WHAT is the BBC playing at? It has decided that to call us "British" is offensive and we are no longer a "nation".

BBC controller Philip Harding should note that in a recent Foreign Office survey 87 per cent still felt substantially British.

Last year's Runnymede Trust survey confirmed most under 25s are no different, but the BBC ignores the majority and uses licence-payers' money towards imposing unwanted European Citizenship in education programmes.

The address for complaints is: Broadcasting House, London W1A 1AA, or you can E-mail: vlc@bbc.co.uk.
