British people in "love their country" shocker! It might be less apparent online, but with my hand on my heart I can promise you that people from all the nations of the union share my conviction. It might not be universal, but we'll take our odd, sentimental, sometimes eccentric culture over a bland globalised republicanism any day, thanks.
- xk_id 3y agoEnjoy! This is why I think English people had no business being in the EU in the first place and de Gaulle was right in blocking UK’s membership.
- trackflak 3y agoI don't like the anti-English animosity that seems universal in some circles. There is some room for ribbing but a lot of the time I wonder how much of it is merely and sincerely 'in jest'. And that is another fear I share for the loss of a monarchy. Something familiar and deeply associated with our long history will be gone, and home will look even more like everywhere else.
- b800h 3y agoWe're uniquely unsuited to defending ourselves - British reserve flies in the face of speaking up and raising our voices - but it's so important to do so, and not just give the wreckers carte blanche.
