The EuroFag
Posted: 14 Aug 2009, 02:31
I'm insulted that I a UK citizen keeps getting shoved in with the rest of Europe under a single moniker.
I am British. I pay British taxes, I vote in British elections, I read British news, I have a British bank account, watch British TV, listen to British bands, and it's good, no cheap ass US TV shows, no clunky European disco tunes, no 1000 identical starbucks with chairs and tables laid out in the same place as if they cloned each store, no adulterating prime ministers and presidents, no cheerleaders and jocks strutting around like a dreaded high school musical.
And we all hate hannah montana!!!!
I don't want to be lumped into a category with the rest of the continent. Britain has always been unique from the rest of Europe. We do things differently here, we have different attitudes, we like different things, we have different ideas of how things should be won ( anglo-american economics? )
We may not be American but we're definitely not European, and anyone who marks British citizens out as just the same as the rest of Europe is plain stupid and shouldn't be posting here.
I'm not even going to start on that stupid US Health debacle
