Patriotism the Old Testament way
Josh Hinton, of LICC writes, "For ancient Israel, being a godly nation meant existing for the benefit of others. I am a very English person. I like my tea hourly, my humour subtle, and my picnics in the car. I grew up on a diet of PG Wodehouse, Commando comics, and World Cup football failure. The sight of a London bus, a National Trust scone, or my native Yorkshire’s rolling hills brings a swell of national pride to my chest.
As a result, I’m generally game for a good old flag-wave. So why has the recent appearance of Union Jacks and St George’s Crosses around my town filled me with unease rather than joy?
