Hello James! It is not my feeling nor pride. I am about concern about the notion you have for the country. Nothing personal here. I am not hurt or anything. Just that I have so much high expectatins from a British like you. What did we get? You have derogatory remarks about Philippines. Shouldn't you rrealise that that is not accpetable in world of respect and manners? I did not claim Philippines is a paradise. Fine if Philippines is a rubbish, I will not get hurt or offended at all. But I would ask you, what are you doing to do about it being Proud to be British?
