There are a lot of English who are ripe for recruitment out there. During the last month I have spent a lot of time on the Daily Mails website commenting on various stories especially the devolution issue Re' the Scot's. Maybe some on here have been reading the comments, if so, they will see that an overwhelming majority of posts by English contributors are extremely vitriolic towards Scots and their attitude towards us, and vice versa. 99% of English contributors just want rid of them and their constant whining about how badly they have [mistakenly] been treated.......that's a laugh and a half!!
The Patronising attitude of our MP's towards English People and England in general is very apparent, they have systematically taken us for granted, playing on that typical English trait of complacency. If only a prominent MP or respected figure in the Media spotlight would come out and at least try to formulate a new Party then we could rid ourselves of the Lib/Lab/Cons into the dustbin of history.

Spot on Guy, and well done with the comments mate.

I think that though we feel many of our views are ignored the Daily Mail will, I believe, be using these views as a kind of sounding board so they know what view their readers have and thus what opinions to post in the paper.

That's exactly what I feel they are doing. Some equally important stories seem to have a cut off point, when trying to post a comment you look at the timing of the last one and see that nothing has been posted for ages. The Various stories regarding Scottish Independence and other associated stories just go on and on, Yes, they do seem to be sounding us out!
I've had a good session on there this afternoon, again pointing out to them that many Lowland Scots have Anglo-Saxon blood running through their veins and of course reminding them that Edinburgh is named after an Anglo-Saxon.........and again it has not brought forth any denials from any of them [so far] I must have really hit a sore point with them, but we know they don't like the truth when confronted with it, they just play on the "I'm a victim".

I remember back in 2005, i was in edinburgh overnight , when i was in a taxi, as usual you re asked where you come from etc etc, and of course, hailing from bradford, one subject that comes up concerning bradford is our lovely asian "friends" (cough cough, not).
And it took a scotsman to point out what we all know on here about these invaders and their claims of britshness,  he said, "if a pig is born in a stable does that make it a horse"?  
Could nt have said it better myself, thank fuck more and more real english people are waking up to this bullshit

One of the best and most original arguments I've heard against the idea of Englishness, is this: 'The English are a mongrel race, made of Angles, Saxons, Jutes and then Normans, with some Celts thrown in. So there's no such thing as English.'
It amused me greatly, I laughed long and hard as I went to retrieve myh axe from the clown's skull -  as it has done the other 1000 times it's been trotted out, along with words like 'Nazi' and 'fascist'. They tried to pretend they have a point in saying this, but what it is, neither they nor I know.....

Most of Europe can be classed as 'mongrel' but does anyone deny the French their right to call themselves French? Or German? How about the Scots? Does anyone question them with 'but what does that mean, exactly? You're a bunch of mongrels! You don't have an identity.'

We know, with little doubt, who our ancestors are, so why this huge debate from all over the world about who the English are?! FFS.

( As for Bradford.....I once landed at Birmingham coach station, wanted to find my way to the train station, and couldn't find a single person who spoke good enough English to tell me.)

Scotland is saying it wants to be part of Scandinavia. I'm of the opinion it wouldn't do us any harm either.....

Then its fucked........ Personally, i'm so glad i was in, when i was, it was still an Army then, and not a Liberalised carbon copy of the fucked up Civilian society it is supposed to be serving..........

Much like the so-called Navy 'Laughing stock' and the so-called RAF................

I say laughing stock since its not even a real fleet any longer, and its opponents simply laugh at it, including the pirates who have their hands slapped before being realised with supplies and water and medical assistance...

Its a fucking JOKE it really is!!

I had the mongrol insult thrown at me the other week.
I asked if he meant in the same way as someone with a white father and black mother would be a mongrol.  That screwed the pratt up straight away.
So I pushed him to answer, which he wouldnt.
If an Englishman with other white ancestors are mongrols then so is someone with black and white parents surely.  But the PC muppets know that they are falling into a trap of being racist if they say 'yes they are mongrols' so they get flustered.

Of course I dont call them mongrols though may think them to be, much more so then someone with white parents.

Our identity comes from a handful of ancient warring tribes, tribes who eventually yielded their seperate identities for the cause of national unity, or nationhood. That all happened well over a thousand years ago. We ain't changing because some poxy political party decides to import cheap labour and then gets carried away with it, and orders a rewrite of our identity. They'll be staring at the point of a sword pretty soon methinks.

This is an extract from a History post I did. The post is an Introduction to our History, so I have not gone into things deeply. The idea was for a post for those unaware of early English history and new to the subject.

The Angles, Saxons and Jutes were a very closely related group of Germanic tribes who lived adjacent to each other on the Jutland peninsular (modern Denmark) and north west Germany. Their languages, cultures and beliefs were virtually inseparable and they shared both common forefathers and a tribal and clan heritage. Intermarriage between these closely related tribes was not unusual (it was common) nor was warfare. These tribes would come together to invade the former Roman Province of Britain and carve out a homeland. They would name this homeland after the confederate tribal identity name they gave themselves, ‘Anglecynn’ (English people/folk/kin) the land came to be called England, land of the English/English-land. They would develop a unique English civilisation, and in the centuries to come their descendants (ethnic/indigenous English, of which you and I are) would change the face of world.
These our forefathers, also shared similar relationships with the Danes (who also lived adjacent to them on the Jutland peninsular). So our forefathers came from a small area of what is now called Scandinavia and North West Europe. The Britons were still calling the English Germans’ in the 9th century.. Today many of our neighbours have taken to calling us this again!

The tribes of the Jutland Peninsular and Baltic Scandinavia who lived nearest the Ocean were known collectively as the 'Ingaevones' (This included the Angles, Jutes and Saxons) they were descended from Ing, who was one of the three sons of Mannus. Mannus was said to be the son of their earth-born god called Tuisto, who had sprung up from the Earth. ....Mannus’s two other sons were Irmin of the Hermionoes and Istaev of the Istaevones. Together with Ing they were the founders and ancestors of the three tribal groups of the Germanic folk, the Ingaevones, Herminones and Istaevones.


The Angles (who called themselves Engle) came from the area of Angel/Angeln (on the Baltic coast) of todays Schleswig-Holstein area of Germany/Denmark (Jutland Peninsular) The Angles would found Northumbria, Mercia and most of East Anglia. The Angles were the largest of the three tribes, and their name would eventually be adopted by the other tribes of the new homeland. Though at the same time, all three tribes/peoples held on to their own tribal names and loyalties when dealing in their own interests.
The Saxons took their name from their favoured knife called the 'seax'. A knife that came in various lengths, used for everyday tasks such as hunting and of course war. The Saxons warriors were noted for the use of their ‘broke back’ type of seax of which there were one and two handed types. The English were still wearing and using the seax in the early middle ages. The Saxons would found most of southern England.
The Jutes came from the Northern part of the Jutland peninsular, North of the Angles and Saxons. They would found modern Kent, Hampshire and settle the Isle of Wight. Jutes may have once been called Geats.
