Lord Goldsmith has spoken again. The last time he opened his trap on the public stage was to tell us that we should change the words of the National Anthem to make it more inclusive. He got a good thrashing then and it looks like he will get another thrashing not for stating the bleeding obvious - which he has - but for suggesting teenagers should swear allegiance to the Queen.
So what other point has he missed, the one that must not be spoken? It's easy, Muslims are unlikely to swear allegiance to the Queen in their Muslim schools, their only allegiance will be to Muhammed, and if the Islamists get their way their will be no place for monarchy in an Islamist state. Price Charles should take note.
BRITAIN is losing its national pride and mass immigration is among the causes, Gordon Brown’s key adviser on citizenship admitted yesterday.
Former Attorney General Lord Goldsmith said there is less “belonging” than recent years.
He also revealed one in 10 now reject British identity.
That's because because Britishness has been soiled by Muslim terrorist bombers and miscellaneous other foreign criminal scum. We former Britishers would rather be known by our real identities i.e. English, Scottish and Welsh.
Lord Goldsmith unveiled measures to boost pride in a major review of citizenship, including plans for a National Day, children swearing an oath to the Queen and tax incentives for community work.
But critics attacked some of the proposals as “half-baked” and “empty gestures” and insisted Britons did not need “synthetic patriotism” to feel a part of their country.
So what's the difference between Nationalism and Patriotism and why is any hint of English Nationalism viewed with horror? After all it's alright for the Scots and Welsh to have their own nationalism and their own nationalist political parties and parliaments. I shall be answering these questions very soon and in particular why English Nationalism is going to be necessary for our very survival.

"British" is [amlost] all inclusive...multi-national and multicultural.
"British" live in Southall and Bradford, Liverpool and Manchester.
Hmmmmmm,,,,,, Sorry mate! We're full up....no room for the English. Have you tried Australia or New Zealand?
I was going through some stuff from my old Moody Blues fandom days -- yeh, I'm one of those -- and came across this set of lyrics by Justin Hayward:
We're on a runaway train
Rolling down the track
And where it's taking us to
Who knows where it's at...
And I've decided I can live
With humility
And the sad decay
'Cause that's the English way
We keep the faith alive
In everything we do
And at the end of the road
We still keep coming though
And though it's sad and it's sorry
What else can we do
It's an English sunset...
And I've decided they can wait
For the requiem
We can take it day by day
'Cos that's the English way
I saw the English sunset.
Don't look at me, I'm a John Lodge fan.
