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 anymore 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 !!!!
This writer called Shaw, which one is that? It wouldn't be the Irish fella George Bernard Shaw would it?
RE: This writer called Shaw, which one is that? its OK, he's kind of pseudo English, cos he's not black, innit.
"The red, white and blue" "fly the Union Jack" So British then, not English! Battle of Mons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mons "they requested reinforcement from the 2nd Battalion Royal Irish." "the 2nd Battalion of the Royal Munster Fusiliers, in a classic rearguard action, held nine German battalions" Munster - that's in Ireland! Arnhem - The unit was eventually used during Operation Market Garden in 1944. The Poles were initially landed by glider from the 18th September, whilst due to bad weather over England, the Parachute section of the Brigade was held up, and jumped on the 21st September at Driel on the South bank of the Rhine. The Poles suffered significant casualties during the next few days of fighting. Do you want it pulling apart any further?
Harold Godwinson (Hastings) was Norwegian as was his cousin Tostig, whom he fought at stamford bridge, and Duke William the ******* who defeated Harold at Hastings.
RE: Harold Godwinson (Hastings) was Norwegian Yep. All a carefully crafted plot to nick our Cod stocks.</p> Buggers. </p>
Shakespeare isn't taught any more? I believe you have your facts wrong there my friend. Oh well I'll go and buy a boat and fly the union jack to prove that i'm erm British rather than English?
Aye, give England back.... To the work shy, lazy, beer swilling, loutish, disrespectful, racist, homophobic, half-wits that we have become. Shakespeare would be so proud of us, eh?
