'no ones listening to us when we say why should e be ashamed to fly the union jacks, to love the British culture'
I seem to be liking the look of my own postings tonight but anyway...
The only thing that makes me ashamed to buy items feasturing the union jack flag isd the perceived association with the BNP.
I'm an english person living in Wales and a member of the Rugby club; never has a comment regarding my Englsihness been amde to me, never have I felt I mustn't give my boys a rose to wear on St george's day, or decided against buying something becuase of the flag on it except for the realisation that someone might think I was in the BNP.
Apart from (deserved) career suicide, I'd feel too ashamed to leave my home.
I have several racists in my family: My Granfdad is the worst, and he is at a point where even my mum can no longer cope with him and the way he behaves (racism not senility) in public and is looking at some kind of housing; I chose to study a degree in workld religions because I was sick of the volunteers at my employing charity that refused to work with immigrants; buyt every time I try and explain real truths to people with that kind of perception- such basics as the difference between asylum seeker and illegal immigrant, and why we cannot ocunt the illegal immigrants- I am met with a cynical wall of misinformation and downright stupidity.
There are intelligent racists, if you meana cademically and politically; there are infinitely more gulible idiotic ones looking for someone they eprceive to be like them. like them? I am working class white council house breed and I can tell you, Cambridge educated racist is definitely not like me.
