I don't know.
I stopped feeling British a long time ago. I stopped feeling English when I had to go to court to enforce my son's right to have a father.

I feel loyalty only to friends and family and would nowadays tell anyone appealling to my patriotism to get stuffed.

As for calling people `racists' - reminds me of the quote about it being a handy catch all title to describe anyone with who you disagree from paid up members of the BNP to the milkman's bill you're querying.

Yes. I have ancestors who were illegal immigrants if I'm going to wave my PC credentials about.

I Can Get That.
About your son. Some of the legal/political shit stinks in Britain. But it's the same the world over.

But I can't get you not wanting to be, or feeling, English/British.

For me, I'm Geordie (and that can be sub-divided into exact areas) first, then a Northerner, then English, then British, then European, and now a British ex-pat. I'm proud of all of them.

Cheers

It makes me ttiter
when I see a comment on the Daily Mail site along the lines of:

Bloody immegrants blah, blah etc,
Steve, ex-pat.

Do they not see the irony?
