Is of course St. George's day and is a cause to celebrate all things English.it is interesting to see that this year there appears to have been a bit of a turnaround with many events being organsied across the country to celbrate today. This contrasts markedly with previous years where the day has almost been seen as a taboo subject for fear of upsetting someone who is not English but chooses to live in England.
England may not be perfect, it does house some racists - both pro & anti white, it may have a declining world status, but it is my home and I'm proud of it.
And did those feet in ancient timeWalk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear! O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire.
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

One of my favorite verses is from Rudyard Kipling's 'Puck of Pook Hill':
"See you the little mill that clacks so busy by the brook?
"She has ground her corn and paid her tax ever since Domesday Book."
To me this speaks of normal life going on in England for centuries . . . I don't care that it might be silly of me . . . I like it.

Happy Belated St. George's Day, Paul! There will always be an England. Glad that the day seems to have received its due this year.

Given whats going on in the union, I don't find it surprising that the English are becoming more belligerent in their self indulgence. Its about time too if you ask me. Listening to Alec Salmond on BBC R4, I can't but help notice that he is a Scottish nationalist railing against yet another Scottish prime minister, yet refering to 'England'.
