    About this ebook

    Many people in Britain have not thought that much about Britishness until now just when we fear it is being snatched away. When our liberty is at stake do we just lie down and roll over?

    Bombarded by the media of what we should and shouldn't do, are we forgetting what is really important in life? We all want so much, yet need so little.

    The British people have always had a unique character but are we becoming a risk averse nation afraid of our own shadow, or when the going gets tough can the great legendary British spirit be revived and our national pride restored?

    A heartfelt and thought provoking account of what is disappearing from the British way of life.
