Yes i do feel let down by them all I consider myself British first and Welsh second that may sound strange but when I served in the british army we were all as one no PC brigade telling us what was right and wrong and felt proud of what we were today I feel let down and not sure what I am Howiexx ps wouldn't vote BNp as an alternative xxxx

Nice balance of replies. Thank you. Just as an example, of my feelings, when I was younger we flew the flag of St George often - now......... XXX re below. Right on Howie. I was an .englander in the Welch Regt) XXX Happy days

I would never vote for the BNP for two reasons. One is that I am English first & foremost,& two, there are too many nasty nutters involved with the party, On the other hand I despair of how England is being sold off piece meal to any foreigner with a bit of cash. When I shop I am happy to pay a little extra for goods produced in this country,if I can find them. Why, oh why do successive governments feel they have to buy/ contract out work overseas to apparently save money. In the long run it will not work because more people in this country will have to rely on state aid when there are no more jobs in this country. For the same reason I am also fed up with the amount of immigration. The services, ie; the NHS, would be hard pushed to keep up with normal population growth & advances in technology but with the influx of foreign nationals we have had in the past couple of years, no wonder they are running out of cash. I just wish there were something we could do about it. Vivienne

It's a sad day when we are all systematically being stripped of our Englishness at the expense of offending Ethnic minorities, whilst they are openly encouraged to maintain their culture, their beliefs, etc.............I have no objection to this, I just fail to understand why we must become second class citizens in order to accomodate such hypocritical edicts! If that does not contradict the ethicassy of the PC brigade, then I don't know what does? Jen

I feel let down a bit. I've always been a labour voter but now I think you're right when you comment that political correctness has got out of hand. I now think that all parties have good ideas that should be shared instead of just having a one party government! Ali x

I would never be tempted to vote for any Nationalist party, not because of any feeling of not being British, it always worries me a bit, too many times genocide occurs in countries where nationalism goes over the top. We think it can't happen here, maybe it couldn't, but I would never want to take that chance.

This thread is not about the BNP( reports say that 25% of the country would be prepared to vote for them)). As an Englishman - or a Britisher - I am one of those who feel I am being de-nuded of my Englishness by successive Governments, and the PC brigade. You are very much entitled to agree with my sentiments or tell me I am just another Colonel Blimp. (or Norman Tebbitt in more modern parlance) . Happy days
