I don't post on 20six much now but thought I'd give my latest rant a bit of room to breathe down here as well. This is reproduced from one of my other (much more) active blogs

I recently received a package from the USA.

My registered address was shown as being in England, because that's where I bloody well live.

And when the package arrived England has been crossed out and UK written in it's place.

This has not been done by the company concerned because their mail label is printed.

It has been done some where along the line by some bloody righteous twat who thinks that they have the right to change my nationality.

Now firstly there is no nation called the United Kingdom. No one is United-Kingdomish.

For the benefit of the assholes (American spelling for the Americans) out there who don't know; The United Kingdom consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - and they are all separate nations in their own right.

I am referred to as being British merely by dint of being resident on one of the parts that forms the British Isles, to whit, England.

But - and get this through your thick skulls - I am ENGLISH.

I was born in London - the capital city of England.

I am sick and bloody tired of being told that I must be British and not English. The Scots, Irish and Welsh don't have this problem and I'm bloody well sure they wouldn't put up with it either.

I don't care to be told that this offends our migrant population. If they don't like it then they are perfectly welcome to fuck off back where they came from, mostly to oppressive regimes where they'd never be allowed to express any opinion.

I have no problem with anyone coming here from anywhere in the world LEGALLY and working to earn a living but I am sick of finding that as an indiginous Englishman I have to take second place in line to the refugees on virtually every bloody situation.

If you think I am being bigotted and biassed then I suggest you check out our British social services and things such as legal aid. I suspect you will be shocked at how much leeway and added benefits are made to those from other countries who have arrived here, legally or otherwise.

So as I can't get anything from having been born here the better part of 60 years ago I sure as hell am going to continue to be ENGLISH.

And if that offends anyone from the immigrant ethnic minorities then fucking hard luck.

Many of you came here for the freedom this country offered.

Part of that is the freedom of speech.

So fuck you if you dislike my nationality and my right to be it.

And as i say, if it really offends you, then piss off back to your own country and change it to be what you want as opposed to trying to change my country in line with your ideals.
