"for me patriotism is great music, great writing, great beer and pubs, festivals, a radical spirit,ken loach, punk, west coast of scotland and the lake district, john benson, john martyn, john cooper clarke, joe strumer, curlews, good manners and many, many etcs"

It's possible to love all of those, yet not be an ugly person eaten alive with jealousy of those whose lot in life puts them better-placed than oneself. There are a great many who, like me, are living testimony to that fact.
