"So do you honestly think that someone who is leading projects that celebrate and preserve English culture is really objecting to anyone "daring" to talk about anything coming from, or belonging to England?"

Ruth, are you suggesting that before we respond to a post here we research the posters political history/viewpoint/credentials first?

Or is it ok to just read a post, evaluate it, decide if we agree or disagree and then respond appropriately?

Steve might well be the grand druid of glastonbury tor for all I know, but I don't think he was right to refer to the leveller as follows:

"Apart from a tiny bunch of BNP nutters, I see little sign of a third reich.
Leveller, that's near enough what people said in Germany in the 1920s."

I think an analytical comparison of modern britain and 1920's germany throws up many differences and that levellers comments are fair and supportable.

I would also say that I don't think Steve meant to chastise him particularly, nor indeed to be involved on such a poisonous level, or moreover to be used a political football.

You have much of value to offer, and it is disappointing when you follow up an interesting post with one for which you have dipped your quill in venom first.
