Yeah ok mate...I'm a STEM teacher, I'm so impressed with your children speaking three languages, mine will probably be engineers. None of that has anything to do with the points I raised.

I'm happy to hear that your kids are doing well for themselves. I wonder if they share your opinion that the country is lost.

so still young enough to be influenced by their father's rather melodramatic and extremely negative view of proceedings then?

so rootless that I spend my time on the HOL chatting with fellow supporters of a medium sized unfashionable south London football club.

My son by comparison is still on the bbs despite having grown up abroad.

Britain is changing, it is always changing.

But it won't cease to exist. In fact I would argue that after we've emerged from this period of utter s*** the country will be appreciably stronger - economically, socially and politically.

Ironically it was you who said that the country is lost but it's me whose vision of the country is transient?

Remainers are also British. We also have British identities. But they're different to yours. We have a different relationship with our country. That's all.

And yes Palace is an important part of my identity. Some of my roots are at Selhurst Park and just like you I'll be biting my nails tomorrow night.
