mate, it was originally about what he FELT he was and what he felt a connection to. He's Welsh , and Wales is part of Britain, therefore he's British, but what does "British" mean?
Does he feel more English, Scots or Irish than he does Italian?
I think we should move on from this, but the only people who ever protest about this "British" thing are More often than not English. I don't see Scots , Welsh and Irish being so passionate about it. I wonder why?? just curious.
I supported Scotland, Wales and Ireland (I'm more Irish than Calzaghe is Italian) in the football when I was a kid. Growing up in multicultural London that was the done thing, it was encouraged in school. My millions of pals weren't just sweaties, taffs and paddies but from all over the planet (my great American school mate, Chuck, (kid you not) was in Superman 4).

It was only as I got older I realised everyone hates the English.

So if it's only the English that make everyone get in line with the Brit ting, we have good reason.
