Proud to be British.

Tue Jul 31, 2012 2:00 pm

First and foremost I am Welsh and I love being Welsh but I am also very proud to be British. I don't hate England, Scotland or Nortern Ireland and I certainly don't want them to lose to France, Germany, Italy etc in various championships.

I am also proud to be in HM Armed Forces and I will always salute the flag and would fight for what it stands for. I also stand and sing the BRITISH national anthem as I do the Welsh one. I also love the Scottish national anthem.

Does this make me less of a Welshman? Am I in the minority?

Hypothetically speaking

Would you fellows be happy to shoot dead a man who has done absolutely nothing to threaten you, your family or your freedom, purely because they were born on a different bit of land to you and you have sworn an oath to an unelected monarch?

British forces aren't in the business of shooting innocent people.

Christ, it's not colonial times anymore, our lads only eradicate threats to them or our nation or allies.
