    no spin just English, a tax payer

    My post wasn’t a dig (sorry if it sounded like one) but a real question.

    Why do you think we have less ownership of the nation than in the past?

    Because EDF owns your electricity network and Suez much of your water, Foreigners own major share holdings in your other national champions and rich arabs own anything worth owning in London. Hospitals you used to own are leased back to you and if it can be privatised it has been. Blair sold your country and now you pay rent to those that bought it.

    Does this country care about its people any more?

    not our own maybe wasn’t the right way of making my point. My point is that we the English are becoming the minority, and my point of freedom speech is when the Anglian Guards came home after a tour of Afghanistan they were greeted with baby killers painted on protest boards and being abused by men in beards and wearing bed sheets. And what did the police do arrest the people who was trying stop them doing so.

    Was this because we actually DO have freedom of speech. You would rather have shut them up and in your fight to protect freedom of speech, deny someone who has an opposing view to you their freedom of speech?

    Well obviously it’s everyone else’s fault not yours, or is it? Where were your shoes made and where are your favourite shoot ’em up video games from. And which paper do you buy?

    Freedom of speech is a double edged sword as people use it to say things you both agree and disagree with. Like the man said: I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

    I agree that people protesting like that against soldiers are idiots for the simple reason that it’s the government they should be targeting for taking us into the war in the first place.

    The English are not a minority in England. A glance at the census will verify this and begs the question what qualifies you as English?

    abusing war heroes should be denied, and freedom of speech works when it suits. The time when it doesn’t suit is when its coming from a white guy talking about this country’s ethos and beliefs.

    America is weird. Whatever ills and differences of opinion there are in the USofA they all (well mostly) rally to that flag.

    There is a strong glue holding that place together. Perhaps that is what you are referring to when you suggest this country is not what it was?

    Best speech ever wrote

    This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom’

    ‘We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!’

    ‘Most English believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.’

    ‘We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.’

    ‘This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom,

    ‘THE RIGHT TO LEAVE’.’

    ‘If you aren’t happy here then LEAVE. We didn’t force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.’

    That’s 4×4 drivers for you.

    If you don’t live at the end of a long, unmade farm track, and you drive
    a 4×4, you’re not right in the head. You’ve already given the environment a grandiose two-fingered gesture, and any casual littering you do is merely the cherry on the cake.

    Just a thought that keeps on running through ones mind
    for what i am seeing day to day and talking to people
    mainly within London.
    The other day I was in Wapping and a guy bought his Fish & chips etc
    in a brand new Range Rover and finished his food and packed it nicely
    together and just thrown it out onto the pavement.
    Whats your thoughts on this.
    Just what is the mannerism of people where you are.

    Being in London they probably were not even from the uk.

    Last time I went, like any capital, there was more tourists and foreign workers than natives.

    I give a crap though, that’s why I want to move to a rural village, once of the last boltholes of britishness.

    Their error? The thing is, google only has 2 hits for that phrase, one this thread, the other totally unrelated (though the “speech” itself pops up all over the place). Are you sure you didn’t add that bit yourself?

    Why not follow that advice and take advantage of the freedom afforded you by this great country and just **** off somewhere else.

    As a scot how do i fit into your fears and hope Englander?

    Can’t believe nobody mentions the point the speech is making

    white Australians think they are English and ignore the plight of the Aborigines whose land they robbed whilst preaching to other people about how to treat the “lawful ” inhabitants of a country.

    This isn’t going to end well. I’m Welsh but my parents might not be off these shores. Can I stay?
    I fear for the future in a world of xenophobia and intolerance. Fortunately the Empire got so great by not learning local languages and teaching the natives English and imposing English values on them.

    I fear for this country when nasty xenophobes and bigots flourish. I am a proud briton and one of the things that makes Britain great is the tolerance and friendliness that seems to be disappearing under the relentless barrage of right wing propaganda

    It’s European integration. He went to Spain on holiday and noted everyone chucked their rubbish out of the train/bus/car window and thought it would be cool to do like the latins.

    It’s not European integration, it’s maintaining an ancient London tradition. The window-as-waste-disposal practice dates back to medieval times. The Range Rover driver was just expressing his love for this country by following in his forefathers’ footsteps.

    white Australians think they are English

    No, they (generally) don’t.
