We have thousands of years of history and every misdemeanour that we've ever made is being apologised for. I'm just waiting for the apology to France for Nelson's little victory.
The problem is that we've been PCed into a corner and now no one dare say anything because of the 'discrimination' card which is wielded so freely by everyone for an instant sympathy vote. The bigger problem is that compensation culture has encouraged it to the point where payouts for ludicrous stupidity are no longer confined to cups of coffee in McDonalds.
Great Britain has become a very litigious society, so much so that it's almost like a second income for some people and collossal payouts are being demanded for the most innoccuous things.
Flying an England flag on St George's Day should be a proud event but there's always someone somewhere just waiting to be offended.
It's the saddest thing about our once-great country, which is why so many of us keep harking back to how things used to be.
