What is British ?

No one can really answer what each and every one of us perceives to be British. Whatever your point of view what makes us British is our right to express our opinions openly and genuinely !

We do however have no sense of pride in being the United Kingdom anymore. Yes there are more illegal immigrants over here now than ever before; I couldn't agree with you more; however much could be said for those Brits abroad that have emmigrated to a new life in a new country ; are they viewed the same way as immigrants illegal or not ?

I am part Scottish and part English and am still proud to say I am British .... peace uk

You have more than a valid point there Ernie ; and in point of fact I kinda agree with you ; there is plenty of problems; ( Immigration / Law & Order / NHS / Taxation etc etc that exist in this country that are definately unfair .

Therea a general election just around the corner my friend just let those that have made these problems know of your feelings; I sure as hell am going too.

Whatever or whoever gets in at the next election makes very little diffrence really; they will promise you the earth and deliver you sod all !!!!mumbling frustrated

It doesn't matter where you go, or what the nationality is, you always get bad apples.

Just seems us Brits, all seem to get tarred with the same brush as our bad apples roll eyes
