A great story of St. Edmund, and one to let your kids listen to. It's been made by kids in school, and although the story is a tad more far-fetched than normal, it tells it from our point of view and contains no politically correct bullshit.

"William the Conqueror had turned the English out of their birthrights; and compelled them for necessity to be servants to him and to his Norman soldiers" - Gerrard Winstanley
We always have been, we are, and I hope that we always shall be detested in France - Duke of Wellington
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society... then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them... We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."

Great stuff SN. Really enjoyable. After listening to that I want Edmund for our PS more than ever (even though I'm no christian - talk about reconciling two mutually exclusive propositions! 
)
Would we drop the current national flag?

What's in a name? Names express ideas, and he who uses wrong names is not likely to have right ideas. Britain [is] a geographical name. England is the land of the English. It is important [we] never apply the names England or English to the land or people of Britain in the days before the land became England by the English people settling in it.

St Edmund certainly seems to be a much more worthy patron saint than St George.
I like the idea of the combination flag too.

Not sure about this Wada. This is another 'british'- Englisc identity crisis in the making if you ask me. I recently e-mailed Em Marshall, the wonderful young organizer of the English Music Festival, about the dangers of her website interweaving the two, referring to organizing a society of modern 'british' composers like it was part of some Faustian quid pro quo for being allowed to talk about a culture of our own.
What I wrote was:
"A nation is an organic thing. Its identity comes in part from the associations of a name. To have more than one name is to imply more than one identity, to the detriment of both since the suggestion of indecision, even confusion, inclines the rest of the world to switch off.
Opponents will yield when they conclude resistance to be a waste of time, and they will only do that when popular endorsement effectively removes all doubt as to how we see ourselves. Nations are singular beasts. National identity is a singular beast. You may choose which you prefer - but you may choose only one."
A St Edmund flag superimposed on a standard belonging to the chap who took his job (without our say-so)? Sounds a wrong 'un to me. Sorry.

I agree.
Great choice of words.
I think making an effort to adapt or entirely change a national flag would display uncertainty and confusion in relation to permanent identity.
In order for people to recognise their national identity, and to become conscious to the fact they're English, the fundaments of our identity and the symbols that display it need to stand in foundations of stone.
Uncertainty supports the multi-culti, Britainised views that anyone can be English. If we are not solid in our standings, how can those who are unsure be made certain?
I like the flag for St. Edmund, but I don't think our current flag should be dropped for it, although in my opinion, it could be used similarly to flags and banners such as the white dragon, as a flag of English identity, but not the major flag of our country.

Antony,
I was only thinking of the flag being flown on St Edmund's Day and not as a full-time replacement for the Cross of St George.
An excellent letter to Em Marshall. Oh how I wish I had the same way with words as you do and that's a genuine compliment.
Wada.

I reckon the CoSG is here to stay one way or another. There is however nothing wrong with flying the White Dragon, St. Edmund Standard etc along side it as well as other banners of the Englisc.
