do you even consider yourself british anymore?

[brooksieb]

i used to feel i was british but till since whats been happening about all this multi-culturalism and people dont want to integrate into our culture and society i might as well not be british too, i mean whats the point?! scottish and welsh people can say there welsh and scottish and not british but when english people say there not british and there english everybody has ago at them saying weve betrayed the uk, i mean i accept theres a place called britain but im not british, anyway if ur british nowadays and u put a british flag outside ur house u look like a idiot simple as

[diddle]

I don't care what other people say or think,* I can be British or English, whatever takes my fancy at the time.







*okay, thats a blatant lie, but just roll with it...

[autoload]

[brooksieb]

Is the flag of Hawaii considered a Rebel flag?

[Kaplowitz]

No, but mostly because ive never been to Britain.

[Kaplowitz]

Actually (at above ^^^) im going to London in like April-- so i will feel British then.

[DAZMCFC]

i call myself British. my mam and dad is/was Scottish, i was born in sunny Salford(England) and i would not call myself English as i support Scotland in most things. my brother-inlaw is in the British army and a few of my cousins(being Scottish) are in the British army.

[sam_levi_11]

[Gypsys Kiss]

I must confess that I don't really feel British anymore. All the signs are there - I haven't been playing darts as much. I now use my cricket bat as a paddle to row across the local lake here. I hardly put HP sauce on anything anymore. It doesn't even feel natural to use the phrases "jolly good" or "fiendishly clever". If this feeling persists by the time Wimbledon rolls around then I know for sure it's all over.

[Gypsys Kiss]

The bit about HP is really sad. How could you let this happen?

we never say jolly good or fiendishly clever. darts is a just a pub sport for fat blokes. HP sauce rocks. cricket is boring

[Minister Masket]

Hell, I'm part Scottish and Irish. Yet I have a completely average British accent. I was forced on my visit to Texes to recite the alphabet in front of an audience in my accent. No boubt they enjoyed it terribly...

I don't think my ancestors would have considered themselves British, if anything, they probably hated you guys as they were Irish. And that they were forced to leave for being rebels in the mid-1800s.

[Frigidus]

You ignorant twat.

Your own fenic-love has clouded your mind. the fact that irish people were generally alcoholic labourers who beat their wives and fucked off when the going got tough probably doesnt enter your feeble mind when you romantically think about your "Irish ancestors".

And yes, you're probably right when you say that they didnt like us, as the green eyed monster is a terrible affliction, if not for any other reason.

But shall I tell you the reason Why I hate Paddys?

Because during the numerous terrorist attacks The IRA carried attacks out out upon Britain, probably not documented to you ignorant, american fuckwits, included largely innocent numbers of children, and pregnant fucking women...in the towns of london, warrington and brighton.

Not only this, but the IRA actively used children as "tactical decoy's" during the northern ireland conflict...and killed many of their own offspring this way, trying to divert the british armies attention away from recently planted car bombs...ending in many of the fenians children being blown to smitherenes......I hope this gives you a fair idea of the type you are beloving here...

Now, you comment on these things, living thousands of miles away, with this idiotic, romantic vision of being "a rebel" whereas the fucking dirty paddy cunts are just alcoholic criminal labourers.

But, you wouldn't know anything about this, eh?

No, we wouldn't. Also, unless I'm mistaken not all Irish people are in the IRA, so calling them Paddy's (I assume this would be like calling a Middle-Easterner a towelhead) seems unwarranted.

One can only wonder what would drive the Irish to retialiate in such manners, could it be, *gasp* that the British did the same things for literally centuries? One can only wonder why people who were forced to live in horrible conditions would want to fight back against people that wouldn't even let them own much, if any, property. You also make it seem that the Brits had done nothing wrong to the Irish. That is complete BS. An example? The Irish potato famine. Most British didn't care one way or another sipping their tea, while millions of Irish were starving to death.

And oh, the IRA is well documented as fighting against being subjugated like serfs for English lords that were put into power there. And you "esron" have no room to talk when it comes to being a filthy drunkard. Considering that "you" have bragged about getting drunk and trying to do some younger girls, and then whining when they turned you down.

You talk about it as if you "Anglo-Saxon" people are "teh bestest" as you would say. Or the as the original inhabitants. But, you fail in this regard as the Celts, whom most of the Irish are descended from, are the original inhabitants of the British Isles. Not to mention, that unless your family has been inbreeding for over 1000 years, you wouldn't be a "pure bread Anglo-Saxon."

"Alcoholic criminal laborers?" One can only wonder who forced them into such deprived conditions, oh yeah, the British.

to be honest i dont care if u like the IRA or not those fuckers were so close to killing me my car got damaged cause of them and my family didnt have anything to do with da potatoe famine, they were probably victims too or living in england and too poor to do anything

[muy_thaiguy]

I was talking about why family was never "British" in the sense that they followed the monarchy and such and that they immigrated to the states during the Potato Famine. Besides, they came from Galway County, not Northern Ireland.

[suggs]

Britain's not a "real" country. Indeed as Mr. Bragg said, "Its just an economic union, thats past its sell by date".

But i like England, and Scotlands a beautiful country.Never been to Wales.

The very fact that there has never been a meaningful British footabll team sums up how empty the idea of Britain really is in people's hearts.

Take down the Union Jack.
