All I would say is I can well understand the frustrations and annoyance you are feeling currently.
Except mine is not with Britain as a whole,I am very proud to be British but rather less so being English.
With recent events.

What I am witnessing as to some of the most vile prejudices, from admittedly a likely minority but that's not certain,crawling out the woodwork and showing itself more publicly here in England recently now.
Certainly makes me feel sad and even ashamed at times of this particular part of the UK.
Like it clearly has yourself Kizzy.

I still would say I see some merit in this EU idea, whether it ever comes to fruition is another matter.
Anyway we do not now have to be any part of it now at all or even consider same.
Then again I am a supporter of the EU and will stay so, so I would have been likely warmer to this idea than most others.

Well there at least two cases on the news that might or might not be vile prejudices as they haven't actually mentioned any evidence they were race related apart from the victim being polish. Unfortunately crime happens every day and it isn't always racially motivated no matter where the people originate from or indeed anything to with the EU. Stephan Lawrence's murder was a vile prejudice for instance and deserves justice.

If you are English hating over the EU referendum, don't forget to include the Welsh, and the 39% of Scots who voted to leave plus the NIs who voted same. Or it sounds like you are just picking on one race. Which makes you guilty of the very thing that is upsetting you.
