  1. I stumbled across this poem while doing my revision... Rather true to be honest (If possible, does anyone know the writer?)

    ------------------------------------------------

    Who are the British?
    Ask us, and you will find that we dance to music from America, Africa and Asia; we eat food from Ireland, Italy and Jamaica; we speak more than 300 hundred languages and we know over 400 hundred different ways to cook a potato.

    We look Celtic, Arab and Bengali; We wear kilts, saris and football shorts; and if you get very close to us and look right into our eyes, you can almost see the history of the whole world.

    This book takes a poetic look at thirteen young British people as they work, rest and play. None of these children want to live in a world where everybody looks like them; they are all ready to embrace a multicultural, multicoloured land where every child is equal and all children have a poem to call their own.

    If Britian is going to be great in the future, it will be because these kids want curry and chips, mangoes and strawberries and banana crumble, and they think of all these as British.

    The British are not a single tribe, or a single religion, and we don't come from a sinle place. But we are building a home where we are all able to be who we want to be, yet still be British.
    That is what we do: we take, we adapt and we move forward.

    We are the British. we are Britian.
