The British
A student asked me what made me British and I gave a potted history of the last 2,000 years. Here is a famous British poet's answer to what makes British people. His name is Benjamin Zephaniah, A recipe for 60,000,000 British people - 2,000 years of immigration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq13dvtZjP4
Why is Cultural Diversity a positive thing?
