Carman,

When I said it's politically incorrect, I was referring to the fact that we are being continually pushed by our "elected government" ( the quotes are because I can't find anyone that'll actually admit to voting for them!- I certainly didn't) to become part of a single-state europe, and we don't want to remind them that we ( with the help of other commonwealth troops) pulled the French out of the s**t twice in the 20th century and kicked the Germans butts at the same time.
We ( via successive governments) have surrendered our judicial system, our weight & measures and most of our economic decisions to a European parliament, and are forbidden by 'trendy left' councils even to fly St. Georges flag on his saints day for fear of causing offence, now they're trying to take away our currency. The government even now appears to be going back on it's own word and denying us a referrendum on this!. Some of these politicians have tried to scale down Rememberance Day parades and services on the grounds that the 2nd World War ended over 60 years ago and it's time that we forgave and forgot.
My answer - NEVER - we are British ( whether Scots, English, Welsh or Northern Irish)and should be proud of our heroes - we are giving away the freedom that our ancestors died to protect and this should not be allowed to happen. What Hitler failed to acheive by force our government is handing over without a fight.
Hence my signature - Commonwealth not Europe. In my opinion most of our politicians should be taken into London via Traitors Gate at the Tower of London.

Political rant over, I appologise if I've offended anyone else, I always USED to be proud of my heritage, but that'll probably soon be made a criminal offence; so I'd better keep quiet now.
