I understand Labour wants to introduce another Bank Holiday: British Day. Having spent the last decade systematically destroying all that was distinctively British and replacing treasured traditions with new-fangled politically-correct, all-embracing, multi-cultural and downright petty rituals under the guise of taking this country forward into the 21st century we are now left with a legacy of a fractured society. We used to celebrate being British just because we were proud of our heritage. We didn’t require a designated day to wave flags and put up banners. We were just proud of the many institutions that made Britain great: our regiments, our naval capabilities, our parliament, our legal system, our fox-hunting, our ability to make choices ourselves, our freedom. We never needed a day to remind us of our worth and I suspect, should British Day be enforced on us, it will mainly celebrated by illegal immigrants living in our great country thrilled to have yet another day off.
