I would have terrible trouble fighting for my country.
I was born in the UK, brought up in the UK, but don't feel remotely proud of "being English" because of the atrocious mess we seem to leave things in. We've been America's bitch (or lap-dog) for so long that we're actually a laughing stock for the rest of the the world. We're notorious for setting terrible examples of ourselves when we choose to leave the country and have only the saving grace of a music industry to be proud of.
I'm proud of what we were - not what we are.
