They build you up and then they knock you down. We’re always interested in your feedback (well most of the time) and plenty of you take the time to let us know what you think, so here’s what you have to say – the whole bloomin’ lot of it. Some people are with us, some against us – and some quite plainly as mad as box of frogs (make sure the chains on the door love!)

Hi ThereWATE.com

Visited the site this morning, was impressed, spent some time reading 'quotations' and looking at the mechandise, this after attending National Council of CEP meeting in Shefford yesterday, Paul May spoke very highly of your organisation. I will be back shortly to continue my visit, I know there are some things I have to order for St George's Day decoration of my house.Good luck to you all in your new venture - Regards, Len.

HI,
AGAIN............NO  THANK YOU................I READ ON ......IT JUST GOT BETTER.
 TRUELY  ..... SOMETHING OF A DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE IS HAPPENING HERE.I'LL SPREAD THE WORD – DANNY

Have visited your site a day or so ago and it is superb!! Have posted a comment too. As soon as pay day comes around I'll be back to order.. got my eyes on a t-shirt, coffee mug and lapel badge already! Just a thought.. are all the items made in England? Might seem a daft question an' all but I have to ask! If the answer is on the site somewhere then ignore me.. haven't had chance to look in detail.. If they are and it isn't then perhaps a note to say so.. just to reassure patriots such as myself! :- An idea for your site.. you've probably thought of it already but.. I've been looking for some 'English' gifs (flags and such like.. and humorous stuff too) for attachment to emails or similar docs.. animated ones preferably. Not sure how you'd go about selling them or maybe a freebie download to encourage people to visit? - Regards Pete.

HI,
YET AGAIN.Enjoyed your story of Brunanburh. (Ic eom fram thaem wirhael.) I am from the wirral ,one of the places where the battle is said to have taken place. you forgot to mention that this is where all the English men , for the first time ,Northhumbrians, East Angles,West Saxons etc. fought .......as one nation .....together. It could be said that this battle, saw England as a Nation begin , under Athelstan.......Alfred's grandson. Wes  hael. Encourage Anglo-Saxon history.- Danny.

Your email was actually rather shocking. It is the first unsolicited email I have received for years that I was pleased about !! What an absolutely brilliant website - I've not had the time to look all around yet but I will be placing an order for several items shortly. Have you got time to include St.Georges Day cards??  This England is the only supplier I know that has them printed in England. Brilliant site - I'll be back after I've had a sleep! Hope it is very successful. I have other ideas that may help you but don't have time just now. I'd even thought of making a similar site as I knew there was little on the 'net. Now I don't need to.  Well done. All the best - Tony

Hello and thank you for the site! Just a couple of things you might think about or add. Firstly, you might wish to add the Battle of Sedgemoor to your list of battles - this was the last battle fought on English soil. I have more information if you wish. Secondly, some great Englishmen I would add:
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
William Wordsworth
William Blake
Edward Elgar
Vaughn Williams
George Orwell
William Shakespeare (!)
Geoffrey Chaucer
John Milton
Lewis Carroll
Thomas Hardy
Charles Dickens
Enoch Powell
Turner (artist)
Tolkein
and many, many more...(these are simply off the top of my head and as I write this I am thinking of Jane Austen - excuse the innuendo! - John Keats, Shelley, Emily Bronte and again on and on...
Cheers anyway - Tim.

Hi man,
Thanks for looking at my site.  I'm glad I get the really stupid hate-mails, it keeps me laughing.  My favourite was the one about Galatasaray bribing referees with camels ! I looked at wearetheenglish.com, it's a very good site.  I know many people think if you are English, and a proud patriot, automatically means you are a racist.  This is stupid, it is important to be proud of your history no matter where you are from.  And England has indeed given much to the world. Anyway keep up the good work - Lion GalatasarayNews.com

Keep up the good work! It makes me feel very reassured to now that there are sites like this. Anyone coming to this country would think patriotism is represented by racist neanderthals. As someone who is Black and English I shall continue to view this site with interest - Del.

Wanted to congratulate you on a truly brilliant website. I don't know any Englishman that wouldn't be moved by such a collection of patriotic articles. Since discovering this website I've become a regular visitor, its the best England website I've found. Nice one.

It's about time "we" English had a website like yours.  There have been so many for Scotland, Wales & Ireland -- but not enough England. We'll be working off this site for a long time, and we wish you all the very best of luck.  THERE WILL ALWAYS BE AN ENGLAND! - Cheers! Albert

Greetings,
Congratulations and all Godspeed on your site !Could we please have some links to our great magazines such as "This England" and "Evergreen" and the "Society of St George" on the site ? That magazines sentiments and it's editor's cast of mind match your own in so many ways. What a pleasure it would be to have it all together, to lift the spirit and give some hope of the future for those of us living in far places. - Very Best Regards Graeme

Thank you for your E-Mail today - I clicked on the first address Adrian suggested and it worked like a charm and I now have your website complete.
I found it very interesting and must compliment you on the result of what must have been a lot of research and work to produce it. I possess dual British and Canadian citizenship, born in Ipswich, Suffolk, spent six war years in the R.A.F. as a bomber pilot, and have resided for the last 54 years in Canada, now retired from the insurance business for some 17 years. So I have had considerable exposure to the English influence in this country and also in India where I spent four years during the war flying Wellingtons on Coastal Command and Liberators on Special Duty Ops. There is no doubt that both Canada and India owe much to the English influence but Canada especially has become over the years an extremely cosmopolitan country to the extent that British people and their heirs are fast becoming a minority. We need more British immigrants at least to keep the scales balanced! We do need, however, to exercise caution and not give the impression that we are a "superior race" as the Germans did in the last century, as this is just not so - people from all nations have much to offer the world, as has been proven in this country. People in the political arena, Federal, Provincial and Municipal, come a myriad of backgrounds and, by and large, their influence has been for the common good. We have, too, to guard from insularism, a lesson that the Americans have come to realise in spite of their tendency in the past to isolate themselves from the rest of the world. I step down from my soapbox to thank you again for your responses to my E-Mails and for your excellent website. - Regards Tony.  

hi
great stuff ,just what is needed, its about time we english started fighting back and standing up for ourselves. your site is excellent - craig

Words escape me.The addition to your guest book by 'Robert The Bruce' totally made everything clear to me.  What a t**t. Completely out of curiosity I had a flick onto the website. Hmmmm..... and the English are supposed to be racist.  It just makes us more determined.I rest my lovely English case. - Emma Skeith (English born, English bred, and when I die my English  Heart will still beat for England)

thanks for an excellent site,i ordered a polo shirt and it was every bit as good as the hackett shirt i paid £70! for well nearly.also it arrived in 3 days.well done and please send out more cards with orders i gave them to friends to log on and ran out .keep up the good work english and proud ,cheers big al

Finally!!! About bloody time that there's a site which actually CELEBRATES being English and not listening to the Scottish dominated media that constantly belittle our once glorious nation.
I'll spread the word.Many thanks. Bart

About time...I have been waiting for a site like this for some time, if you hadn't of done I probably would have :)  

Excellent work.  I am a bit of a history buff and was very pleased to see the likes of Athelstan in the line up - but you must also include The Duke of Marlborough (Winston Churchill's Ancestor) as he was probably the greatest general in world history (makes Napoleon look decidedly amateurish).  And Shakespear of course - but great stuff anyway, and I don't want to be too critical. P.s has anyone else noticed how much the Scottish loath the English, and how they seem to be able to get away with just about any form of anti-English 'racism'?  It really worries me how much they are undermining things in the English government at the moment. 

Hi I'm Andy and I thought being this is an English Patriot's website I masewell get a few things off my chest. I am trying to prove I am an Englishman but I always thought I was one anyway! I was born in the Shropshire town of Shrewsbury and brought up on the border that separates England and Wales. It wouldn't be so bad to say I'm English if half my family weren't Welsh and stuck-up about it! My college is in Wales so I get shot if I wear my England Rugby Shirt in it! I've decided that for my own good I masewell end up marrying somebody English, so that I am not left alone in my belief of St. George! I think also being that I am a born salopian I masewell marry somebody Salopian and live in Shropshire when I am older! I do remember April 23rd and usually wear the England Rugby Shirt as it has the Tudor Rose on it, and despite never having the time I think morris dancing is a good way of celebrating ST. George's Day! I don't think my Welsh relations realise I count myself English but If and when they do I want you to realise I think the English are too much of a great civilisation to be poached from! I class my accent as Borderly-Salopian as in my town people show traits of the Salopian accent and do not sound Welsh!! My last question is do you know anywhere where you can buy Duvet Covers and Curtains that say England and have the ST. George's Cross on it! Not with anything to do with Rugby or Football but just the great country that stems from Newcastle to London! Another thing that needs changing is for people to be patriotic about being English, instead of just where they come from in England and what accent they have! What sounds better? I'm an Englishman or I'm a Brummie? I'm English or I'm Scouce? I'm from England or I'm from Yorkshire? You have to E-Mail me to my college in Wales but The Englishman will keep it confidential in his private inbox!!!  - Andy

Why is it, that everybody hates the english?

I would like to say just how much I thoroughly enjoyed your website, which I have just visited for the first time.  I happened upon the site almost by accident, and being an Anglophile, I couldn't pass it up. I found your page "about England" to be of particular interest, especially the following passage: “We have a heritage that is the envy of the world and yet, due to political correctness, it is a history and culture that is to be denied us. Scottish, Irish, Asian or any other culture you can think of is to be celebrated, but we the English are not afforded the same opportunity to celebrate our identity. This cultural genocide has now reached the point where any notion of Englishness, even our own flag, is being shouted down by the left wing thought police and labelled offensive or even racist.It is a national tragedy that through political correctness we are unable able to instil a sense of pride and history into our children. What harm can identity and belonging to their own country? Indeed, in times where many have no sense of direction, when communities are fragmented, the nation state can provide that identity, pull everyone together and tell us something of who we are and from where we came. At the end of the day, political correctness is nothing more than a weapon in the hands of a small minority, used to deny the majority their right to express their opinion and culture.” This sounds precisely like the situation with my own people in Dixie. Political correctness attempts to purge us out of existence, and spares nothing in its relentless effort to do so.  Our history is demonised in an attempt to make us out to be a race of heathens guilty of horrific atrocities, our people are discriminated against and ridiculed by outsiders and even some of our own people, and our flag is under relentless attack and vilified as "racist", just as you have said of St George's Cross. We seem to be in similar circumstances, and is it any wonder?  While the entirety of the American colonies were once British settlements, massive immigration to most of the US has altered that fact to the point that today, Dixie is the only region in the US that still has as its majority population the descendants of those early English settlers.  Of course, our culture, lifestyle, and speech are more English than any other part of the US, for obvious historical and demographical reasons.  So it would stand to reason that we are under the same sort of attack by politically correct forces. I enjoyed your site immensely, and will continue to visit it regularly. Scott

Re your English greats.......Old Winston was a t**t and a liar of massive proportions throwing away innocent lives for nothing and to this day most of the British public see themselves as a totally different ethnic group to the German people because of him he should be shown up for the traitor that he really is................. but you are as all the rest  frightened of the truth....Ursus. Wednesbury England

HI GUYS. WELL WHAT CAN I SAY, FANTASTIC SITE  KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. BY THE WAY I MUST ALSO SAY WHAT A GOOD POSTAL SERVICE YOU HAVE , THE GOODS I ORDERED CAME IN NO TIME
ALL THE BEST KEVIN (ENGLISHMAN)

about time! its about time there was some English pride again. 

See, it is possible to be proud of who you are without despising who someone else is.  Well done.  Excellent site.  Lets get that flag flying again, but for the love of our country, not hate of everyone elses - no more ammunition for the bleeding heart lefties who want to, and are, destroying our great England. Matt

I like it. Keep up the good work. Wyatt

Hi there.I've recently been browsing the web and decided to look for things to do with national pride. I was disgusted to find the amount of sites or postings that are dedicated to pounding away at 'being an Englishman (Englishperson if they had their way!).  So far this is the only site I have found that tries to promote a positive image of the English and England. The only real target the lefties have is our football fans, and they have been quiet of late, they seem to label everyone who is English as a football yob and I'm getting sick and tired of it. We've given so much to this world and as a majority in our own country we are now being ignored, what with devolution, immigration problems, etc etc. I don't believe that you can really speak out in the current climate if you are white, straight, male, non-disabled and English for the fear of being heckled by a carefully orchestrated concoction of gay, lesbian, black, asian, disabled, feminist and other minorities that are used by the far left as a tool for imposing their own rules.....................rant over!....... sorry. I cant see there ever being a Government that rules by common sense, it's like a pendulum really. the left wingers are going to cause so many problems by trying to love all of the world, which will allow the right wingers to get in eventually, and all they want to do is shoot all of the world. Anyway, I'm glad I've found your site.
Did you know that the schools in my local area are not allowed to fly the Union Flag let alone the George cross, just in case it might upset one or two of the children in the schools  who have a different heritage, but are supposed to be British? Keep up the good work. Regards. Paul.

Just discovered it. Looks great. I think its time that English people reclaimed the St George how nice to see the flag as i often do now driving through towns and villages. It,s time to reclaim our parliament it,s no good Blair coming up with an half baked regional assembly another level of buracracy. He just does,nt get the message that he has systematically devalued politics with his spin so that people distrust every word he says. Sorry Tony six regional assemblies won,t do. English nationalism (the democratic type) is here and growing. We want England reclaimed, a new national anthem. The St George flying proudly at all institutions. This is my England and I want it back.

Excellent site ! But with the English greats you have to add the duke of Marlborough. Never lost a battle ! Churchill a descendant! Practically ran the country under Queen Ann. Keep up the good work, Bart

I love your site. I visit every so often. I'm living temporarily in the us and its a really frustrating,illogical place to live. Your site makes me feel closer to home...still,  only eighteen months left now!. I admire your sense of fairplay when you publish less than favourable letters to your guestbook, do you really have to do that??????? Keep up the good work...Carol

Hi there, I got all the stuff you sent a couple of days ago and I thought
I'd let you know I'm very happy with it. The quality of the clothes is
exceptional and I've already got another mate who has an order on its way
from you, and I'm bound to have other mates who'll do the same. Any
extention of your product range and there's no doubt I'll be getting some
stuff from you again. If you had some St.George boxers and socks too that'd
be something I know a load of us were looking for. Anyway thanks once again and I look forward to shopping with you in the future and putting as much business your way as I can. Richard

Great site,Im sat here with goose bumps all over me-keep it up. Do you know anything about-The Freedom Fighters Of England?  I keep seeing it sprayed on motorway bridges all the time but cant find out anything about
them – Thanks Dave

Dear we are english.com I have just found your site and it brings me great joy to see people like myself who feel overlooked and downtrodden in MY OWN country. I for one am a monarchist, I believe in the Union too (together we are strong, broken we are weak), but first and foremost I am English and proud of it. I must say that if the Scots and the Welsh hate us so much why do they all live here and even then continue to slate the English, I have had enough of it and now challenge any person from across the border who thinks we are the oppressors, I stick up for England and they hate that. I have told all my friends about your site and I will soon purchase some patriotic clothing from your site. I could not agree more with the english parliament and will bring it up at my next meeting with my political party to help raise awareness. I hope this email helps cement your beliefs, as I believe the English at long last are starting to awaken from their slumber, and will soon say enough is enough on many issues, remember if everybody who is English was to have a refrendum on this it would be a landslide in our favour such is the feeling on this matter I believe. Follow your spirit, and upon this charge, cry god for Harry, ENGLAND and ST GEORGE. - Yours sincerely Jason

hello just stopped by to say I absolutely love your website. I'm not English :'( but I probably love England more than anyone out there hehe so I think its great that you guys want to show people how great of a place England is and I hope one day I can say I'm English even if not by birth :) well keep up the good work and if you need help with anything I'll be more than willing to help –Jocelyn

Hello. I'd just like to say how I enjoy your excellent website about what being English actually is and how people like myself can be proud of our nationality. The sad thing is that although far right groups like the BNP are proud of their nationality they hate anyone who isn't the same nationality as theirs, and that isn't what Englishness is all about. I would like to see St George's Day being celebrated on April 23rd. I went to Stoke-on-Trent on St George's Day this year just so that it was a special day, but I was saddened to find that it was just a normal low key day. It isn't fair. Northern and Southern Ireland treat St Patrick's Day almost like Christmas Day and Scotland and Wales celebrate St Andrew and St David respectively. Let's have St George's Day a public holiday, which is appropriate as my name is George, anyway! England probably doesn't get special attention as it is bigger than Scotland, Wales or Ireland. When we talk about them as nations, England is split up into different regions and the famous north versus south divide, which deludes me as I live in the Midlands. Let's have a England political party, just like Scotland has with the SNP, the Welsh have with Plaid Cymru and Ireland have with the UUP. OK, Labour have the English flower - the rose as its emblem, but it isn't an England only party. The BBC tends to ignore England as a nation as well. After the Ten O'clock news for example Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have programmes for their nation and the UK programmes either an hour or half an hour later. England just has the UK programmes straight away. Surely there are programmes that are relevant to all English regions but not to the nations outside? BBC radio is another offender. When Radio 1 decided to give The Session a different programme for each nation, I felt that the word "different" was misleading. The programmes are usually presented by Steve Lamacq, but although Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland were given two different presenters each Thursday evenings, poor old England had no change of presenter and we had Steve Lamacq again. To me, it's like the Welsh, Scots and Irish sticking two fingers up at the English, saying that "we've got different presenters and you haven't, so there". I find that slightly insulting, although the UK edition is broadcast from England anyway, it's probably a way of saving time and money, although from an English point of view, little has seemed to have changed; more like a mirage. To summarise, yes I am English and I'm proud of it. My father was born in Doncaster, so I also think of myself as half Yorkshire man as well. My grandfather however was born in Ireland. And I'm not only English, but I'm also Nottingham born and bred as well. I have noticed that your organisation is based here in Nottingham as well. I know Mansfield Road in Sherwood very week; my sister used to live on Melrose Street in the early 1990's, which is just around the corner from you; she also very English! I'm typing this from Sneinton, which you will not need reminding where that is - it's in England, of course! Anyway, keep up the good work on your very English website! – George

I found your site highly pleasing and agree with much of what is said, though I am somewhat concerned about the prospect of an English government were it to further divide the United Kingdom. I am curious as to what powers this proposed government would have, and where the British government fits in. Since England is by far the most dominant province of the United Kingdom, the English parliament may tend to become the dominant power, lessening the influence and relevence of the United Kingdom's parliament. I would prefer to see the United Kingdom devoid of provincial governments, and united, than split up with each area governing itself. I live in Australia and am fiercly monarchist and a British citizen, considering myself as such - one of my all-time favourite TV-series being Simon Schama's A History of Britain.

I loved your sight. really loved it. As a CEP and EDP member I would. Only
negatives for me really is the intro to the Battles section, too negative a
view of us, and refering to the Scotch (English word for anything or person
from Scotland) as tight bastards which although they are devalues the
seriousness of the site. Athough I recognise the tongue in cheek, will others
not pro us do so.

why are we all now supposed to be british.......
i was born in england, i live in england and no doubt i will die in england
so that should make me ......  ENGLISH !

Came across your site searching on the Internet whilst I couldn't sleep, and read your article about St. George's Day. The thing is, howcomes more people know about St. Patricks Day then St. George's Day? Most people don't even realise when it is April the 23rd that is it St. George's Day. I blame Guinness, basically - which makes me wonder just how a St. George's Day campaign ran by an English Brewery would do.Anyhow, nice site - I spent a long time reading it, and sending quotes to my mates. - Cheers Steven.

Very good site - I followed up after joining the English Democrats. BUT your history is wrong! Like me, you were taught at school (years ago in my case) that the Anglo-Saxons drove out the Romano-British. Well, no they didn't, according to research on genetics by Prof Sykes at Oxford. The Anglo-Saxons took over but the Romano-Brits stayed put (only their leaders fled to Wales). Prof Sykes's research also shows that the same thing happened to our earlier ancestors - the reported Celtic invasion did not take place but the local Brits adopted Celtic culture. The female DNA shows that all the British nations are descended from the Stone Age people who migrated here at the end of the last ice age, from 30K years ago, before the English Channel was formed. Later incursions - of Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans etc - are revealed by Y-chromosome male DNA but they were so small that they did not change our genetic make up all that much. (Note that the 'Cheddar Man', an 8,000 year old skeleton found in the caves at Cheddar Gorge was found from DNA analysis to have 'relatives' living close by to this day!) Thus, while the British people are divided into four nations, the differences between those nations are not racial but cultural, geographic and historical - which in my view makes it EVEN WORSE that one of the nations, the Engish, is denied the right to exist as a nation except when we play sport. (And I write as someone of Scottish descent.) So please revise your history but keep up the good work! - Ian Campbell

WATE Reply – Thanks for your support Ian but the majority of the DNA reports actually show the opposite to what you have stated above. With DNA still being a fairly haphazard science it’s important that we also view the linguistic, cultural and archaeological evidence – I think our history is correct.

Dear sir/madam
While i was most pleasantly surprised to find your website i was most let down and disappointed by the continued use of Britain flags on sites nothing to do with Britain your site sells itself on being about England not Britain so to have in your CD section a cd with a label with the wrong uk state flag on it instead of the correct  England flag as it should really annoyed me as it is so hard to tell stupid people that the Britain flag is nothing to do with England, yet you've reinforced that incorrect attitude on your site mistakenly or not it blights your site making the whole thing meaningless with mixed messages, also of course your video section is full again with videos reflecting Britain in war not England,while i very much support sites that do make an effort, if you want to be the, we are the English etc,etc,you need to stop contradicting yourself and cut out the uk content otherwise talking about England becomes pointless.

Love your site, its about time we started to organise an english voice. One of the most annoying examples of lack of identity on our part is the playing of the british national anthem for England football games, rugby games etc.  
It was great to see the commonwealth games break the mould with Land of Hope and Glory echoing around Manchester. We should organise a campaign to petition various sporting bodies who do not play the English Anthem to change this immediately.   We should contact prominent Englishmen perhapscurrently playing in the England teams to get them to express their views.I would also like to see an English Nationalist Party as everybody else seems to have one. As for St George's Day, every day is St George's Day at my house, I have a St George's Flag flying 52 weeks a year - in sunny Leicester, where Manzil Mogil, Head of the British Muslim Foundation is trying to ban the flying of the St George Cross on St George's Day. I will try to find out his email telephone and fax details and we can start a campaign against this anti-english racist. Plenty more where this came from, good luck with your site. Regards George Saint

You mention great battles that we fought years ago!  What about Monty, El Alamain, Battle of Britain, GOOSE GREEN, Not to mention the Gulf and Gulf 2.

Dear Sir/Madam,I would just like to thank you for making my life that little bit better!I was born on April 23rd 1971 and get so pissed off every year when St Patrick's day is celebrated in the country I was born and St George's day isn't.
It is about time that we have a day to celebrate our heritage and celebrate everything that is English. Keep up the good work and I hope that one day people in England will all come together on April 23rd and celebrate together!
 Barry

I am iranian but i love the english national team!!!! They are great!!!! And what an amazing win over Germany!!! I knew they could do it!!!!!!! ENGLAND RULZ!!!! 4EVER!!!!!!!! - LM

I'm Catholic Northern Irish but i support England and always watch them play. Saturday was a crazy rollercoaster ride of emotions but Beckham has left me speechless again. I can only hope that he continues to soar to even higher highs but also takes this team up there with him. I look forward to seeing them in the World Cup 2002  - WEEBLACKCROW

The three Lions. Good article DP. I've been searching all over the internet for a story on the history of the 3 lions. As I put on my England shirt the other day, I thought.........So what's this all about anyway. As far as I know, it's just a symbol of historic England and a logo. Well, you've helped me out and i'll be checking back for part 2. Cheers.Steve.

Hi there,Question:The National Anthem of England: God Save the Queen The National Anthem of Great Britain: God Save the Queen Why?  I'm sure you have probably mentioned this somewhere on the site, but I've only just come across it today and haven't had the chance to have a good gander...  Do you have any idea as to why we don't have our own NA, maybe something like 'Jerusalem'? Great, great site by the way.  Will be seeing more of it tomorrow.

May I recommend 'England Away' by John King.  Disturbing yet compelling reading - three generations of the English (starting with a chap who recollects D-Day!) kicking the s**t out of the other Europeans....  Marvellous! Am off to France in three weeks to represent the UK in a martial arts tournament - will let you know if I can scar the rest of the Euro community! :-) Best wishes, Scott

Just a note. As you might have figured by my user name I also dream of independence from the UK, even if it's probably for different reasons from yourselves. Nevertheless, a lot of this site is asking what's wrong with "being English" and why does this make you a neo nazi and NF member. Well, I can only speak for myself but what really pisses me off about English folk is the way that they see the terms "British" and "English" interchangibly. Here's an example of it from your own site: "During the dark days of 1939 we stood alone against tyranny...we are the English". This is also often said about World War I and any British conflict/achievment. As far as I am aware my granddad didn't go on holiday to Nothern France's trenches between 1914 and 1918 and I doubt my dad was off parachuting as a pastime when he 'dropped in' to Germany in 1940. So, basically, by all means be proud of your country like we are just try to remember that  you're not Britain and I'd have thought you'd find enough to brag about than claim the bravery and lives of those who fought for Britain, not England. Scott

On Armistice Day...Thank you for your E Mail which I am reading on Armistice Day....Veterans' Day and Rememberance Day. My love for..and of...England has never faltered even though I have lived in America for 40 years. I asked for the American flag to be raised where I work...and it was done. I did stop work, albeit briefly, at 11 am. I wore lapel pins to thank Great Britain, America and Canada.....and remembered my Dad, born on this day. I hope this makes you smile.....I am often asked why I have not become an American citizen and my usual answer is that I will...on the same day that Queen Elizabeth becomes an American citizen. I still love receiving my copy of THIS ENGLAND, baking a cake for St George's Day and celebrating as many English and British customs as I can get away with. And my car has the Union Jack in the rear window....so please, for the sake of the next generations, please continue to remind people of the debts they owe to Veterans of all the wars fought so bravely, so young by so many and those today who still fight for freedom and our way of life. So please, keep your pride and the struggle to maintain our heritage in an oft changing world. Sincerely. Rosemary

Hi I'm want to know why whenever England play we have God save the Queen as our national anthem when this is the British anthem. I was wondering if you could help spearhead a campaign to get our own national anthem played which I belive is "Land of Hope and Glory" or set up a pole to find out what English fans would like played before sporting events.Just because the other British teams can never make any tournaments I don't see why we should have to represent them via the anthem. Best Regards James

Oh the delight in being an Englishman in Australia this Sunday morning. What a sweet victory! To those Aussies amongst you - Commiserations - To the Poms - share the moment. Take care, Ted.

Greetings, Just to let you know it is brilliant living in Australia at the moment since 10pm Saturday night the locals...sorry convicts seem to be a lot less cocky than usual but they still have come out with some perfect excuses like:
It was wet so better suited to you lot (what it never rains in Australia?) The grass should have been cut shorter (apparently it was cut on the Tuesday before the game and not Thursday like normal-what diff does it make)  Anyway thought i'd share this with you-its great to be English at any time but fantastic at the moment.

Watched it up Regans Bar Casualties: Lots of bruises Two chairs One table One broken leg (Biaff) But it was one hell of a scrum re-enactment! Hope you’re all well I will call you before xmas Jim

Dear Sir, madamwhat a absolutley wonderfull web site to come across!
i found the link on a message left in the normandy vets association guest book.Today i read the letter from a normandy vet in the paper how they wanted to take one last trip to normandy and had very little response in trying to raise enough money (how disgusting they even have to ask) Anyway thats how i came across this site.I cant wait to have a proper look at it. I thjink this is just what the english especialy the white men need( im a woman by the way) I love my country and fellow english and im sick to death of hearing how bad we are, how ashamed we should be for things that are nothing to do with this generation. Im sick of history being misinterpretated and chunks of it being left out( the white slave trade) done deliberately to create an atmosphere of misplaced guilt on one side and misplaced victim mentality on another. This country and its people have done many wonderfull things and we should be allowed to be proud of our country and fly our flag high!. all the very best Rosanna

recently went to the USA and on the green temp visa card I wrote my nationality was English. The smug customs officer put me in a room for 1/2 an hour and pointed out I was a citazen of the UK as per my passport.  What happenend to our identity Please add me to your mailing list.

I moved to Wales after marrying my Taffy wife for a couple of years and noticed how proud they were of their culture and how much they hate us which is perpetuated by their politician they have groups like cymunthe (spelt
wrong) which want to stop English People (No-Colonisation Campaigns) moving there. Similar language groups are in Cornwall, Scotland and Ireland. Do you have any articles on debating such groups. I think it a shame that we do not promote the ancient languages of England. Thankfully I have moved back home to Portsmouth. Keep Up the Good work by fighting the good fight by promoting Englishness – Scott

Hi,Great site.You can often read my views in the Hear All Sides column of the
Northern Echo.Just browse over www.thisisthenortheast.co.uk some time. My voice is only one of a few that stands up to the lunatic lefties, who
often write in about ramblings that are too insane to tell you ! Well,you know,
the old ones like 'England is a country of immigrants' and 'there is no such
thing as englishness'...Keep up the good work, and join me in fighting these lunatic left wing fascists. Kind regards,  Christopher

Have just read Christine Constable's speech - I totally agree with all she says. I am beginning to feel a stranger in my own country. We are rapidly losing our own identity in our own country. I am not rascist as I have lived in other parts of the world and have abided by their rules but why oh why is our own culture being gradually taken away from us and indeed why are we allowing it to happen. I fail to understand why New Labour is so hell bent in destroying all things English - why are the Scots voting in our Parliament? Why are they happy to embrace all other cultures but not our own?  Good luck- I hope that you succeed. Christine Dunn 

merry Christmas to all at W.A.T.English, what a way to end the year, beating the whingers at rugby in their own back yard.. I made sure i sent tessa growell a nativity card for christmas and thanked her for furthering the cause of english nationalism with her ridiculous views.thanks for the tip RE normandy vets, i will certainly send a few quid. best wishes tom,  (thanks for the england shirt) one last thing, christmas , we celebrate the birth of messiah, in bethlehem , which was in israel, not palestine.

Good day to you all, just ordered some cards off you for St.George's day.  Great site, something that I will be passing onto freinds in my area to have a look at.  Although i am in N.ireland at the moment I am indeed English and have many English friends here, why here?  I have a proffesional reason to be here. Glad to see such a lively, well informed and an informing site for the English masses to view, lets hope that our Culture, Heriatage and Pride is not to be thrown away and forgotten as we may fear!!
All the best to you and yours, Alban North.

your site is excellent...im damn proud to be english...it just winds me up that more the foreighners comeing in the less patriots there are...i just want to say 1 thing...i hate scottish irish welsh french american germans dutch asians africans..i hate everyoneeee....you know y??...cuz im a typical arrogant english lad...so they say anyway but i dont care uz as long as im english nothing can bring me down!!!

Hullo Julien...everywhere in British Columia but especially Vancouver, I don't know the East Coast of Canada much.I just made my seventh trip to Vancouver & on the Sunday went to a parish Church in LADNER...All Saints. I'm no fanatic but remained Church of England. I wish you could see the  gate in the garden..just like an English Lych gate. Tea & coffee & even home made Simnel cake were served....a very old fashioned cake usually only made around Easter. Probably half the parishioners are English even if they lived in Canada for years. I was made so very welcome. Then there is TSAWWASSEN ( pronounced Twussen ) This town is right on the American/Canadian border. They even boast a " Rose & Crown " and a very authentic fish & chip shop. No one ever questions you if you ask for marmalade....which most American people don't know about. I was in one shop...high quality secondhand clothes...and I realized there were 4 English women ( who'd never met before ) in one small shop. My own Church on Staten Island, St Paul's, has an American minister of Scottish descent. I pride myself with avoiding controversy & getting along with people of all shades, nationalities & religions. Fr. Blasinghame hosts a "British Flower Festival" every autumn...you'd hardly know you were in Staten Island, America. The Consul General of New York is always there...and the West Indian ladies dream up tiny sandwiches you had as a child with my scones & all kinds of fairy cakes. Fr. B held a very moving ceremony of rememberance for our Queen Mother ( I was terrified but asked to speak at the service ) He also remembers St George's Day every year. Julien, have you ever read the lovely magazine, "This England"  It is known as Britain's loveliest magazine...a bit conservative & too clean for a lot of people....but I treasure each copy & the photography make me so proud to be English. It is not cheap but worth every penny. I am planning a trip home in May...I haven't seen bluebells in many years. I'll be in the Southampton area....and hope my 89 year old Mum will be up to some wheelchair walks in the area. When you're pushing a wheelchair, you see far more than you ever would riding in a car. If she is up to it, I hope to take a taxi to Beaulieu..can't spell today....if you get a chance, go to the Hungry Gardener, one of the nicest cafe/ restaurants in Hampshire. And in closing....all around St George's day there are things to celebrate...our Queen's birthday...and Mr Shakespeare!....All the best...Rosemary

Thankyou Julien...should be in time for St George's Day. I'm planning on making a rich pound cake ( Elvis' favourite )  with white icing & a red ribbon,,,always a favourite. As you know, St Patrick's Day is big in NY...but if people ask who St George was...I can usually get a smile with...."St Patrick only slew snakes but St George killed the dragons!" If you are ever in NY ( let me know )  ...there is a very beautiful St George's Church, where an English friend is a minister.I hope to send you a photo  of Nightingale, my little Toyota Echo with her flags of St George, USA & Canada. I guess you know you have fans, especially near Vancouver, in Canada. My car got her name from my Mother in Southampton...."Like an Echo, a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square" Regards....Rosemary

I remember as a child playing beside the river an England so beautiful in summers they seemed to last for ever and Christmas never came. Alas now with the intervention of foreign traders Christmas comes in the summer. Sid

.. badly let down by, of all things, its use of English.  Could someone
please spell-check and then grammar-check your 'Campaign for an English
Parliament' page?  I wholeheartedly support the idea... but couldn't
bear to read more after the first few lines. Keep up the (better?) work. Regards K

hi in the build up to st George's day i just want to congratulate you on maintaining this outstanding site that brings pleasure to me and those around,
 my pride for England and its history will never demise, my heart grieves everyday regards Peter

Landlord told to drop St.Georges Day from advertising, because it isn't
classed as a holiday but the chinese new year is, how sad is that. I am sure
that our government are Nazi  "Sleepers" acting as a fifth column trying to
bring down ENGLAND LOL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK – Scott

Hello there ,Congratulations on a great  site it says everything an Englishman feels I will as usual be flying our flag here in Felixstowe ,I have one query I cannot print your web pages is there a block on them? good luck John B.

happy st georges day

Thank you very much for the very speedy delivery of this order which I
received on 23rd. Best wishes Mike

just letting you know what a great site you have,nice to see all the positive things about england when all we get shown is all the negative.I  cant wait until the people of england feel they can be proud again like I am. - Dean proud Englishman

just come across this glorious place. i would like to add a certain person to the english list of greats "sir frank whittle" born in earlsdon, coventry. worked in cov, lutterworth and rugby. but what did he do?he invented the jet engine, yes the very one that propell's all those planes around the world. i think he should get a mentiom somewhere. keep up the good work  - martin born english die English

I have never seen such a stupid website!My name is James. I am English and currently live in southern spain and I would just like to say I have never seen such a arragont and pointless website in my intire life. For starters The English if you dont know are an imbarrisment to the entire world and especially Europ. To be honest I am ashamed to be English the spanish see us as being a nation of thugs rapists and drunken idiots we seem to breed them. the rest of Europe is laughing at us We have lost our identity can't you see this? The only way foward for England/Great Britain is within Europe whether you like it or not. You really have to stop looking into the past at what the English have down its 2004 now we have to look ahead of us. Remember we no longer have an empire anymore the main power in the world is america and were busy kissing there backside. - James 

WATE Comment – he can’t even spell but thinks we’re stupid!! What a freak.  

hello,
i read today in a national newspaper that the ENGLISH flag was not flying on government buildings, in support of our team out in portugal. MR. Blair, made the comment , when asked why the flag was not flying?, these are british government buildings and if we were to fly a flag it would be the union flag. also he stated that there was nothing sinister about it. sinister? where does that come into it? as for nationalism most of the racist parties that i knoiw of use the union flag, or am i wrong?. the cross of saint george over the last few years has been used more often by English football supporters or whoever to show a national identity which through political correctness and other things is being eradicated. i would bet my mortgage that if scotland or wales were at euro 2004 their government buildings would be showing there support, but lets not forget they have their own assemblies, to govern themselves, us ENGLISH are not allowed that right are we? yes i am bleating on, but i do have a scottish grandfather(deceased) and a welsh grandmother(deceased), but i was born english and i carry a very north european name - Richardson. i was born English and i am very proud of that fact. just a note i would also like to add, MR.Blair is scottish, he may have a fine oxford educated english accent, no doubt procured at a time when his parents got a grant to pay for that education(yes i have used the links). i am sorry if this e-mail sounds bitter, that is not my intention, but through the process of using my intelligence i am beginning to realise who is being screwed by who. long live saint george and England , the world might not like us or even envy us, but i do believe that all the flag waving and patriotism shown in the guise of a football tournament, does have for MR.BLair more sinister roots than he and his advisors may or may nor believe.i hate to say it ,as a tolerant Englishman, but unless ceritan people wake up to reality,there are many problems that lie ahead for us all. many thanks for providing an excellent site - Martin.

Dear wearetheenglish.com,My good friend Keith Francis from Portsmouth recommended your website and I love it. I moved to Knoxville, Tennessee in America a year ago but I celebrate St George's Day here more than I ever was allowed in London.  Please see enclosed a photograph of the permanent flag display on the side of my house.  Left Flag: St George Middle Flag: American  Right Flag: State of Tennessee.I get no grief over here at all about displaying my St George flag alongside the flag the my wife's country. I've been taken aback at how patriotic the Americans are and for the first time in my life I'm actually situated in a place where I can show off how proud I am to be English. I lived in Walthamstow, London before moving here and I would never have been permitted to fly the St George. I Love my country - brilliant website, well done.  Gary

Great site chaps pity there arnt more ppl around like us then this country of ours would br great again,godx save the queen and st george

What a fantastic website.  Especially for us Englishmen who now reside out of the country.  Makes me very homesick! Regards Parki

I just want to say hello to You, and express my respect to how You celebrate Your Country. It's so rare in present times.All the best, Tomasz

Hello.I'm italian. I live in Rome. Without arrogance I believe that my country and  my city have a glorious history, at least as your. Without arrogance I believe that my country produced a number of great men not less than your.But we don't have a site like 'wearetheenglish.com'. Maybe because we arenot arrogant? Or simply because we are more stupid than you? - Bye bye from Rome

Dear We Are The English.com, I am writing from Cardiff University to tell you what a wonderful idea I think the site is.  I have lived in Wales now for 10 years and have not in one second of those years given into the Welsh goading to cast off my Englishness and 'become welsh' (as if living here means I can be assimilated).  It has been a difficult task.  As the one English pupil in a school of 800 welsh, with a broad English accent it was not easy -
particularly as I had moved from Rugby, Warks, and to say this was much the
same as saying I came from a place called 'Football.'  As we all know
children in school can be remarkably blunt and offensive when they wish to
be and Englishness attracts about as much abuse as one can expect outside an army barracks.  In her workplace, my mother was subjected to such abuse that she would sometimes return home from work in tears.  Despite the Welsh
protestations that 'its all a bit of fun' and 'you should take it as a joke,
friendly rivalry' I have never once found attacks upon my nationality in the
slightest way funny and I scarcely need to add that I would NOT be asked to
were I asian or afro-Caribbean. Of course, Welsh patriotism is a license to
do just about anything or make any slur against the English that you wish,
as I am aware Scottish patriotism is in the North.  I, as you do, find it
very sad indeed that English patriotism is denied to us by whining lefties.
Its bad enough 'President' Blair trying to turn us all into Americans
without our own countrymen telling us we should be ashamed of who we are. 
We have all seen athletes like Colin Jackson and Jamie Baulch parading the
welsh flag around after athletic success, but I can't remember the last time
I saw a George cross flying proudly around an English athlete's shoulders (I
may just be out of touch with sport though!) - what a disgrace that would
be(!).  In short, I think wearetheenglish.com is a great idea and I hope you
receive growing support in the years to come as more and more of us become
aware of exactly what is going on in the UK at the moment with regard to
national identity. Secondly, I was wondering if there is any offical campaign for an ENGLISH national anthem - Land of Hope and Glory would be a belter at big occasions. And thirdly, Im looking for an English emblem for a tattoo design at the minute and was wondering if you could help? Of course the Rose and the lion rampant but was wondering what others there may be?
Keep up the excellent work and I look forward to hearing from you Cheers, Mike

As a patriot, serving paratrooper and proud Englishmen I was chuffed to find this web site. With foreigners literally at our door steps its important to know who we are, and let them know who's country they're in, and I think this web site aids this cause. Keep up the good work.  

had thought that most English people had given up all hope, after being battered for years by the propaganda  spewed out by the leftist apologists and revisionist historians and the never ending assaults on our rights, by politicians,who we are supposed to have voted to office, to represent our views. Thankfully, after reading your site, I now know that is untrue. Thankyou

hi. i like the site, but i can't seem to find any reference on there about how the english went out into the world (asia, africa, the americas), took all the resources for themselves, forced the natives into service and slavery, wrecked the countries, and left the native peoples to pick up the pieces.

I enjoyed reading your web page on English greats. I was, however, a little
disappointed to see that you failed to recognise or mention one of the
greatest (perhaps the greatest) Englishwoman in your list of English heroes.
I refer to Margaret Thatcher, one of the two greatest Prime Ministers the
country has had (the other being Winston Churchill). I'm sure I don't need
to remind you of her achievements, but I think a leader who presided over
the salvation of the economy, restored the nation's confidence and pride by
victory in the Falklands (while simultaneously restoring the freedom of 2000
British subjects), pursued policies which led to victory in the Cold War,
and smashed the stranglehold of socialism, not only in England but in much
of the world, deserves a mention on your excellent website. I must also
include her corageous stand on Europe, the famous Bruges speech, and her
subsequent formulation of a new and radical vision for Europe, one which
does not involve absorption into a multi national, multi cultural, federal
monolith. I could list many more achievements, but I'm sure you're already
aware of them, and I trust you will agree that Lady Thatcher deserves a
mention and a place among English greats. Respectfully yours, Ivan.

You describe Snorri as "Norwegian". In fact he was Icelandic, although he
served at the court of the Norwegian king.

Interesting site

What can I add in praise of England,the very word should make us all so proud to be an Englishman,no doubt about it we set the world on it's way, sorting out many threats to England on the way, I will  be flying England's flag on St Georges day,well done with the site keep it going cheer's John B Turner

Keep up the crusade my fellow countrymen, In these dark days of political correctness and anti Englishness (The evil dragon of our time), Stand tall, stand strong, stand proud and stand English!! WE are the blood and future of OUR land, and of OUR great saint,......Lets make George proud of his children!!! Steve,

Hello , Firstly , keep up the good work , I am Proud to be English and promote England whenever possible.Are there any candidates standing for Elections in the North East of England. I live in Darlington , County Durham , and there would be a lot of support for the English party and its ideals. We are organising a day out for St Georges Day and will be in our town centre,pubs, with leaflets and flags etc The time has come for us to stand up and be proud , to be English ! P.J.

Please put me on your mailing list.Fantastic site...there are people out there with exactly the same views as me!!!!  Keep up the good work,   Keith.

I just wanted to say thanks for putting such a great site together.  I emigrated from England 2 years ago, but I am very proud to be English, maybe more so now that I have left and realise how great it is. I have just spent 2 hours reading through the site and am very proud. Thank you. Happy St George's Day! I will be celebrating from 3000 miles away. Danielle

Rourkes Drift English you should be ashamed. I am from Monmouth Wales and My father was in the SWB. Most regiments in Wales had a English county name, not because they were English but because they were Run by English Politicians. Monmouthshire is very complex, that problem was by the Oxford  Papers that all of a sudden included Monmouthshire as English, this problem is still there now, but Monmouthshire is and always been very welsh, the English in the Regiment excluding the mixed up ones are from mainly the Forest of dean, which was actually a part of wales but came under the same problem.All I say to you is work out your facts. Wales has lost a lot of its heritage this wat. A Briton is originally a welsh person, coming from the Language family Breton of welsh tongue, so you have no right to call yourself British

WATE Comment – Don’t worry about that mate, we don’t. Just read this bit again - No more than 20 of the 140 men defending Rorke’s Drift were Welshmen. Of the eleven men awarded the Victoria Crosses three were Welsh, one Irish, one Swiss and the rest were English.

see just from your example no1 :english bowman, that you have no idea. These bowmen were welsh, and wore LEEKS (OR daffodils to differ themselves from the English. The English Bow is just in originality a Welsh Bow, and guess where the kING hENRY WAS BORN the master of Agincourt, Yes Monmouth ,wales and so were most of the archers, No2 wELSH PEOPLE Could be shot over the border after 12., but let us not forget that there were also rules for you frenchies, because the Saxons were not the ruling class. And let us add to your list that the English were the last people of Britain so how sad Ye Old English what you put on everything, and you have no claim to Arthur. Wellington won his war with mainly welsh people at wellington, and the backbone of the british Empire was secured by the Celtic people, and not the so called brave English. The thing that the English do have is political power and that is why then as now as then your brainwashing as come to power.CYMRU AM BYTH
