The Mail and MoS are Britain's finest daily and Sunday newspapers. They have the best journalists and that's is one big reason why they have more "higher grade" readers than several of the other papers put together.

They speak for the decent law abiding people of this country.

On the other hand, I think that if we had the Union Flag displayed in public buildings and even schools, like the Yanks do, it might engender more pride in our country.
One thing I remember about the New York subway is that all the carriages have the American flag on them. Can you imagine the outcry if the Union Jack was printed on our tube trains!

Too right, Gravitas Not like the Guardian, Observer, telegraph and Times which are so deep-rooted in their suffiness and appeal to the middle class brigade terrified they'll lose some money if Brexit never happens. Serve those greedy arrogant smug capitalists right if it doesn't!

I'm not proud to be British or Scottish or whatever.

It doesn't matter where we were born or wherever we came from.

No, no I don't. The Mail has the best journalists and that, essentially. is why they win more awards for excellence than the rest.

Re: Are you proud to be British?

I don't feel British, I feel English. I'm not proud of being English - I had no choice in the matter. However, I do feel extremely fortunate to have been born in England - despite all our issues, there is still nowhere I would rather live.
