   You are what we Scots call a "Britclone"; someone who lives on bended   
   knee before the English; admiring every crime they have ever committed   
   while pretending to be one of them, just like the sad, mixed-blood   
   Anglo-Indians of Delhi and Bombay. Poor, deluded Brit worshippers.   
      
   A nation is defined by its culture. In your case, it is the culture of   
   the collaborator. Do you really think that the English will ever   
   accept you as anything other than just another raggedy-arsed Mick?   
   Open your ears and listen to the British response to people like you -   
   "Knick knack Paddy whack, give our dog a bone...."   
      
   As our national anthem says:   
      
   Who would be a traitor knave?   
   Who would fill a coward's grave?   
   Who so base as be a slave?   
   Let him turn and flee.   
      
   Welcome to the world of Britclone arselickers! Don't expect to find me   
   there.   
      
   Ná leathnaigh do bhrat muna féidir leat á chosaint.   
   Don't unfurl your flag if you are unable to defend it.
