Gnomon - time to move on

Hi Sleeting. You said in another conversation "You obviously have no understanding of our history and how suppressed its been." But then you unsubbed so I couldn't ask you there.

Do you mind me asking what country you are from?

Why did you say the British had taken over your country, then?

Because they did.

I talked on that thread about the conception of Britain and the Union to be to do with Empire.

Try looking up a bit of William Blake or reading a bit of E M Forster and you might have a clue.

But its endlessly tiresome for someone from the English countryside having to try to explain this stuff.

Well I thought he we go again when you said,

>Why did you say the British had taken over your country, then?<

Why would you say that if I said I was English?

You will go a long way to find someone that doesn't think British/English are the same thing. I meet it endlessly on h2g2..and yes it gets tiresome...
