Countries are formed by the actions of its civilians so everyone has the right to feel proud of where they come from. |
I hate Britain. I loe the Isle of Man. The Isle of Man will always be my home, and I will always acknowledge where I came from, and neer forget it.
This is probably a bit how first gen./forced foreign immigrants feel, only I grew up speaking English, and hearing about British politics and the like.
