AlanHo Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Goodbye to my England, So long my old friendYour days are numbered, being brought to an endTo be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fineBut don't say you're English, that's way out of line.The French and the Germans may call themselves suchSo may Norwegians, the Swedes and the DutchYou can say you are Russian or maybe a DaneBut don't say you're English ever again. At Broadcasting House the word is tabooIn Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament tooEven schools are affected, staff do as they're toldThey must not teach children about England of old.Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and ShawThe pupils don't learn about them anymoreHow about Agincourt, Arnhem or Mons ?When England lost hosts of her very brave sons. We are not Europeans, how can we be?Europe is miles away over the seaWe're the English from England, let's all be proudStand up and be counted - Shout it out loud ! Let's tell our Government and Brussels tooWe're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and BlueFly the flag of Saint George or the Union JackLet the world know - WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK !!!!..........................

catgate Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 What a disgustingly racist ode. In fact it is odious.You can not expect anyone to feel that way, surely? Not when English persons are in a minority in their own land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Of course it is ode-yush - it is a poem.Substitute Yorkshire for England and you would soon be on side.No, no, no. Yorkshire has never been part of England. For centuries we have let the English think it was, but the purity of our people is quite beyond belief, and goes back to the days when Adam was but a lad. You only need to look around Leeds at the Olde Englyshe Isaacs and the Finklsteins who have been Yorkshire tailors for years, and the Ancyente Brityshe Khans and the Chowdreys and the Akbars who have been in catering in Bradford for years, to see our heritage. What we Yorkshire people can not stand is the constant stream of Lancastrians coming over the hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 You can't help but notice that quite a few official form have a space to tick Welsh Irish Scottish or BRITISH. I always write on ENGLISH. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well apparently that nowadays to be a pure English person is to be a "Chav" because of our naturally strong will to defend for ourselves and not let anyone mess us around and another load of crap. . . If this is the case I'd rather think of myself as a Swede. I love the Swedish people, especially the female ones. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am first and foremost ENGLISH and proud to say so. British comes a long way behind. :D Where does chav come into the equation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 A girl or boy who likes to wear his or her trousers in their socks, hats pointing high, hands down their trousers, screaming and shouting and making the streets look like the sewers below them. I thought a Swede was a Swedish person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
