Thread Name: BS: Justice For England, English protest songs
Subject: RE: Justice For England, English protest songs
Why am I being accused of wanting to sing the praises of thieving selfish hypocrites or whetever the term was, Jack. I do prefer to use first names than surnames by the way - so much frinedlier don't you think? Anyway, why do automaticaly assume that because I have a modicum, and that is all it is, of national pride that I want to praise anything other than the good things about England. Or do you really believe that ALL the English are thieving selfish hypocrites?

If I remember correctly one of the aspects of facism, so often quoted here, is the firm belief that one is in someway superior to everyone else. I don't think any of the arguments for the 'justice for England' campaign or those supporting the SoH song have shown any such trait. I do not want anything more than the rest of the union gets. I do not want to be thought of in any way superior to anyone. But then again I don't think it right to be treated as an inferior either. Do you?

Mr Fox - "Not ANOTHER attempt by the far right to hijack English folk music." Yes, you are quite right. It isn't.

Cheers

Dave
