I used Andy Murray as an example to make the point. As has been mentioned it was a tongue in cheek comment made in the name of banter. The fact that so many misplaced their sense of humour about it merelys show that as a Untied Kingdom we are not very united. As i say lines we draw are arbitrary...
I would say that the longer I live here the more cultural differences I see. As a further point i would say that most people do not identify as being of British Isles decent. Which to me is important because I believe that what and where you identify with is more important than where you were...
So where do we all sit in this debate? Are we, by discussing this, taking a stand against this kind of nonsense our are we contributing to its perpetuation?
Surely the media can howl with indignation as much as they like, but if we just ignore them then surely eventually they would give up.
Oh god, I was supporting Andy Murray over the Aussie bloke last night. Is that okay????
One of my children was too, should they be punished? What about the other two?
Won't somebody think of the social cohesion...... the guilt the guilt!
I have chosen to move to Australia Bushy. Who am I allowed to support, I wouldn't want to be having a negative effect on social cohesion.
What about my children, who should they be supporting, Australia or England?
Are they allowed to support Brighton?
This is a middle class guilt minefield!!!!
