" I don't think anybody truly knows and that's why it's a rather ill informed comment to make. Culturally the country is different all over with all areas offering different experiences from beautiful hills and scenery to bustling cities with history or traditions...but standards ? Aren't those simply the things that decent people have irrespective of origins ?" It is the word decent that is terrifying there. Decency is what sees gay people shunned and ostracised. Decency is what kept black people as a subclass. Decency is subjective and can be wheeled out by any intolerant bigot. | |||

"The more you own the more you are. That's not just the British though" Agreed. But it is a defining characteristic of many British cultures. | |||

"Cameron has said he will back a campaign to actively promote English values in schools. What, in your opinion, are English values?" It's just another meaningless soundbite from another politician who does not have a clue what goes on in the 21st century classroom. | |||

The modern world is far more aware of people's plights and individual needs and feelings and the days of hiding away atrocities from the public eye are disappearing. Even some of the world's worst atrocities have never hidden under the guise of decent acts ? The most blinkered of us is aware what decent is I believe. It's simply whether you truly believe it or try to convince yourself of it. | |||

"Professional tea drinking. Knowing ones rights. Rigid class structures. Innovative spirit." I'd argue that the rigid class structure is created by the working class these days? | |||
