Just heard a fantastic poem on BBC London written last night especially for SGD. Had my heart swelling and stiff upper lip going.
If I can find a copy or version I will put it up on here.

I think I'd keep quiet about an STD, not make a poem about it!0 -

Just had my iPod on random and quite coincidentally the Angelic Upstarts song 'England' came on ... even my iPod knows it is St Georges Day !! ;-)
The red in the flag is the blood that was spilt
In the way that your forefathers tell
And never a country been so great
The stories Britannia coud tell
I never want to live my life
Away from the golden shores
There's never a country in the world
With the scent of an English rose
England, oh England, a country so great
The land of so fair and so true
There'll never be any colours like
The red, the white and the blue
Whenever you go to the far off shores
Ther's something that goes with you
The pride and the joy and the love that comes
From your mother of red, white and blue
You cold never be born under a flag that's like
The one of a Union Jack
St.George's spirit has never died
It all keeps coming back0 -
-
There'll always be an England, and England shall be free,
if England means as much to you as England Means to me
Happy St george's Day
Got my St george's Day tie on today which has had more than a few comments all nice of course !0 -

I like this response from Roy Hattersley:
I am English, not British but English.I am very proud about it, very patriotic about England.
But it's not the England that once ruled the world - or at least half of it - that I feel proud of, it's a gentler England, an England that's kinder than that.
It's an England that's associated with Shakespeare, with Elgar, with cricket, and, above all, the landscape.
I live in the Peak District. It's where I call home. The history has got something to do with it. It's got so much history you could cut it with a knife, but it is what England stands for as you see it now, beautiful, and gentle and at peace.
This is my England, the only place I could possibly want to live.
I look at my passport and it says citizen of a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and I say well that's legally what I am. But what I feel, what I know I am in my bones, is English, not British but English.
I like our diversity, different weather, different sorts of country and different people. We are all mongrels in England and I like the idea of a mongrel nation, not one that says it's special because it's particular, because it comes from one blood line. We came from all over the world and we made one country and it's called England and I like living here.
I don't make any special claims about the English. We didn't invent democracy. We are no more tolerant than other countries, we are no freer than most of the countries in Europe and certainly no more prosperous.
It's just the sort of place I want to be, I even like the weather. It is rain that makes it a green and pleasant land.
I'd hate to be somewhere were it didn't rain for six months of the year.
If there's one thing that makes us different we don't go on about being English. We don't go on about our nation except on St George's Day, but that's special.
This is the truth of it: When the chicken hatches it's infatuated by the first hen that it sees. Well, England is the first thing I saw when I came out of the egg and I'm infatuated by it. Always have been, always will be.0 -

Perhaps but we've had some form of democracy for more centuries than just about anyone. Our dismay at the infringement of some liberties are as a result of how many we have had and expect.
And while we may not all be tolerant as individuals as a nation we are, IMHO, more welcoming and inclusive than just about anywhere in the world.
England is not perfect, we have much to learn and improve but it is still a wonderful place to live.0 -
Its St Georges Day, and a celebration of all things English. I could have had
a fry up, kippers, full english roast with trimmings, pie and mash, ham and eggs. scones and jam, fresh crab sandwich, cornish pasties, sausage and mash, lamb shank, fish and chips out the wrapper
and i had a tuna mayonaise baguette !
Shame on me
What's on your SGD menu ?0
