[radiogaga]

john the baggage handler who tackled the guy on flames at glasgow airport, "the british people have had worse thrown at them, we'll stand up proud and we'll have ye!"
fantastic

[stokeace]

he wouldnt have been saying that if the guy had detonated his suicide belt.....you wouldnt have seen his a*se for dust........bravado is a wonderful thing.

[johnlambert]

[rabbitygirl]

[johnlambert]

stokeace, it'll save a lot of posts if you tell us who you don't hate and do respect.

[rabbitygirl]

Good news! I thought that was an oxymoron...

[THECORBYLOON]

Eh?

rabbitygirl
Would you care` to explain to the thousands of Scots soldiers ,sailors and airmen who have died in the service of Great Britain since the Act of Union in 1703 that they were a contradiction in terms?

[rabbitygirl]

We English are British but we will call ourselves English before but as well as British because like you our nationality is what we are proudest of. We are not born in Britain but in our home country. I have only experienced Scots describing themselves as Scots and not Brits and if I indicated this was anything but welcome I apologise. I believe Scots are probably more patriotic than us English but thats a hornets nest for another day. A brave person is a brave person in any language and country John. I have recently returned from the 1st world war battlefields and cemeteries of France and Belgium and I respected every one of the British graves and names there.

a p!sh nationalistic debate at this time is unnecessary and stupid

"Jumps up and down" Dont forget the Welsh:-)

[rabbitygirl]

Well I am not debating - I've answered the call for my explanation. Legend ; yep sometimes I agree with you and a debate at this time may well be unnecessary and stupid - do you mean time as in time of night (rare for you) or as in the current national situation? Either way I'm going. My dishwasher has packed up and I have to wash up after a late Sunday roast. Goodnight Brits everywhere!!! PS Legend I though you handled that spiteful stuff very well early last week.

[scotland#1]

Scotland is the best!!! we handle all situations well, even if someone is on fire. Let the B*****d burn!!!!!!!

[mightyWBA]

I think we all know who the enemy is.
Whether you're English,Scottish,Welsh or Irish its a time to stand together as the one nation we are.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

[johnlambert]

well said mightyWBA

As someone who lived through WW2 I can confidently say that there is an innate reaction likely from BRITISH people to anything they see is going to be harmful to others. It helps them if there is another person to join in but this trait is to be acknowledged and appreciated. The British spirit usually shines through.

You can't help but wonder though, had the brave Scot's rugby tackle resulted in the terrorist breaking a leg, then he would be the criminal then!

See our hero here!!
