Having been born into Great Britain many years ago my citizenship was decided but recently I have felt more and more detached from the country of my birth, whose government I did not vote for, and whose policies make me ashamed to be British. The government has not only stood by as the Israelis have been committing genocide in Gaza but they have been aiding and abetting it in this illegal act by supplying the Israelis with aid and intelligence and may therefore be guilty itself of war crimes. On top of this it is prostituting itself to a corrupt regime in Kyiv and pitching at a disastrous European war.
The country that I grew up in under Churchill, Atlee, MacMillan and Wilson has disappeared into the long grass where pygmies of the political arts stumble about from crisis to crisis shaming the name of Great Britain and meanwhile steer the sinking hulk to financial disaster. My country where art thou?
