Subject: RE: England My England
I am very proud to be English. I don't give a shit where GBS came from ,or whether or not St George ever trod this sceptred isle; Jesus certainly didn't either, but that hasn't affected the millions of Christians who rejoice here. Harold's defeat at Hastings was actually a giant leap forward for this country ,thanks to the French--our current Sovereign,who comes from a long line of Germans, is married to a Greek. Complex,isn't it ?? But that's England for you !!
-----and I am PROUD to be a part of it.
            By the way, Fascism has bugger all to do with it: if you don't know what the word means, then please don't use it, it just causes offence, and can lead to anger, resentment, and, regrettably, legal action.
