Absolutely nothing to do with nv. But WHY ?

I didn't vote for Brexit, but I accept the decision of the majority without question and agree that we should just get on with it.
My real issue is with nationalism which, without exception, is BAD thing.
Never confuse patriotism and nationalism - they are entirely different.
Patriotism is a pride in one's country. pride in it's achievemts, it's people and it''s values.
Nationalism is an insular view of the world where a nationalists country is at the centre of his universe and it has to be defended from all those nasty outsiders. that are causing all the problems.

" It's OUR country, it belongs to the folk who voted for brexit."

It absolutely does NOT belong to the folk who voted for Brexit - it belongs to ALL citizens of the UK, whether they voted for Brexit or not.

Correct Bruce, and that includes the ones that DID vote for brexit, the majority as it happens.

Various definitions of it Bruce, not all so bad. Unfortunately it's the likes of Sturgeon that give it a bad name.

Simple Definition of nationalism

: a feeling that people have of being loyal to and proud of their country often with the belief that it is better and more important than other countries
