Brown launches mission to find a national motto to make us all feel British
And among all that bile, someone gets through with the only sensible suggestions:
Behold, a tide of cynicism and negativity:• What do you think Britain's motto should be? Submit your ideas in the comments section at the bottom of this page
'When in Rome, do as the Romans' or 'we will fight them on the beaches and on the landing grounds' (meaning the EU of course).
- Harry, North Lincs
The motto should be "Brown's Britishness is for Scotland's benefit at England's Expense.'
- Luke, Chester
How about 'no room at the inn'?
- Surreyboy1, Surrey
The new slogan should be "Vote Labour at your peril"
- D J Kirkby, Newport
The motto is "Rip-off Britain"
- Sam, Essex
Tax, more taxes and damned taxes?
Spin, Illusion, Disillusion?
Naivete, Tolerance, Taxes?
Tolerance, Taxes, Immigration?
Tolerance, Hospitality, Immigration, Emigration?
Last out, lights out?
For taxes we serve?
Need I go on? This is such a patronising and crass move which smacks of Brown's desperation to mask the idiocy of his party. How can a country be unified when there's no wider acceptance of integration by those who abuse our generosity and tolerant spirit? Adopting strict entry requirements, like being able to speak English, would at least be a start in making immigrants adopt a sense of what it is to be British.

^^^ I wonder if that's a comment on the subject of the article or a suggestionFor God's sake help us.

Mine are not printable.

'Mugs R Us'?
- Helen, UK
"Knowing how to spend other people's money better than they do."
- Bob Grant, London
And among all that bile, someone gets through with the only sensible suggestions:
Peace, Tolerance and Prosperity is what we should all strive for.
