And is it not patent that a mob gathering for the purpose of repeatedly yelling "British police go to hell" are explicitly setting out to distance & alienate themselves from any 'British'ness on their own part; are in fact specifically denying being British or wishing to be thought so ~~

except, of course, for making full use of the facilities and utilities of the British town in which they have, by their own choice, taken up residence; and no doubt laying claim to any benefit to which they may be entitled by British law?

And Carroll & his lot reckon that's quite OK, I dare say...

Or is such a point merely another sign that I must have 'flipped'?
