    Maybe some of them would. But not enough of them to actually win a referendum on it. Those that do want it, **** 'em.

    I think I know where the UKIP are going to get their next manifesto from: http://explorersfoundation.org/archi...ere_primer.pdf


    Anglo-Saxonism relied on underlying assumptions of an Anglo-
    Saxon race, and sought to unite racial "cousins." It saw the British
    Empire and the United States (and sometimes also the Germans)
    as the building blocks of the Anglo-Saxon club, which in most
    proposed versions was some species of framework for mediating
    conflicts of interest between the building blocks.
    Today's Anglospherists see immigrants forming a new layer of
    intra-Anglosphere ties, as the East and South Asian, Caribbean,
    and Mediterranean origins of immigrants throughout the
    Anglosphere create new cross-relationships.

    More seriously, the US, Canada, the UK, NZ, Australia and Canada, in this context.
    Its actually a real word, as such, which I've never heard before although it seems to have been made up by a writer. Are you sure about Canada though seeing as some of them would rather be in the Francosphere and the USA is becoming more and more of a Hispanosphere?

    It's all Maureen Lipman's fault.

    I was actually thinking about this when observing some senior managers where I work. I doubt this is really that much of a new thing. There's always been workaholics and people who enjoy working; I don't think it necessarily depends on the nature of the job. They probably make it more tolerable by making their work and social lives co-extensive. Personally, I prefer for there to be a separation between them.
