Wednesday 15 April 2009 Inside the voidy-mind of James Purnell...
So you want an anthem for England?... Best call for Chas ‘n’ Dave! When then Culture Secretary for England, James Purnell was asked by us why England hadn’t yet got its very own national anthem, he replied we didn’t need one as we had the hits of beardy cockney-rhyming duo, Chas ‘n’ Dave to fall back on. (Dig that crazy beat, daddyo).
You know it’s funny, but I just don’t think those two legendary hits ‘Snooker Loopy’ or ‘Rabbit, Rabbit’ would really do suitable heart-stirring justice to the oldest democracy in Europe, do you?
The only way we will get our own anthem is to put pressure on the Brit-obsessed Establishment. Can you please write letters to your MP, to the FA, the RFU, to the Ministry of Culture demanding an end to the playing of God Save the Queen (the British anthem) before every England event – and suggesting Jerusalem as the people’s anthem of choice. (Because if nothing else, it actually mentions England!)
Wednesday 15 April 2009 IN ALL OUR SITTING ROOMS....
Biased Broadcasting Corporation Calling all English patriots! We are building a dossier on the appalling manner in which Auntie continues to ignore, marginalise and misreport English issues. If you find any instances of inaccuracies from New Labour’s very own lapdog news agency then let us know.
BIG BROTHER IS NOW WATCHING THEM!.
Wednesday 15 April 2009 IN OUR HEARTS...
F-R-E-E-D-O-M!!!! ‘We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the signing of Magna Carta with a national holiday in England’.
To demonstrate the Government's deep respect for, and commitment to, habeas corpus and England's proud tradition of democracy and liberty, the Government should announce plans for an English day of celebration and festivities on Wednesday, 12 June, 2015.
"Let England be a beacon to the World".
Amen to that, brother!!
Remember Simon de Montfort, remember Wat Tyler, remember all the other millions of English men and women who have given their lives for our freedom. Sign the petition!
Remember, Magna Carta is ENGLAND'S ACHIEVEMENT. Not Britain's and not Gordon Brown's.......
Wednesday 15 April 2009 Dunsford Park, Surrey
STIG IN DANGER! (Not to mention rural England!) Dunsford Park needs your help. In case you haven't heard of it, Dunsford Park is the airfield where The Stig tests out the latest souped up Ferrari for the BBC2 cult show, Top Gear.
And although the airfield is officially classed as a brown field site, it is located in deepest rural Surrey, but Gordon Brown wants to build an Eco-Town there. If that happened, it would mean the usual add-on baggage of concretia, out-of-town shopping malls and new motorways... The local council rejected the original planning application, so guess what.... the developer went straight to Gordon Brown's government to appeal. So much for local democracy in England! The Dunsford Park Protest Group needs your help to stop Brown concreting over England.
