Strikes me Danny Boyle got it all wrong in his 2012 opening ceremony.
What he should have done to represent GB to the world was have a section with some inadequate white males from Bermondsey sitting around bitching about the immigrants and the good old days of slavery. Would have gone down a...
While I don't share many of your views I agree about the language, it's just basic courtesy and also pure self-interest to learn the language in another country, to cope with 'life's admin' etc if nothing else.

Genuine question. What DO you want, because I'm none the wiser. People of different races are obviously going to hold on to some aspects of their culture. We know what you don't like or are unhappy about. But we are where we are, it ain't going back to the 1950s any time soon. So what now to...

Wow. Even by their standards that is deeply unpleasant. We're all going to have opinions about the opening ceremony (personally if I could have written a list of everything to celebrate about this country, Danny Boyle's would have been it to a tee) but to conjure up a vile anti-NHS piece like...
