What like anyone who defends being British gets lumped in with the far right - really offensive to people who value the British way of life.

What's the problem with a shop selling British products.... IN BRITAIN?

I have a brilliant Polish shop in my nearest town, lots of the indigenous locals use it, they have the finest collection of vodkas I've ever seen. I've never heard anyone make a negative comment about it. If you've got a problem with a shop selling British stuff, you have to have a problem with a Polish shop selling Polish stuff. You racist...

I hope the guy gets lots of business for his excellent shop on the back of this.

I've deleted some posts. :hee:

Personally, I can't see someone like that going on The Daily Politics and lying about something like that, but maybe that's just me.

So far the thread has compiled a grand total of zero evidence of any one person having a problem with the Really British shop.

What has skin colour got to do with it? It is about people valuing the British way of life, you read into it what you will.

And what would that be? I mean the British way of life.

Apart from never leaving your house without an umbrella, I’m genuinely interested in hearing what the ‘British way of life” is

Yes I was going to pop up
but the Beatles mugs have sold out
lots of China Tourists

You have to pretend to not live in a multi-cultural society and protest mosques whilst not going to church. And then call yourself patriotic and all others traitors. Then down a stella and read through the Daily Mail titles.

Being cynical and proud if it works both ways. Pretty sick of the predictable questioning of whether the Brits have as much right to value their way of life as anyone else quite frankly.

Being British mean many things from the big to the small. I repeat what does skin colour have to do being proud of British. A question should be answered before another is asked.

This has turned out to be such a ridiculous thread. Being British means never leaving your house without an umbrella? WTF...?

Being British means taking pride in what this country has given to the world... art, literature, government, technology. It means being proud of being inclusive and multicultural (although it's okay to speak about immigration and Britishness without being a racist... some people on this thread are missing that), having taken in refugees for years... My own family for instance, was accepted here after the war and given a home. We've given more to aid Syrian refugees in Jordan than any other country in the world. Our troops were the first in to Africa to help with the ebola crisis and Brits are always first into areas after natural disasters.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of Britain, and if you hate it so much, if you disagree with the majority that you can being a proud Brit without being a racist... you can always try to find your Utopia somewhere else.

Noticed you didn't embolden the first three words of my post that you quoted to try and imply that i was stating 'All Corbyn supporters'

Very clever :clap1:

Yeh.. You see so many threads here (anywhere) from patriotic brits discussing literature and art haha. What world are you living in really? If thats what being British is, then I see next to no Brits on this forum. Have a look through the Britain First facebook page and have a look see what self-described "patriots" actually care about. You're in for a shock m8.

This post roughly equates to 'being British is pretending the bad stuff doesn't happen, and if you dislike the bad stuff then move country'

what nationality are you?

There was a complaint made by a local resident who asked them to remove golliwogs from their window display, they refused.

Yet this thread has proved that anyone that doesn't share a right leaning opinion is branded part of the 'Loony Left'. Hypocritical.

Only in response. Those shouting racist and far-right to shut people down started it provoking an understandable response.

I don't see the relevance. Would my answer dictate how important my opinion is?

Wow, you sound so cutting :hehe:

I’d agree with your sentiments if you were talking about the same Britain that I know and love but then I don’t hang out with neoliberals because their imaginary version of Britain is very different to mine.

I don’t want to live amongst the sort of Brits who want to lock down their drawbridges, privatize their medicine, their prisons and their schools and who’s government encourages its minions to be mean spirited and selfish towards their neighbours. I don’t want to live in a hostile Britain where philanthropy is a thing of the past.

then dont

I would imagine poster is trying to ascertain how much you are likely to value the British way of life. Therefore your nationality is relevant.

Define the British way of life for me, I'll give that a direct answer instead.

hey withano have you condemned the idiots who have been attacking the owner yet?

Have you found any evidence that they exist yet? Genuinely asking, I havent kept up with the story or the thread really.
