A few years ago I stayed with some Ex-Pat English friends in Australia. They'd been there for a good number of years, had Australian citizenship and considered themselves as Aussies, despite being born in the UK. Their kids were raised as Australian, and had been taught the art of Pommie Bashing. They were all very proud followers of Aussie Cricket, Rugby Union and Rugby League, they didn't follow soccer as that was not a true Aussie game, it's only played by Greeks and Serbo/Croats.
This is the perfect example of how an immigrant should embrace and love their new adopted homeland.
Some immigrants to the Uk are loyal to Britain, and I always have respect for any Indians I see displaying the Union Flag or wearing an England football shirt, but it does annoy me when I see certain British born immigrants displaying other countries national flags on their car licence plates, at sporting events ....etc.
Yes, I know some Brit's abroad are just as bad, but for me, if you choose to settle in another country you have to adopt that country as your homeland, raise your kids to accept it is their homeland and be patriotic to it.
