Now that I didn't know - thanks for letting us know that fact, butchersapron.

So Arthur - what do you say to that, then?
 
As Macphee and Poddar argue in their book Empire and After, that even though for many outside the borders of the British isles Englishness and Britishness may seem like two synonymous expressions, the two are not identical and their relation to each other is for the most part is highly complex. Englishness is often a response to different national identities within Britain such as Scottishness, Irishness, Welshness. However this does not necessarily entail that it is appropriate to call the people living in England as English. For many, Englishness connotes e.g. “whiteness” and people other than white descendants (especially citizens from former British colonies) may feel that the more open term Britishness is to be preferred. It could therefore be said that Englishness is a response to the internal local pressure from other countries in Britain while Britishness developed as a reaction towards the global community. Though the designation of the two terms is not as simple since they are invariably conflated, they are both tied into the identity of the British nation and empire, since these last two are altering considerably as Englishness and Britishness do too. Thus the slippage between the two words can be seen as a play between these changing dynamics

If you're going to try and pass something off as your own, at least put all the spelling and grammar mistakes in that you made in your last posts, so we know that you so dearly care about the language you claim to defend?
 
You equate "English" with "white"? What about the Jewish community then who've been here since Cromwell - are they not "white" either?

e2a: What you you say to our new "england" friend, Arthur? Do you agree with him, or are you going to argue against him too?

hi all,
after many months of reading your posts i feel i have to say this..why do all the uaf and lefties not see the average man in the street is anti muslim...

Oddly enough, I've lived in the "inner city" part of south London for nearly half a century, mostly in council housing, and I don't know anyone who isn't middle-class who is anti-Muslim. Most of us down in the shit don't have time for anti-this or anti-that bullshit, we're too busy defending ourselves from the arseholes in government.

The worst cunts? Lower middle-class cunts like yourself who're scared of everything, including your own shadows.

have you been to theses inner city ghettos...
Click to expand...

I've lived in 'em and near 'em most of my life. Ghettos of the poor.

or do you not venture out of cambridge...

I've only ever visited Cambridge once, for a Wimbledon away game about 25 years ago.

i am not racist,however i do feel my country is being held at knife point by the ever increasing muslim popullation...

If you believe that, then you're one of three things:

1) You're stupid, because the Muslim demographic is increasing only slightly faster than "whites".

2) You're deluded, and believe any old shite people tell you, or

3) You're a racist trying to dress up your racism in a load of old guff about "your country".

You know what I despise about most of you rancid poxy racist cunts who bang on about "my country"? Most of you have never given a fuck about your country, you certainly haven't fought for it yourselves, just like the mighty warriors of the BNP and the NF before them: Big gobs, and happy to fight when they're mob-handed, but shit your briefs and run like fuck at the idea of actually fighting a fair fight, or serving your country.

wise up people and be proud to be english,our grandfathers fought for us, would they be proud of you..uaf..ask yourself that and be proud to be an englishman,,

6 generations of my family served in the British army. I'm proud of them, proud they had the courage of their convictions and were good soldiers, and you ask me to be proud of a country that still shits on it's soldiers once they've had bits blown off them? Kiss my arse. I've just had to watch the news and see that my regt has taken yet another casualty because an English parliament doesn't have the balls to leave Afghannistan and tell the Yanks to find a new fig-leaf.

Fuck off and die.

The right produces a lot of them. The amount of fat-bellied, skin-headed blokes I've met claiming to have been army (usually Paras, naturally) over the years is quite stupendous. Most of them have been so thick though, that you know they're Billys almost straight away, because they don't even know the names of the pubs near the barracks they were supposedly based at. :D
