Remember Remember the 4th of November... Wow, who would have though it, a Blackman in the Whitehouse. Even I had a tear over that speech. There was a superb picture on the front of The Times the day before the vote of both candidates silhouetted, as black as the night, wearily walking up to the lectern one last time to implore votes ...

Patriotism has become quite an obscure concept within Britain since joining the EU, we have basically given our country over as if it is not actually a country anymore but rather a state within Europe. Firstly I believe patriotism is over in Britain because to become British you don't actually have to do anything, if you come from another ... Read the complete review

Let me start by saying I LOVE Britain and absolutely NO offense is intended. But as much as I love Britian, I do not understand it on many levels. Those of you familiar with my reviews probably realise I am American, and possibly aware I grew up mostly on Army bases where flag and country were very important. This is all very true, from standing ... Read the complete review

I thought that it might be an opportune time to start a discussion on this topic as with a world cup fast approaching we are soon to see an abundance of English flags bearing the cross of St George all over cars and house windows as well as the rather unsavoury sight in my opinion of people wearing my countries flag as a pair of shorts something I ...

Just a short review on this website ?Cross of St George?, yes, in the vastness of Cyberspace, this small and unique site is devoted to the cause of English Nationalism! North of the border ask someone his/her nationality ? Scottish, rarely is the word British used, it is the same in Wales, they consider themselves Welsh! Nothing wrong with ...

With the European Football Tournament of Euro 2004 now in full swing it is almost impossible to walk down any High Street and not see a St Georges Flag flying from a car window. Or look at those houses with the Red and White hanging from the windows above. So what has happened? ... Read the complete review

There I am today, driving along on the M6 on my way to a footie game, listening to Talk Sport and the debate is on a subject close to everyone's heart right now - immigration. Caller after caller is ringing in to express concern at the situation re asylum seekers although the recognised angst is more around illegal immigration than the ... Read the complete review

I will soon be thrown out of my country... Is there a country, ready to adopt me, I mean ready to take me in? I am currently in India... And people here dislike me for more than one reason... See, I do not watch all those movies made on national heroes... I do not like the political leaders of my country... I do not sit ... Read the complete review

Here is a poem on the difficulty of speaking about Patriotism written after listening to the composer Elgar. Enigma Never were emotions deep as these; for other men can speak of love of country; but can we? Whatever binds us to this soil - whether it be blood or toil ? our feelings run ...

OK, now, I didn't originally intend to write my opinion here. I wrote an opinion some time ago on this subject under a then available category on Asylum/Immigration. For whatever reason, this category has "vanished". Actually, I can still see it under the list of opinions I have written but now, for some mysterious ... Read the complete review

...actually, I don't. I don't particularly care one way or another. But before I proceed, I'd best backtrack and explain a bit. The title of this essay is the first line of Norway's national hymn, and it translates to "yes, I love this land". Fairly direct, really. The Norwegians are beyond -or rather below- ...

I was born in britain but my family descends from the indian sub continent from the disputed Kashmir region. My Parents and relatives came here in search of work and to escape poverty. When my parents came here, they lived in a house with my uncle, my father found some work in a brickyard. Everyone was nice to them and respected them. ... Read the complete review

How bad is the future where you cannot say which nationality you are for fear of being stereotyped and pigeon-holed. What a state this country is in where they stop us from saying we are English and displaying a St George's Cross on our house. O.K. it's all right when the footballs on and when we're doing well in cricket, but ... Read the complete review

Let us re-claim the cross of St George As the rightful flag of the English. The union flag has been highjacked by right wing fascist groups like the BNP and Neo-Nazis. Groups that preach racism, conflict, urban terrorism and hate. Historically The Union Jack is a symbol of British Imperialism throughout the world and has been for centauries. ...

Bernard Manning got into some strife for his gag about the birthplace of a dog. I'm not a fan of the lard arse comic, so I'll paraphrase instead. 'Just because a dog is born in a stable doesn't make him a horse' I was born In Leeds. I'm a Leeds lass for sure, but did my birthplace confirm that, or do I lay ... Read the complete review

I did it for money. I did not like them at all; the strange clothes, the odd headgear and those awful beards. Their lack of comprehensible English. But what really put me off about hese guys was just knowing how much they hate me and my world-the American way of life, my very way of life. I guess that is what put me off the most.

As I write this I am asking myself one question:- who invented the Essex Girl Myth? I cannot believe it was either a ‘Girl’ or anyone from Essex! That leaves us to presume it is someone who is male and not from our beloved county! Someone who has either never been here, or has at some point in time been dumped by someone who ...

In light of recent events in Afganistan I find myself asking questions about patriotism and whether or not I would still fight and die for the country in which I was born and live. In the papers recently we have all read the articles and interviews of several BRITISH citizens saying that they would kill British Soldiers and die for Islam ... Read the complete review
