Newspapers are unable, seemingly, to discriminate between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilisation.

Proud to be British? PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 26 November 2009 19:44
I'm British by accident of birth. To be proud of my Britishness would be as illogical as Boris Johnson being proud of being blonde, or Stephen Fry being proud of being a big lad. I am, however, pleased to be British. Very happy that I have had the opportunities afforded to me by a liberal environment of general affluence. What am I proud of? I'm proud of what I have done with that opportunity. Rather than, as you put it, pull up the drawbridge and condemn those less fortunate than me - and it is nothing more than good fortune - I have spent several years fighting to help and support those who can't help themselves. That's called humanity. So no, I'm not proud of my Britishness. But I am proud of my humanity. And I'm ashamed of the Mail.
