We have come a long way since Dickens.
But we still have our very old culture that's never going to go away. We trace our lineage back to Stonehenge and beyond. We are actually a melting pot of immigrants and assimilated invaders. They did a survey of DNA here a few years ago and mine came back the same as my surname Norman/Scottish.
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
