You would have got clear no-nonsense answers from a populace who had a sense pride in being British. Patience, tolerance, a sense of fair play, justice, duty, order etc. Ask the question today and you'll be told that there is no such thing as 'Britishness' All those things we intuitively understood to be of value - the things that held us together - have been eroded. Some have disappeared altogether and what is left is derided. There is no stiff upper lip any more. Better that we let it all out and demonstrate our feelings by weeping and wailing such as always been the way in other cultures. Diversity has created division were it need not have done. We have truly lost our way and I see no prospect of a return to the values that once made us the envy of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
