Cameron: 'Stop being bashful about Britishness'

People in the UK should stop being "bashful" about being British, the prime minister has urged.

Writing in the Mail on Sunday, David Cameron said the country should be "far more muscular" in promoting its values and institutions....

This should include teaching children about the Magna Carta, Mr Cameron said....


In the wake of Ofsted's findings, Mr Cameron said "British values" included: "A belief in freedom, tolerance of others, accepting personal and social responsibility, respecting and upholding the rule of law."...

(Isn't a 'belief in freedom' and 'tolerance of others' rather incompatible with writing in the Mail on Sunday? And both Cameron and Blair seem rather disinclined toward 'accepting personal and social responsibility'.)

I don't care what this (I don't know a word that is both foul enough but will not get my post pulled) has to say. The only thing I want from him is his immediate resignation and agonizing suicide.
