ladyram Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Good on anybody celebrating being English today.Yes English. Not French, German or Serb or Croat or Polish - or Scottish, Welsh or Irish. But English. No. Not being racist. But we celebrate other stuff like Divali & St Patrick's Day - nowt wrong with raising a glass to our own Patron Saint. Imo we don't celebrate it enough. Time to get rid of us going about it quietly, it needs to be cheered. Loads of people celebrating in pubs in Derby tonight, good on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbeard Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Goodbye to my England-So long my old friend Your days are now numbered, being brought to an end To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh, that’s just fine But don’t say you’re English, that’s way out of line. The French and the Germans may call themselves such, As may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch, You can say you are Russian, or maybe a Dane. But don’t say you’re English, ever again At Broadcasting House that word is taboo In Brussels they’ve scrapped it, in Parliament too, Even schools are affected, staff do as they’re told, They mustn’t teach children about the England of old Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw Do the pupils not learn about them anymore? How about Agincourt, Hastings ,Arnhem or Mons When England lost hosts of her very brave sons? We are not Europeans how can we be? Europe is miles away, over the sea, We’re the English from England, let’s all be proud- Stand up and be counted- shout it out loud! Let’s tell our government-and Brussels too- Were proud of our heritage and the Red White and Blue. Fly the flag of St. George or the Union Jack. Let the world know- WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK!
