Supernova Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 England my England 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 !!!! :( :( :( :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JillyBeanz Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 What a great poem - and one I am sure that all from the UK echo. The UK, once a mighty empire, is steadily dwindling and waiting to be swallowed up itself by Europe - leave my sterling alone - I don't want to pay for my purchases in Euros!

Joolesgreyuk Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I think I've had this poem sent to me by email before although I could be wrong but it is a good one and rings very true. It is true that much of our lives are dictated by Brussels but it is OUR goverment who signed papers allowing them to do so in fact the latest papers were signed by none other than Gordan Brown, who sneaked off and signed them on the quiet, the vast majority of British people knew nothing of it until they'd been signed. This year there will be a general election, it is up to us to let him know if we are gonna put up with his sh** any longer! Sorry to get all political but it makes me so...{Emotions-00020077} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
