Subject: RE: The re-Imagined Village
off the top of my head - traditional Christmas celebrations being curtailed, as they may offend some of the ethnic groups now living in England.

Er - that's just a myth, WAV; if you can prove otherwise, please give evidence. And supposing it was true, are not those Ethnic Groups Now Living in England just as representative of an actual English Culture as the Imported Christmas Celebrations supposedly being suppressed for fear of causing offence? Or would you apply racist divisions on what actually constitutes English Culture? Obviously you do, otherwise you would not have written what you have. Thus do I call you a Racist. Your post here only serves to confirm that.

English country dancing and folk songs either no longer being taught at English schools or certainly far less than they were say half way through last century.

All the English Country Folk Dance & Song Shit taught in schools was tenth-rate revivalist Bowdlerised bourgeois bullshit anyway. English Culture - and Education - is better off without it.

So how are we suffering, WAV? Do tell!
