Mr McGregor is a genius... what are you talking about? He could back up his case well. All credit to him.

The "tribalism" predates the "EEC propaganda" you talk about. The EEC hasn't been around for a while... at least before the Cold War ended.

So I concede Mr McGregor, in spite of the fact that we all know him to have put Peter Rabbit's father into a pie.

Be that as it may, my only point was that the intra-British bickering has been exacerbated in recent years by irresponsible and badly thought-out policies.

Besides, our bickering is part of what makes us Us... just see how quickly we close ranks when we're criticised!
