Subject: RE: England My England
Well I am very pleased that I happen to have been born in the UK at the time I was, rather than, say, Rwanda.
There are plenty of activists, politicians, freethinkers who have fought for benefits that make my life as a UK resident a hell of a lot easier than for a citizen of North Korea.
But I can't say "pride" is what I feel. There's just something a bit pompous and weird in that.
