Re: Proud to be British

Can't be bothered .. there's enough political claptrap and vitriol spewed on here on other threads.

Are you thinking of Red Robbo realspeed. He and his ilk were the real destroyers of British industry.

Re: Proud to be British

Last Tango, welcome and you have my respect for your patriotism..and your country.

I think we are becoming such apologists for our nations that we forget that for which we should be proud.

As a lifelong socialist who has opposed Britain's membership of the corporate capitalists' EEC and latterly EU since the 1970's, I am extremely proud of the way many of our working people rose above the pro-EU propaganda which flooded our media, ignored the ridiculous fearmongering of Project Fear, stuck two fingers up to the political elite and voted to Leave. It shows that, despite appearances, our people still have some fighting spirit!

I stand corrected. I didn't like her at the time but looking back she was the last politician to stand up for Britain.
