On teaching "Britishness"
Some schools already teach "citizenship" which, as stupid ideas go, is pretty fucking stupid. If you need to teach it, you're already doomed.
Apparently, this foolishness is going to become compulsory in schools. Perhaps they'll drop something useless like maths which you don't need to learn past 14 to make room in the timetable.
The inestimable Mr. Deathboy has a nice little piece about it, which I entirely agree with.
You go read. Save me typing.
