St George Revival

[AlanHo]

I imagine this may have been on here before - but a reminder of the sentiment is still not out of place. I meant to post this on St George's day - but forgot

Goodbye to my England , so long my old friend.

Your days are numbered, being brought to an end.

To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine,

But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.

The French and the Germans may call themselves such,

So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch

You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane

But don't say you're English ever again.

At Broadcasting House the word is taboo

In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too

Even schools are affected, staff do as they're told

They must not teach children about England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw

The pupils don't learn about them any more.

How about Agincourt, Hastings , 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 sea

We're the English from England , let's all be proud

Stand up and be counted – SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!

Let's tell our Government and Brussels too

We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue

Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack

Let the world know - WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK!!!!

I put it down to the "Auld Enemy" in Westminster.

I am ENGLISH, not British or European. :D

ERm! the Union flag includes all the home countries flags

Oh! and a belated Happy St Georges day to our English cousins from Scotland
