@CaribDevist Because I'm excited about moving, I like calling people swine, and I like confusing people. For example: Do you know how many species of parrots there are? And yet none of them shoot lazes! Think about it.
Let's clear this up, If you are from England you are English if you are from Scotland you are Scottish, If you are from Wales you are Welch but all of these are British
I have a doubt. So If you move from England to Wales, are you still in the same country or are you in another one? Because to the world the UK is considered a united government so one country? or am i wrong?
@mralanv The United Kingdom is just that, a Kingdom. It is several countries that make up one nation, or sovereign state. If you go from England to Wales, you are in a different country, but the same nation.
@NeglectedField Until the post war period England was also used to mean Britain in Scotland, Wales and Ireland. In fact proud scots would refer to themselves as Englishmen, when what they meant really was Briton. That is just how it was prior to this plague of nationalism.
@TLSUk Sorry, but that's complete rubbish. No Scotsman has ever, ever referred to himself as English. Ever. This doesn't imply any animosity towards the English - but it would be as strange as describing ourselves as Irish or Norwegian...
@TLSUk Moreover, it has nothing at all to do with Nationalism. Nationalists want Scotland to leave the United Kingdom. Unionists want Scotland to remain a part of the United Kingdom. None of this has anything to do with Scotland being a part of England, which it has never been (with the exception of a very brief spell under Cromwell). I really don't understand your logic at all.
@JoanBeatrington001 We joined the war because of Hitler's invasion of Poland. We "butchered" our european cousins because they were led by a mad dictator! It is true that what was once revered as being English is dying out, however as long as there remains a few on this island who're willing to keep their upper lips stiff, then there'll always be an England
@GaladedridDamodred Our madness is not only a handicap - sometimes - it is also part of our charm & a secret strength known only to those mad enough to be one of us.
Always be an England? Do you really believe this? The British fought to defeat the German invaders and butchered their own European cousins due to Jewish interests, yet when it comes to Multiculturalism, a true destruction and a irreversible demographic cultural shift that will reduce the British to a minority, Nobody seems to care because they have been programmed and guilted by mainstream sickening media propaganda into thinking Racism is worse then defending your own people. A slow death...
I hope there will always be England but first we have have to get rid of the LibLabCon treason lobby in government. Ask a WW2 veteran why they fort and the will tell you "So we don't need to speak German". Go to London and you wont hear much German but you wont hear much English either.
@wispa2 My great grandfathers died defending Germany and Spain from misguided allies and evil Bolsheviks. You should of fought with us. Your victory meant your nations end. I'm sorry it had to be this way. Maybe next time we will work together and our honor our ancestors.
Watching this makes me feel i born in the wrong generation.....i would have loved to have been in the hay-day of the british empire....we the people are the chains That we will not break.Rule Britannia
@poorsod3 - your nick should be: poorsad, because you are very poor and sad if you are not proud of great history of your Empire, of Empire which taught Civilization a lot of nations. I'm not living in fantasy. Great Britain will be great again and men as you are will go to Australia for exile again. If someone is not proud of being Briton it mean that he/she is psychically demented.
And please, use essential arguments, not threats. I'm not scared, especially not such big assholes as you.
I am from the Netherlands and I love the United Kingdom , my father is a historian , and knows alot of the UK too of course, I love your language and culture.
I'm an American, and I have to say that this song is pretty cool. I like how the pictures in the video demonstrate a desire to retain cultural and national identity. NO EU! haha! I totally agree!
England's not pinin'! 'It's passed on! This Country is no more! It has ceased to be! Expired and gone to meet its maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, It
rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the North Sea id be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now history! It's off the twig! It has kicked the bucket, it's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-COUNTRY! .
Maybe it's because William Wallace was hanged, drawn and quartered with his severed HEAD ending up on the sharp end of an Ensglish spike and displayed for all to see for his treachery...
When are the English people going to stand up and kick these spounging Muslims and Blacks out of our cities and beloved countryside?
When I pass Birmingham, London, Bradford or Manchester I am utterly confounded how we let it get this bad. A nation and people that once exported our ideas to the far ends of the Earth... reduced to accept the total destruction of our country, values, traditions, religion and people.
British forever! No matter what the political situation, I will always be British, even if the union breaks apart (God forbid), I'll still be British. When I die, I'll die British, through and through, God will greet me in heaven as He is my fellow Brit.
Why did we allow America to take our power? No offense to them but I think we should reclaim our lost lands! David Cameron is not a real Englishman because he wants to see our blessed England fall! What would St. George and St. Alban say?!
From a Christian view point, no matter how many times we are attacked, God shall save England. God is an Englishman!! That's one thing America can't take from us!!
@hunfitz uh....sorry.? Im an American and I love England-and teh whole UK of course :) But dnt blame evryone here, theres some great admirers here too.
@hunfitz God is most certainly not an Englishman. I am an Englishman and so not want to be labelled as holding countryman status with that particular tyrant.
God will not save this country its inhabitants will, like they have done for years. No need to thank pretend sky daddy, thank your parents and their parents and their parents and so on.
An interesting thing is that, back before WWII, people in Britain actually referred to the whole of Great Britain as England, even the Scots, Welsh and Irish. The Prime Minister of Great Britain, Lloyd George even signed the Treaty of Versailles as the Prime Minister of England. So when this song was recorded, England, means all of Britain, so in a way, the William Wallace is justified.
lol i was wondering the same thing--likely because he will be forever linked to the fight for freedom--regardless of nationality.Great song and Vera is masterful .By the way--though it won't get me a dime Wallace is in my mom's famliy tree tho for manymany yrs the family line of mine has been british.\
Im pretty sure it dont actually count as an invasion if somebody opens the door and lets you in. When the Netherlands "Invaded" most of the English at the time supported it. There was no beach warfare or other such fighting that the word invasion suggests. The only resistence came from a small number of loyalist ships while the rest of the royal navy was in port at dover and/ or overseas. We had a puppet Dutch King in a time where parliment had rule of law. Much like now with our German queen.
@Scolar82 Wallice is actually fair game on the sideshow, the song is about the union (I.E. England, Scotland, Wales and, the then Ireland) After all the lyrics are "Red, white and blue, what does it mean to you" last I looked the English flag is red and white while the union flag on the other hand is Red, White and Blue.
When the song was first recorded it was commonplace to refer to the union as England and not Britain or the UK.
"The empire too, we can depend on you" how times have changed eh? :(
Ohh well, at least will still own parts of Cyprus, a few Islands, Part of Spain (Gibraltar), the Falklands, parts of the Caribbean and part of Antarctica?
@worthatronproduction we've claimed a portion of antartica, its british antaric territory. but in general no one recognises claims to antartica, the only countries that do are britain, australia and new zealand, who all recognise each others claims. Our claimed areas overlaps with other countries. But it does exist, has its own flag and coat of arms.
Athens, Sparta, and Rome remain, they're just populated by people other than the ones who founded the civilization, people who are for the most part brown folks and who happen to hate and detest the values upon which those ancient civilizations were founded...
Sure there will always be an England, it will just be populated by vicious brown Islamic/Arabic/Pakistani folks who despise everything Anglo-Saxon civilization stands for. Goodbye Magna Carta, hello Sharia law.
Is a log time maybe you should sort your sad little life out and move!!
German I will educate you. The second world war; Hitler and his men mass genoside happening ask your Grandad if your not sure. Anyway Britian and Churchill want the world to be free and decide to put an end to Hitler and his war machine. Wars are expensive and Britian had to borrow alot of money. Empires are also expensive to maintain. Thats the short of it.
@Segelfliegerkamerad you need to know that to be born english is to win the lottery of life and by the way we took all your overseas empires from you before we gave them away!!!
@TheTheTheDanny Perhaps, but for how much longer? I can tell you firsthand that the idea of a republic grows more attractive to the Australian people by the day.
@TheTheTheDanny How quickly we forget our roots! Australians are perversely proud of their heritage as a prison colony. Many Australians claim descent (truthfully or otherwise) from convicted criminals. This should tell you much.
@smoochym I'm more centre-left than anything, and I couldn't speak for my friends. I mean the people who would have brought in a republic under the right-wing Howard government if the base-born, scum-sucking, black-hearted scunners hadn't put two republican options forward, thereby dividing the voters, as opposed to the single monarchic option. But don't take my word for it, I was just a kid at the time. I'd look it up; it's not wise to take at face value stuff people tell you over the internet.
@smoochym Not really frothing. Fuming, perhaps. Why would I want to change your mind? Reserve your right to think for yourself. And like I said, don't take my word for it. I was seven or eight years old at the time, and hindsight is ever-perfect. There's a whole Wikipedia article on the referendum in question if you're interested, but I suppose after my remark about not taking things at face value, referring you to a Wikipedia article is a little hypocritical.
@shanepaulcoward VERA LYNN would be well Peeeeeeeeed off & so would the soldiers who died for our country. Our Government sold us OUT AGAIN Theyve kept US all busy and kept the Media silent and not mentioned ridding of our Sovereignty THIS GOVERNMENT are doing everything they Promised not too.
Our Police whos wages we pay are Government bouncers & our Military are Fighting for what ? Our Freedom slowly but Truly being taken by these control freaks . I wish the people would WAKE UP!!
Brilliant stuff, this. I want every English person to wake up each day and say "Hello there, English person. We've done rather well for ourselves. No reason to be ashamed. Yes, we did the empire but we've atoned for that bit. Chin up! We're a rather fine nation." Just be candid with ourselves. We're not a bad country, really.
Therell always be an England so long as there is blood in my veins,air in my lungs and hope in my heart. Say no to mass immigration and islamic terrorists, England is for the English!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So proud!!!!
@london1st England is for the English? Where on Earth did you get that idea? From the Romans? Or was it the Normans? Perhaps the Saxons? Everyone came from somewhere else.
@GaladedridDamodred and in all cases one culture dominated the other in time usually through right of conquest. Multiculturalism is the next step towards a different England where the old culture is gone but through a different means. If that is good or bad is yet to unfold but most of Europe and America are multicultural yet everywhere else has their own culture and traditions which they hold dear. The only thing we all have in common is we all have a starbucks and a mcdonalds :p
@StokeCasual123 So a person who's grown up in Birmingham, who only speaks English, who's never been outside the country, who is just like every other Englishman on the street in every way except that his parents came from Poland isn't English?
@StokeCasual123 Actually it depends if you talking about heritiage or citizenship. He'd be an english citizen, but his heritiage is Polish. So actually he'd be both.
@GaladedridDamodred His ethnisity would most likely be polish and his citizenship would most likely be english. But what has all the rest to do with it? I'm a norwegian by ethnisity, and hertitiage, I've lived all my life in Norway and my lojalty will always be with Norway - but I speak three languages and travel alot. I will never be english or british, but that's okay, I want to be norwegian and norwegian I am. That doesn't hinder me from listening to brilliant Very Lynn from time to time.
@fatpie Im English born and bread and very much keep my culture and heritag alive and that will be passed to my kids as my fathers passed it to me, the more people try to erode our culture and Englishness the more we'll fight to preserve it, the reason groups such as the BNP are on the rise isnt due to immigration, its due to all the WHITE lefty patronising hippys who try to destroy our people. Brainwashing only works on the weak minded, the real English are here and were going nowhere.
@GaladedridDamodred Oh god we give up on cricket years ago I think.. think we're about to give up on football as well! Only sport we're good at now is rugby and no one cares about it!
@MarcZERO1980 Well, if you want to be exact like that, you'd have to dislike the Union Jack in this video, I guess. Since it doesn't only stand England but also the 'filthy Scots' and all, doesn't it?
@kankurouyumi90 Urgh he's a twat ignore him.. he forgets the "filthy Scots" pitched in building the Empire as well. He also forgets that Britain is a strong part of English heritage therefore should be celebrated all the same.
@calvinhobbesliker2 Yes, at behest of Parliament. Parliament dictated the terms of William III's rule and greatly limited his power. The Dutch assisted us by invading, they did not conquer us.
Fuck the BNP. From America.

"The empire too, we can depend on you" how times have changed eh? :(

Well, at least there will always be an England ;)

@worthatronproduction we've claimed a portion of antartica, its british antaric territory. but in general no one recognises claims to antartica, the only countries that do are britain, australia and new zealand, who all recognise each others claims. Our claimed areas overlaps with other countries. But it does exist, has its own flag and coat of arms.

Athens, Sparta, and Rome remain, they're just populated by people other than the ones who founded the civilization, people who are for the most part brown folks and who happen to hate and detest the values upon which those ancient civilizations were founded...
Sure there will always be an England, it will just be populated by vicious brown Islamic/Arabic/Pakistani folks who despise everything Anglo-Saxon civilization stands for. Goodbye Magna Carta, hello Sharia law.

Sparta hardly contributed to Anglo-Saxon civilisation either.

Is a log time maybe you should sort your sad little life out and move!!
German I will educate you. The second world war; Hitler and his men mass genoside happening ask your Grandad if your not sure. Anyway Britian and Churchill want the world to be free and decide to put an end to Hitler and his war machine. Wars are expensive and Britian had to borrow alot of money. Empires are also expensive to maintain. Thats the short of it.

@smoochym I'm more centre-left than anything, and I couldn't speak for my friends. I mean the people who would have brought in a republic under the right-wing Howard government if the base-born, scum-sucking, black-hearted scunners hadn't put two republican options forward, thereby dividing the voters, as opposed to the single monarchic option. But don't take my word for it, I was just a kid at the time. I'd look it up; it's not wise to take at face value stuff people tell you over the internet.

@smoochym Not really frothing. Fuming, perhaps. Why would I want to change your mind? Reserve your right to think for yourself. And like I said, don't take my word for it. I was seven or eight years old at the time, and hindsight is ever-perfect. There's a whole Wikipedia article on the referendum in question if you're interested, but I suppose after my remark about not taking things at face value, referring you to a Wikipedia article is a little hypocritical.

Brilliant stuff, this. I want every English person to wake up each day and say "Hello there, English person. We've done rather well for ourselves. No reason to be ashamed. Yes, we did the empire but we've atoned for that bit. Chin up! We're a rather fine nation." Just be candid with ourselves. We're not a bad country, really.

@GaladedridDamodred and in all cases one culture dominated the other in time usually through right of conquest. Multiculturalism is the next step towards a different England where the old culture is gone but through a different means. If that is good or bad is yet to unfold but most of Europe and America are multicultural yet everywhere else has their own culture and traditions which they hold dear. The only thing we all have in common is we all have a starbucks and a mcdonalds :p

@StokeCasual123 Actually it depends if you talking about heritiage or citizenship. He'd be an english citizen, but his heritiage is Polish. So actually he'd be both.

@StokeCasual123 Kind of my point. To be English is to identify as English; to live in the country, to love it, be proud of it.
GaladedridDamodred 1 year ago
@GaladedridDamodred His ethnisity would most likely be polish and his citizenship would most likely be english. But what has all the rest to do with it? I'm a norwegian by ethnisity, and hertitiage, I've lived all my life in Norway and my lojalty will always be with Norway - but I speak three languages and travel alot. I will never be english or british, but that's okay, I want to be norwegian and norwegian I am. That doesn't hinder me from listening to brilliant Very Lynn from time to time.

@fatpie Im English born and bread and very much keep my culture and heritag alive and that will be passed to my kids as my fathers passed it to me, the more people try to erode our culture and Englishness the more we'll fight to preserve it, the reason groups such as the BNP are on the rise isnt due to immigration, its due to all the WHITE lefty patronising hippys who try to destroy our people. Brainwashing only works on the weak minded, the real English are here and were going nowhere.
