are there any patriots left in great britain anymore or is almost everyone concerned about foreigners?

Question

do peoplr no longer love the queen and there country instead they are concerned with themselves and foreigners

Answer 1

I love my country and I'm sick of it being invaded by legal & illegal immigrants. There are many people who share this view, they are just too scared to say anything because if they do they are likely to be branded as a racist. Well if loving my country makes me a racist, fine, I'm a racist.

Answer 2

Of course there are, I do, most people I know do. Most people I know love the Queen and hate political correctness with a vengeance. I'm quite frankly concerned with Britain and her interests and people before those from another country, as is only right. If I were to move to another country (which I wouldn't do because England is my home) then I wouldn't expect the people there to bend over backwards to accommodate me. No, I'd think it only right that I should adapt to their rules, and the same goes for people moving here. I'm not saying other cultures are in any way bad, but I hardly think we should have to change the way our country works on their account.

Oh and yea, to the bloke earlier who mentioned the BNP, they have long crossed the border of patriotism into racism. Someone earlier mentioned patriotism being the last refuge of the scoundrel; in almost every other instance I would think that completely wrong, but the BNP use patriotism as a tool to give them validity. Validity which they, quite frankly, don't deserve and will never be given by the majority of decent people, patriotic or not.

Answer 3

awww. bless...

There is nothing wrong with being patriotic. But being patriotic doesn't mean that everyone else should be excluded. Lead by example and inspire others on how to conduct themselves in society and behave in this country WE ALL call home. When Britain 'invaded' (with force) other countries around the world in the name of Queen and country, everyone was expected to sit back and take it.

Now the tables have turned, it's only natural to resent immigrants when we now have more people competing for the same, limited resources. Yes, immigration should be monitored and controlled more effectively and efficiently than of late, but the economic contribution of immigrants, there families and descendants to this country should also not be overlooked.

Answer 4

Yes I'm a patriot in that i love my Queen and Country this doesn't mean i support this government which has undermined our liberty and privacy . The extreme left and the PC brigade have tried to brand patriotism as racist which it is not as there is many patriotic Asians ,Afro Caribbeans etc who will consider themselves British. We need a new party that will restore our freedom and sovereignty outside the corrupt EU.

Answer 5

I think that people confuse being a patriot with being a racist. I love the UK, I have never wanted to live anywhere else. I could do without the rain and the traffic wardens but basically I think we are extremely lucky, we live in a country where the majority of police are unarmed, where we are free to think and do pretty much as we please. Instead of the hysteria about people coming to this country we should take it as a huge compliment that they want to come here. Its because its a nice place

Answer 6

Most people in the UK are still very patriotic even though it's seen to be unfashionable. It is easy to make patriotism sound like racism and there are many foreign and home based pressure groups who do just that.
Most people who in the old days stood up to be counted about their country are probably now too scared to do so in case they are seen to be out of step. We need some good old fashioned patriotism, be proud of your country and don't be frightened to say so.

Answer 7

I think Britain is one of the best countries in the world but I would not call myself patriotic.

I don't love the queen - an anachronism that should be consigned to history.

And I always find it rather confusing when somebody says they are proud to be British - as if they had some say in where they were lucky enough to be born.

I think you should be cautious of patriotism - governments normally call for it before they send people off to die in wars that benefit the few. Also countries are artificial constructions with arbitrary borders, political entities founded in theft and murder. So what exactly are you "loving".

Johnston said that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel - and he had something there. All despots seem to use patriotism or love of ones country to control and repress people.

Free yourself of this trick - and look at the bigger picture - the whole of humanity.

Answer 8

The most virulent patriots I have met are the so-called 'ex'- pats. They seem to be enamoured of the UK, although not enough to actually live there. I'm a true ex-pat.
By the way, one way to show a love of one's country might be to learn the language.

Answer 9

There are many people who are patriots although now it is almost classed as being racist.I'm afraid I got so fed up I left to live in southern Spain were there is freedom of speech and our own little Britain.

Answer 10

those are the bitter end results of democracy. guy sometime might want to might want to hotel decrease back to the kingship, which now abhorred as dictatorship. that is because the parliament considers this to be a discrimination adversarial to religions and they prefer to stay secular. Merry Christmas!
