Lizzies Question:

What is English culture?

Lizzies answer (amongst others).

Sid James.

Diane Easby's response:

Lizzie is wrong ... and out of two reasons one is that He was Jewish

It is all there in this thread.

Diane doesn't have a satisfactory explanation.

So she flails about desperately dredging up old posts of mine that she hasn't read properly, in the process embarrassing herself.

Truth is that it is as clear as the nose on barry manilows face that Diane is painting herself as an unapologetic closet racist though I feel it is more likely that she is just an adolescent minded snipe who has got herself out of her depth.

For the record.

Disraeli (A British Prime minister) was Jewish.

The South African, Jan Smuts, importance "to the Imperial war effort was emphasised by a quite audacious plan, proposed as early as 1940, to appoint Smuts as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, should Churchill die or otherwise become incapacitated during the war. This idea was put by Sir John Colville, Churchill's private secretary, to Queen Mary and then to George VI, both of whom warmed to the idea"

And perhaps this next point can be confirmed, but I seem to remember that he served as acting Prime minister (Of the UK) during the War while Churchill was away.

He was also Prime minister of South Africa and there is no confusion between that and the point above..

And Finally, another Prime minister (Tony Blair), much like the rest of England - particularly those in Manchester, had this to say about George Best.

"probably the most naturally gifted footballer of his generation and one of the best footballers our country has produced,"

George Best was Irish.

So am I.

He is an Icon of English football, and as I have opined to Lizzie, English Football is Central to English culture.

Prime Minister of the UK Diane is quite an important aspect of English Culture.
