Chancellor Gordon Brown thinks we are not British enough, and that what the country really needs is a day to celebrate being British.

Leaving aside for now the fact that its him and all his little followers on the left who have been making huge political capital for decades out of trying to portray British as a dirty word, this is the most damned unBritish thing I have heard of in a long time. One of the most British things about being British is not making a big fuss about it. Or anyhting else for that matter. (Its just not polite to remind all the poor foreigners that they do not have the good luck to be British themselves.)

What's more he would bottle it anyway, and a British day organised by the labour party would be all chicken tikka filled cornish pasties and alcohol free real ale to avoid upsetting muslims. All the celebration that is required is a slightly misty eye and an almost imperceptable tremble of the upper lip whilst listening to Elgars Pomp and Circumstance.

I wouild also like to point out that this is the exact equivalent of John Major's speech about beer and village greens and old maids cycling to church, and a sure sign that Gordo is finished.
