Subject: RE: JusticeForEngland, English protest songs
I don't know who the freedom association are either but this is NOT their site anyway. There is a link to their site, along with a link to Connexus web hosting and the Englsh music festival. Are all these nasty right wing organisations?

I followed the link by the way. All I could see was an association founded in 1975 by a guy who has won a VC and the McWhirter twins (Of Guiness book of records fame). It must have been shortly after it's formation that Ross McWhirter was shot by the IRA although I don't know if that is in any way significant. The organisation now seems primarily concerned with getting the UK out of the EU. There is no sign, as far as I can see, of any hidden facist agenda.

I say the UK specificaly above to answer the question someone raised about who was suggesting that England does not exist. Well, try the EU. Scotland and Wales are both countries in their own rights according to the EU because they have their own governments or assemblies. England is not classed as a country because it does not have a government. I am in no way suggesting that anything should change for the other British countries. I am not decrying anything they have done. All I am asking for is the same treatment for England.

Cheers
