Let's all raise a glass to the genuine patron saint of England. Think I'll rent a DVD, have a nice feast with the family and down a couple of beers tonight.
Rise up, O Lord, and may thy enemies be dispersed and those who hate thee be driven from thy face. - The Staffordshire Hoard

Happy St. Edmund's Day, SN - and to everyone else on this, the day of our true English Patron Saint.

". . . And so the population was gradually led into the demoralizing temptations of arcades, baths, and sumptuous banquets. The unsuspecting Britons spoke of such novelties as 'civilization', when in fact they were only a feature of their enslavement." — Tacitus, Agricola, 21
"There exists a law, not written down anywhere but inborn in our heart; a law that comes to us not by training or custom or reading but from nature itself: if our lives are endangered, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right." - Cicero

Happy st edmunds day to all
"I feel Extreme emotional sadness for the young men I knew that gave their lives willingly for a cause in which we all believed. And I often say to myself now if those young boys would come down now and walk through the villages,through the towns and through the cities and look around and see what is happening to us, they would say somewhere along the line we have been BETRAYED."
ALEX HINSHAW, Chief test pilot for Vickers Armstrong during World War 2

PARLIAMENT IS THE ENEMY OF THE ENGLISC NATION
The English, insofar as they recognise their origin, identity and cultural roots, are not 'Westerners', but an ancient northern people - Rev. John Lovejoy

"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."
— Karl Popper
