Glad you explained yourself JamesHenry, that's what I wanted to hear.
So you're basically saying then that the English can never again say they're proud to be English, as the Scottish, Irish or Welsh can, quite openly, for if they do those, what was it you said "the evil bastards in our society who beat the racist drum behind the banner of patriotism." will once more raise their ugly heads.

Well, we may as well all give up and go home then! I mean, if we're content to let The Evil Bastards win every time, never to sing songs about who we are, never to dare ever be allowed to be patriotic for fear of The Evil Bastards, what's the point?

They've won haven't they! The Good Men And True have all walked away into the mist of wimpishness called political correctness. Take down the flags, remove the history, prostrate yourself at all times JamesHenry, for that is the only way to be English in your opinion it would seem.

I care not what colour an Englishman's skin is, but I care about the state of his soul and what he believes in, and I believe he/she has a right to be proud of who they are and what their country stands for in the world.

So tell me, what do you think people think of these days, when they think of England?
