What makes you think I care about being British?


So presumably you don't?


Not the discredited narrow-minded, bigoted version of being British
currently being marketed, no.


The whole point of Brexit is that a lot of us DO care about being
British, to the extent that we would really like to govern ourselves
again, rather than be ruled by a foreign power.


What foreign power? Or are you imitating the SNP with its pretence that
Westminster is a foreign power?

It is foreign to Scotland and quite a few other bits of the UK. The
so-called "British way of life" ignores that there is a collection of
several ways of life.


Can you imagine the United States being told what to do by an American
Union based in Guatemala?


No but I can imagine Britain being told what to do by the USA, after all
we always have done.
