I’ll Sign On To This.

Coming, as we do, from the same corner of the West Country, it doesn’t surprise me that I’ll happily sign on to The Englishman’s view :

But the England I believe in is a Taurean, placid, tolerant place –
bucolic and green; but when tweaked capable of violence and rage. Not a
nation founded on race but on a common culture, respects and language.
Not constrained by geography, creed, breeding or birth – open to all
who wish to belong. Feared and despised by many but a benefactor to
most.
Put upon and yoked by foreign rulers, but strong enough to make it through such times to regain its freedoms.
My England is different to Your England but Our England is a grand place; worth fighting for.
