Me too, and we are jealous of the Federal encouragement of patriotism, a position which is almost on the legal limit of the Race Relations Act here and seen by many English as hugely unfair when our Welsh and Scottish chums are positively encouraged to assert their specific identities. But I've been here before.

Very likely, I know the feeling.
Errrr, I think you mean Zimbabwe. . . . . . .
In fact the ethnic and indigenous population, the white settlers and the ex-pats were all very happy with Ian Smith's UDI and his running of the country, PM Harold Wilson was not and the Russians mixed it with the UN.
You may see the result as you allude to.

I do hope it doesn't, but also whilst the sh-1-t is currently being lobbed onto the fan in small dollops, I too will thankfully probably not be here to see it tipped on by the truck load or the results therefrom.
Pity the next generations.
