[Margaret Pilkington]

If all those organisations had been rubbish....do you think anyone would have wanted to buy them?
And while Eric and Cashy like your post it doesn't define what being british is, because trying to define what being british is, is like trying to describe a blue sky to a blind man.......or describing the taste of cheese without letting someone sample it.

People over the years have misunderstood the British.......and none more than those who tried to bring continental drinking habits to these isles........it doesn't work because the people have a different mind set to the continentals......to understand British...you have to be British.
Humour is different, ideals are different....the great influx of migrants was done to try to dilute this...to change the face of this country........but it was done too quickly and with little thought about how it would change things....for those coming in,and those already here. It was and experiment in social engineering. It hasn't improved the country. It has caused resentment in communities, made people feel like strangers in their own land....and it could turn out to be like Frankensteins monster.(Oh, and before anyone uses the rascism card - I'm saying what many people feel, but don't like to say for fear of being called racist...it isn't being racist.....it is being nationalist).
