The English are
the descendants of the early Celtic peoples and invaders of the
island including Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Danes and Normans. The
modern day English are known for their fierce pride of freedom,
a unity against adversity and an ability to conduct strong
mediation.. |
|
. |
|
Most English people
are proud of being English, and of their history and heritage.
After many years of the unfair stigma attached to the English flag
due to 'nationalist activities' and 'football hooliganism', there is now a
growing tendency and feeling that we can once again fly the flag
with pride. |
|

|
Many decent people are
ardent supporters of England and all things English no matter
whether those things are material or people 'pure born' English or
from another creed or race. Hopefully these pages on England
reflect this. |

Fly the flag with
pride and sing Land of Hope and Glory as loud as you can

|
(whistle if you cannot
sing). |
