   My own list would have Justin at the top because as a kid he did live in Leicestershire for a few years and also despite the fact that this person wasn’t born in England I would include the late great Freddie Mercury.

   what about:
   Spike Milligan
   David Cameron (only to give him false hope that some fucker likes him)
   The NHS
   The world wide web courtesy of Mr Tim Berners-Lee from Manchester
   the list is endless so lets face it, we are all fucking brilliant.
   except for those middle class youths who talk like they grew up in the ghetto “innit”. They, are just twats.

   They built an empire through barbaric arrogance, crapped on the world, lost the empire, and but are still able to maintain the pretence of being better than anyone else.

  We didn’t lose it, we gave it back so we could sit and laugh at you all as you made a fucking mess of it, and we are still laughing at you. Not to your face though, because that just isn’t cricket.

  Oh, add cricket to the list

   I love them because they have the developed ear.

   They accept both very good music and not very good one so widely.
   They have a ear that will never be tired of hearing abusive language.

   And they make you witty man!

    You’re missing all the great Brians: Blessed, Clough, Cant and Moore. The football commentator one, not the rugby player. Though he’s a decent chap.

    Love Stanley Spencer. Stevie Smith would be on my list not waving but drowning. William Golding and his heart of darkness too. Philip Larkin was too fucked up by his parents to make my list. I’d have to pick Ted Hughes for understanding that there is no sophestry in being hawkish.
