We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this.

But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great British freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.

Oh Dear.....I suspect someone has been nicking something off the Yanks. As far as I am aware we in the UK/England do not have a National Motto; however, a quick glimpse at some US$ bills I have tucked away in my wallet reveal one little sentence written on the back of each...."In God We Trust". As regards Christian men founding this nation, I do not think the Celts, early Romans, Angles or Saxons were originally Christian. And could anyone tell me what Our Pledge is all about? Is it something to do with table polish? This is a somewhat strange exercise in patriotism.
