"Often the authorities have seemed more concerned with encouraging distinctive identities than with promoting common values of nationhood."
What is the British Identify anyway? And if they do not what to have our culture, whatever that is, then whats wrong with that? It doesn't hurt me, its up to them. Surely trying to get everyone to be the same under a common value of nationhood is exactly what we are not

Life in Britain is affected by this oversensitivity.
That to me is bending over backwards. |
I have never heard anyone way ba ba green sheep or change stuff like that. I have seen a couple of comments removed from old sitcoms on uktv but hey. They didnt remove it on all channels so there you go.
The college thing is religious and at the end of the day it doesnt affect your education. You dont have to go to college and if you find your self resenting someone who can have time off then ask yourself if you wanna be there
