This website is here as a celebration of England and
all things English. We feel that now, more than at any other time, the
English culture and the very idea of being English is under attack, and
it is about time we started to grab back a bit of what has been taken
from us over the last thirty years.
During that time the English people have been subjected
to a constant policy of de-culturisation. One of the results of this is
that, nowadays, instead of associating Englishness with our unique history,
sense of humour, the values that our people have always placed on freedom,
politeness, fair play and tolerance, many people can only see as far back
as two world wars and one world cup. (Having said that, if you are going
to shout about anything, it's not bad subject matter is it?).
England and Englishness are the only things that everyone
in the country has in common. They should be the things that unite us
and bind us all together. This is unlikely to be realised when different
cultures are constantly rammed down our throats, serving only to highlight
the differences between us, setting up barriers and "tribalising"
people.
Throughout our history we have always given more to this
world than we have taken and for this we should start celebrating our
country and our history and stop apologising for it. Being proud of who
we are shouldn't be seen as a threat to anyone else, it should in fact
be something positive. Seeing ourselves as one people under one flag,
and by being proud and confident in our identity and our country, can
surely only bring benefits to us all.
