Subject: RE: JusticeForEngland, English protest songs
I don't believe I'm being taken in Countess Richard, but I'm with you all the way regarding democratic rights to everyone on Both Sides Of The Tweed, something which unfortunately we really don't have, also regarding the hijacking of English trad for the loathsome few who preach racial superiority. I do worry however that whenever I want to celebrate my English heritage (although of course with a surname like mine you can also see my Irish Heritage, and my mother being a Brown, my Scottish heritage) by showing George's flag, I am perceived as being racially abusive. Some do abuse it, but there is a vast majority who shouldn't be painted with that same brush. I just want to celebrate in the same manner as the Scots, Welsh and Irish do.

Finally, I also agree that this should be below the line.
