News Flash: Today I'm British

Today I'm British I never thought that I would hear me mumbling those words, never mind proclaiming them on the internet. I've always left it for the legalities of a passport define me as that. I wish all four of nation had a little option next to British nationality statement for 'signed under duress'. I've never been British, Scottish and proud waiting for the day of the purple passport and the proud statement of Scottish. If My driving license can have a soltaire on it, why can't my passport.? External propaganda I suppose. It's cause me more than a few problems over the years at some of Europe's lesser know borders. When I've been asked why I don't sound English. They get very confused, yes I have a British passport, So you are English? No I am Scottish. “You don't sound English?” Why have you got a British passport if you are not English? And on it goes.

But today I'm British, Why? Maggie's DEAD, that's why and not only dead but about to be burned in fiery furness, which is a bit of shame because I was hoping to rave on her grave. That's what i've been envisaging but then I found out she was getting cremated pah.

So there you all were proudly turning you back on the Iron Lady's coffin. It was great, there it was that look of quite a few people collectively remembering there suffering. And none of this suffering over a ideological cause or enemy, like the one provided by war. No suffering of having a pointless existence and extensive black hole of a life. They weren't Scotsmen, Geordies or even Yorkshiremen these were most likely Londoners. Doing there bit so the national voice was heard. Maybe they were born up North maybe they just had socialism in there bones, maybe they've been on the dole thirty years all the same there they were being reflectfully defiant. They weren't there because they had an overwhelming desire to desecrate someone's memory they were there to highlight the actions of her tyranny. Of those out of work, the decimated communities, the hungry milk she stole milk from, all the broken families and the suicides.

Thank fuck it went off well, it could have been a bloody disaster had it kicked off, with the protesters pinned down and kettled by a supposedly biased police force. Even at that there were shouts of Tory Scum and it's amazing to think, they got away with it. Their were not mass riots and nobody manage to blow up the coffin. That would have been funny, if a bit disturbing. So I'd just like to say thanks you've made me feel more Britishness than I thought I could. It's shame I'm voting for Scottish independence though. I'll pray for you guys south of the border.
