As much as I aadmire Bragg's sentiments, I can't get worked up by English nationalism. All nationalism is by it's nature, exclusive, and by celebrating nationalism, gives an exagerated view of one's own difference from other people. We should be looking at things that unite us rather then seperate us. Why not a day celebrating rationality and reason. For this reason, I gave St George's Day a miss this year as I have done other years.

I realise the Scots have a strong feeling of identity; but is this a good thing? (I am half-Scots myself.)
