I studied Shakespeare's King Henry V for A- level in the 1980s. I don't think it was one of his better plays, though with political correctness these days I'd be surprised if it was still on the curriculum. Have we lost what it means to be English, just as Swedes are undergoing the same identity crisis in their country, has our nation been so diluted over the past 50 years that we're no longer proud of our history and traditions, or will Brexit begin a resurgence in nationalist feeling that our institutions of parliamentary democracy, the established church and monarchy are once again worth fighting for?

[lookout]

This is not the country I recognise from my younger years any more and I don't like what I see.

I think it's time to rebrand.

I think it's time to rebrand.

Rebrand how exactly? Abolish the monarchy, abolish the House of Lords, abolish the established church, abolish faith schools, abolish the blasphemy law (shameful this has already occurred), abolish the BBC, legalize drugs, allow Sharia law, censor the internet, allow open borders.

Do we have a country left worth fighting for?

George drwg, fe laddodd y ddraig.

Rebrand how exactly?

That is a great question. I have some ideas. One thing's for certain. It seems like we are members of the Divided Kingdom instead of the United Kingdom. Unless this in itself is an illusion, something has gone badly awry.

That's another gripe I have: teachers of Welsh extraction are welcome to apply for jobs in England, but not vice versa unless you have a qualification in the Welsh language.

Nid oes gennyf amser i eistedd yn y carchar ar draul y trethdalwr. Efallai y byddaf yn dysgu trawiad pan fyddaf yn ymddeol o'r gwaith
