It is quite amazing that a small island has had so much of an influence on the world.

It is such a shame that people now equate patriotism with vile organisations like the BNP. Patriotism isn't xenophobia.

Being English is about humour, tolerance, fortitude, stoicism, adventurousness, fairness and getting things done.

And the people,

Winston Churchill, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Charles Darwin, Dickens, William Shakespeare, Sir Isaac Newton, Horatio Nelson, Bernard Montgomery, John Churchill, James Cook, William Wilberforce - I could write this list all day (I hope they are all English - Still I embrace the UK to include any of these)

Many Patronages of Saint George exist around the world, including: Georgia, England, Egypt, Bulgaria, Aragon, Catalonia, Romania, Ethiopia, Greece, India, Iraq, Israel, Lithuania, Portugal, Serbia, Ukraine and Russia,

The Georgia flag as very close to our own.........

Margaret Thatcher...

And the anthem.

British and Willing to stand up for it!
If we choose to fly our flag in Our Country then it is our business!

The EDL had their annual march in Brighton last week. Some thought the Royal Pavilion was a Mosque and were a little upset!!!! Bless em!



Everyone knows it's actually a Synagogue

That's his opinion but I completely disagree. I'm hugely proud to be English.

Yeah .

I still say it was not the dragons fault! All those maidens poking around and waking them up..... No wonder they got bloody eaten!

This is true but I would tend to think more about the bad things such as slavery and empire .

And who abolished slavery?

so that makes the UK's part in it all right then ?

Thats a moronic comment. Slavery had been around since the ancient Egyptians - Used by Romans, any large country/civilisation was involved for over thousands of years - Some are still enslaving now...............

Britain stopped slavery as a wholesale business and then made sure it didn't return, so instead of being proud that we stopped it you think about the part played. Strange way of thinking.................
