Subject: RE: Outlook on England
Hang on a mo, Bryn. This is a guy that seems to be linked with the Birmingham St George's Day Association, under the leadership of Carl Chinn, BBC broadcaster and historian, devoted Brummie and editor of the Brummagem Magazine. Kerfuffle seem to have appeared at the St George's Day event, the local Roundheads and Cavaliers Associations are linked (as folky as they come!), and so on. I am not saying that one shouldn't be wary, but rather that we should count to ten before judgement. Our own fear is what I am afraid of. If only because by lashing out blindly we damage friend and foe alike, we spend our effort shooting down the wrong targets, and eventually invalidate our own cause or even worse, run the risk of pushing people into the arms of the extremists.

Let's keep calm and evaluate.
