Brave Englishmen are flying the St. George's Cross flag, red and white, marching lockstep down England's roads, singing the old songs of England, and united as one people, one God, for the Queen and St. George!  Everywhere the Red and White is much in evidence, banners snap in the breeze, and entire legions of Englishmen are on the march.  War cries are rising from hundreds of stout English throats!

Does it sound like I'm describing the Holy Crusader Army departing for Antioch?  Well, I'm not!  I'm describing what I saw regularly on the news, as Anti-Muslim protests flare up in Merrie Olde England.  

We have come full circle and England is once again about to war with their old enemies the Saracen hordes, this time on their own territory.  How does this make everyone feel?  Are you bemused or gladdened to see the old Crusader spirit reviving among the English?  Are you English?  Are you battling the Muslim horde?  

Tell us your stories and opinions!

But not for long!  Apparently, England is under invasion from the Muslim hordes now.  Or, at least, that's what the BNP says.

[Pebbles]

I am English and I live in England.

What you describe is a vast overstatment.

Whats happening is a small minority group of rasicts are trying to make trouble.   they are about as popular as the BNP Its certainly not everywhere.






Oh yes the flags are everywhere   but ya know  the Euro football is still on  - yes we may be out now.   Oh and then theres the Jubilee  and don't forget the olympics   ok so we should be flying the union flag for those but if you only have the English one...

Not everywhere, certainly not everywhere.  As you may have noticed, I did not say THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND has risen!  

I've been watching the news on my iPad for the past few months, however, and the legionary Englishmen shouting about ENGLAND FOR THE ENGLISH as they pile down the streets of London and whatnot have been very much in evidence, alongside the talking heads that insist England will be under Sharia Law in about a month or so...

And about those Olympics...I hear that MI5 has practically mobilized a tiny army themselves.  People are concerned about all the UAVs, firearms, and checkpoints.

LOL, NO.  God, no.  That's....ugh.

     actually they are saying that for the last several years without it getting any closer to happening.   Its one hell of a long month.


So you have been watching some overblown news that hype up certain areas for sensationialism.  


as to the Olympics well there are certain groups that don't like us.   there are many groups that don't like the US either.   the olympics make a good target because a terroist attack there would make global news big time and cause mass terror.    but that don't mean the terroists would have to live in the UK.

well thats something then.   but it really sounds like you're taking their (and other similar frindge groups) actions and suggesting that this is a majority view or even a widespread problem.


As someone who lives in london and watches local and regional news I can tell you its not that big an issue.

So the state government of Arizona took over England?

I think it's a disease. They're sure to develop a vaccine for it.

I would much rather it remain a small-scale thing, thank you.  I'm not comfortable at all with the idea of it becoming a countrywide phenomenon.  If the BNP saw me, I'd be hanging from a yardarm.

[RWHamel]

I've been told it's hanged from the yardarm, but I contend that since executions aboard ships happened several hundred years ago, that they said hung from the yardarm, because shipboard English is different.

well if a Mosque or community centre opens up  there's sometimes a protest march.    and a bigger multi coloured anti protest protest march kept seperate by a line of police.

of course every time it happens a lot of news corps only show the Protest march - it makes for better sensaonalisum and fear thus selling papers / viewers.


what the news doesn't show is the vast majourity of interactions between White people and brown people where not even a nasty word or look happens.

What you are describing is what happens when an international football competition is going on.

And it doesn't mean they aren't living here either. Both are possibilities.

That's the Ministry of Defence. They are the ones who control armed forces. The security service (MI5) are not an armed force, they are investigators.

I saw that Channel 4 were showing their programme about mulitculturalism and national identity in Bradford again last night. I've yet to see it. Anyone else seen it? Is it any good? A colleague of mine who is from Bradford said it was quite heavy-handed and not all that thoughtful.
