Patriotism is the most deadly concept known to humanity. Patriots think it's admirable to be blown to bits for the sake of it. Some even rush to be blown to bits. Burn all the flags. Every single one of them.

I just had a look for the site I built for a tv presenter/comedian about 20 years ago. It seems he's basically become an unofficial speaker for the Church of England/street corner preacher. That's twice that's happened now. Need a website? I can provide the tech, but you might become a preacher.
