Hello! It's one of my periodic rants. I'm a Morris dancer and a folk singer, so my rants are usually from the folk angle. (Morris dancing for the Olympics opening ceremony! Everyone sniggers when we say this, and think we're joking, but I bet any other country would include their own folk dance tradition without a moment's thought.) There's a weird thing in England by which any attempt to say "I like my country's traditions and history and heritage" is somehow interpreted as jingoism. Other countries don't seem to have that problem. It's "Imperialist" for the English to celebrate St George's Day, but perfectly okay for the Scots to celebrate St Andrew's day. It's the curse of being the "oppressor" majority, I suppose.
