Roots (The Single Mix) by Show of Hands
About that song everyone seems to be talking
about. Download charts go up and down all the time but on
Monday it had got as high as number 3 in the HMV download
chart. Even my brother likes it and he's a right freak.

We don't need to add anything to the comments that have
already been left about the song. Here's a few of them:
"Brought tears to my eyes too, Christina. I hope
the English can re-claim their country before it's too late."
" Wow, they've really struck a chord
with this one. The English as a nation are slow to action
but unstoppable when they get moving - and I think I sense
the first stirrings of a sense of injustice which just might
get us our national identity and pride back at last. Who
knows, our own flag, anthem and nation might follow."
"Fantastic. Great sentiments. A rally
calling on people to learn about their culture. There's
really nothing wrong with it, you know."
"Fantastic song that should make
you proud to be English! This song is on the 2007 Folk Awards
CD along with the equally brilliant "Lucifer/Steelos"
by John Tams. Never thought I'd say this but go out and
buy this Folk album. Highly recommended."
"This is the intended theme tune
for a "Justice for England" march (approved) in
London on 1st May 2007.If you love England be there!"
"A lament for modern day England!
It was very powerful and the message needs to be heard SOON."
"Not many things bring a tear to
this old cynics eye. This did. 'I've lost St George in the
Union Jack - It's my flag too and I want it Back. HERE HERE
to that!
"Hairs standing up on the back of
my neck and i'm an Ulsterman."

Two Reports Highlight Just How Bad
Things Are
Quality of Life Survey 2007 has just placed Britain a miserable
37th in the best places to live – it must make Tony
Blair so proud. France and Australia came top while we languished
behind such notables as Bulgaria, Panama, Latvia, Estonia
and Slovenia. A recent survey by Bordeaux University of
2,750 Britons planning to move to France found the aim of
many was to recapture the gentler lifestyle, sense of community,
old-fashioned values and village markets that typified Britain
in the 1950s. They are chasing a lifestyle that has been
taken away from the average Englishmen by packing our small
country with uncontrolled immigration that has shattered
communities and fundamentally changed the very nature of
huge swathes of our country. It has taken the kind of rural
lifestyle that is still available in France far out of the
financial reach of all but the wealthiest of English people.
Hot on the heels of the Quality of Life Survey
came a further damming indictment of the policies of successive
governments when a report delivered to the United Nations
placed Britain as the worst place for children to be brought
up out of the 21 richest nations in the world. The report
took into account such things as family breakdowns, teenage
drinking, drugs, education and sex but to me the thing that
showed stark evidence of exactly what our country has become
was the fact that our country was the one where the fewest
children found others of the same age to be “kind
and helpful”
This is exactly what happens when we are led
by people who detest our history, have no affinity for the
English people and place the needs of other people above
that of our own. They measure our progress as a nation solely
on the growth of the economy, on GDP, on how much we consume
or how much we spend and everything else is subservient
to this.
The English people have lost so much; given
away by the likes of Tony Blair and his ilk who then have
the audacity to sell it to us a progress. It is nothing
of the sort. Who can look back fifty years and say that
our society is so much better now than then. What price
have we paid for their so-called progress when every other
person is on anti-depressants and we have more children
than ever before being brought up in homes where there has
never been a father present? Is it acceptable that violent
crime, teenage pregnancy, abortion and drug abuse have all
gone through the roof? What good is it that people now live
in fear of out of control teenagers and there are decent
hardworking English people living on the so-called “sink”
estates who feel utterly abandoned. The local councils can
go on spending money on new youth clubs and pool tables
but do you know what. It won’t make a blind bit of
difference because not having a new pool table isn’t
the problem. The problem is something that is deep rooted
and social in character and stems from a lack of any notion
of identity and the sense of pride and set of values that
flows from it. It is about having an understanding of who
you are and of feeling part of a community that values you
and to which you in turn have obligations to. At a time
when huge swathes of English cities seem to have adopted
something more akin to American street gang culture it is
now more important than ever for our English youngsters
to have a clear and strong sense of their own identity and
what it should stand for. All this is ignored because it
does not fit with New Labour ideology so instead we continue
to spend billions looking after newcomers to our land while
our soldiers die on foreign fields because of lack of equipment
and our pensioners die in their homes because they can’t
afford to put the gas fire on.
We don’t need reports to tell us how
bad things have got; we need only pick up a paper or walk
down any high street and we can see for ourselves that England,
and in particular the English have totally lost their way.
Whole cities have had their hearts ripped out and have been
turned instead into a soulless mish-mash of nothingness
and yet our political leaders do not have the honour or
integrity to admit their mistakes and that things are fundamentally
wrong. Instead they continue with the big lie that everything
that has happened is to be welcomed with open arms, that
we are moving forward, that diversity benefits us all and
that we all believe that it makes us so much stronger. These
are just politician’s words that mean nothing, but
which they believe people will come to accept as the truth
if they repeat them enough times. Our leaders – the
people who are charged with our protection – have
instigated an open door immigration policy that has allowed
others to come here who have nothing to offer the country
but their diversity. It is immigration for immigrations
sake and has inflicted on the English community a foreign
crime wave that is here now but was not here before.
How can they call it progress when so many
of our own people think that this country is finished and
leave by the planeload, social cohesion is at breaking point,
our entire sense of civic duty has gone and any notion of
community has disintegrated? Our leaders political policies
have allowed economic growth to ride rough shod over all
other aspects of our society including the general well
being and even the safety of the majority. They have been
allowed to do it by using the dogma of political correctness
to silence all dissenters and through 30 years of apathy
by the silent majority who have allowed a liberal minority
to lead us all by the nose They tell us how well off we
now are and how business is booming and then tell us that
we must now work till we are 70. Where has all the money
gone? The search for economic boom times is a false economy
for the vast majority of people when we take into account
the sheer bloody cost of it all not only in monetary but
also social terms. They tell us that we have so many more
policeman, but we also have so many more criminals. We have
so may more doctors and nurses but they also have so many
more people to treat. One of the issues raised in the UN
report on British children was that families did not benefit
from British workers putting in far more hours than virtually
everyone else but then we are told by our business leaders
that the “work ethic” of our eastern European
guests is far better than that of the "lazy" indigenous
workers. So are we suppose to be working more hours or less?
We are reaping what we have allowed to be sown and are seeing
before our eyes the results of the tunnel vision of so many
of our politicians in allowing the pursuit of economic growth
at the expense of everything else to become the major contributing
factor in the breakdown of social cohesion and the destabilisation
of the very fabric of our society.
Some people may think we are being overly
pessimistic but the danger is in the slow unnoticed downward
spiral and not actually realizing the full extent of what
we have actually lost. What can you name that was so bad
about our society before and why is it so much better now?
Hey, but at least we’ve got the 5th
largest economy on the planet. Progress I don’t think
so...
Business Leader – Migrant workers
are vital
Business leader Albert Ellis, Chief Executive at Harvey
Nash told a business summit that migrant workers are vital
to the British economy. He told them “All of us need
to look at the drivers behind migration, principally globalisation
and the longer term trends of demographics, intensifying
the forces of competition on an unprecedented scale”
It seems to us that Albert is taking the view
that as long as he can still turn a profit everything else
will have to play second fiddle to it. I don’t suppose
he lives in an area that has changed beyond all recognition
over the past 20 years or so and I bet his children don’t
reap the benefits of the same “diverse” and
“culturally enriching” education (in other words
classes where every other person speaks a different language)
that so many working class English children have had imposed
on them.
You see the English people haven’t just
suddenly turned into a bunch of mindless morons unable to
support themselves without the help of foreigners. Migrant
workers are yet another tool for the Labour government to
implement it’s own political ideology. A sense of
belonging and any sense of an English communal identity
are merely obstacles to be taken away. It allows big business
to lower wage bills and also to save money on investing
in the training and skills of English workers. It covers
up the wilful mismanagement of the labour market by our
own inept government. We are witnessing the change from
a largely skilled and relatively well-paid workforce into
an economy that is dependent on a low skilled, low wage
workforce. How long will it be before we are all stacking
shelves in Tesco or serving coffee at Starbucks? You can
see what they do time and time again. They mis-manage the
training, pay and working conditions of nurses for example,
to the extent that nobody wants to be a nurse. And then
instead of addressing these issues they instead import people
who are prepared to work under poorer conditions for lower
wages so that a few years down the line they tell us the
NHS would collapse without migrant workers. They allow in
a flood of eastern European haulage and HGV drivers who
do not have to hold the same HGV licences as the English
workers and will also work at much reduced rates. It is
no wonder that English men are not going to invest their
money and time into gaining a HGV licence to work for little
more than minimum wage. Again it won’t be long before
we are told “Where would we be without our Polish
drivers delivering our goods for us”
They again invite hundreds of thousands of
eastern Europeans in who undercut the indigenous workforce
in everything from plastering to cleaning. It means our
own people have to either work for less money or not at
all. They destroy the indigenous workforce and replace it
wholesale with cheaper immigrants so yet again, further
down the line they can tell us that we are nothing without
our Polish workers because without them our houses would
not get built and our offices would not get cleaned.
They have engineered the entire situation
for their own ends and they know full well about all the
negative consequences of immigration but they don’t
care because it doesn’t affect them. A report was
published last week showing that there are now more than
a 1000 gated communities in England with over 100,000 people
living in them. It is no coincidence that the vest majority
of these have been built over the last five years. What
does this steel fenced property boom tell us about the society
in which we now live? I wonder if Albert Ellis lives in
one?....
