What exactly IS is your English identity, Burntstump? In fact what is England, given that it is not an administrative region of the UK and neither is it a sovereign state?

Maybe you've got John Betjemen's splendid prayer in mind:

....Keep our Empire undismembered,
Guide our Forces by thy hand,
Gallant blacks in far Jamaica,
Honduras and Togoland.
Protect them Lord in all their fights,
And even more, protect the whites.

Think of what our nation stands for,
Books from Boots and country lanes.
Free speech, free passes, class distinction,
Democracy and proper drains.
Lord, put beneath thy special care
One eighty-nine Cadogan Square....

If you wanted a world in which anyone from the next parish was a stranger, I'm afraid you've arrived in the wrong century. Around the world, countless millions are waking up to the iniquities around them, and doing exactly what Norman Tebbitt (your mentor, by any chance?) told them to do. That is, they are getting on their bikes. And even if every last one of us goes to defend our borders, they won't be stopped. They see a better world for their kids, they are determined to go for it, and I wish them well.

ddw, it's a bit feeble to sneer that someone is unarmed when you've just picked a fight with him and lost.
