native culture because I think it has been diluted consistently for too long, but you're entitled to believe it is still there. And it may well be easier to see somewhere like Gt Yarmouth than it would be in London (I don't know what the ethnic makeup of Gt Yarmouth is, but I guess it isn't quite the same as London!)

My anger has been fuelled by your superior arrogant attitude, in my opinion, your views stink, but your attitude is worse! Slugs, yeah ok mate, I know Bath has some rough areas, I've got a couple of mates that live there actually, although I suspect that GAO don't live in any of them, but I take your point. My aim was to throw back some of the pre-conceived stereotypical attitude he was aiming at me and the people supporting my argument.

Now this point really got me thinking and I must say it's a good point and it has me in a quandary. My brother-in-law (Pat) is Irish, born there, moved to London at the age of two, his parents are both Irish who have since returned to Ireland. Pat is as English as me though, he considers himself English, he supports England over Ireland in any sporting event. This really caught me off guard and I acknowledge a good point. I dunno, maybe my criteria was a little tough, but having said that, Pat loves England, it's been his home for 43 years, he'd certainly defend her, but he weren't born here, you could say that he has duel nationality, either way, he's English. So I will admit that I need to go back to the drawing board on that one, but that's fine, I don't pretend to have all the answers and I'm man enough to admit it and open minded enough to take it on board. PS I just re-read the post. Like the duel-dual bit!

Yeah another good post, it seems we may be reaching some common ground here. I also didn't explain myself properly when I said 'be prepared to die for England', what I meant was 'be prepared to help fight off a military invasion'. My perspective is almost certainly polluted because though I haven't always lived in London, I have always lived in cities or fairly large towns (Coventry, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Blackpool, Luton, Croydon, and London ... and counting with York while I was at Uni as well) and though maybe York might have something approaching the attitude and outlook that I guess Great Yarmouth would, nowhere else really would. And I actually thought you meant the duel joke! I thought you meant he had duel nationality because he was willing to fight for England! You should have kept quiet!

I am being deadly serious. Why not make them do a type of National Service? if not that why not make them work in areas that are understaffed eg. Hospitals etc. Make them earn there benefits. I think that a lot of bogus people come to this country thinking that it is a free ride, by introducing a National Service it would reduce the amount of these people.

Asylum seekers actually have a far harder time of it here, and get far less benefits, than in most other European countries... and yet they still think it's a free ride here. Why would national service change that? Or do you just want to have an excuse to send them all to Iraq...?
