fuck talking about race, national pride and all that bollocks, because that is so not what paul weller is singing about, and if you actually believe this song is about "english pride" then you are a moron. weller is a genius
where did multiculturalism came from anyway?? yes we can do it, but surely imposible to integrate all society, believe me I've tried.. and I ended discriminated... from a dutchman
why is wrong to love your country ? im proud to be english but im no rascist im proud to say my grandfather fought in ww2 to stop some mad fucking rascist !! he loved this country as i do !! i too have served my country and in my company with had people from all over the commonwealth black brown white etc we didnt give a fuck about what color each one of us was !! i fucking fed up with the pc brigade branding people rascist for loving our country !! if u dont like it fuck off !!
@btcc11 what does that mean? what a pathetic, pointless contribution. Presumably, because of an accident of birth, you're taking some kind of personal credit for that.... whatever you mean by "Britain" and "the modern world". It's a great wee song...and plonkers like yersel don't have a clue why.
@Hoxification What? He said England is gay and I'm giving him a reason why it isn't, and I'm not saying I like the modern world, it's a bit to, you know, corrupt for me.
at no point does he refer himself as a soldier,its about a guy missing his chick simple as that so less of the political bullsh*t,just enjoy the song.
Long live England, long live Paul Weller and this beautiful song, long live this great, open, intelligent and progressive country, long live the Queen, long live the commitment in foreign policy for peace, human rights and against the tyrants.

Who said to celebrate English customs and traditions you have to be a right-wing purist? So in other words the only reason people love England is because of other cultures and traditions? Why not celebrate those cultures and traditions then? They must view English folk traditions and customs with distain then and view it as being below other cultures. Well I happen to think English culture and traditions are just as good as every other culture in the world. Great song by the way.

Would you be able to build a christian church in Iraq,etc? Didn't think so. So why is it only white people are racist's? Why cant we have our country the way we want it? I would let anyone into this country I am not a racist. But when they try to change laws and abuse the systems (please don't say english people do too, I know they do but thats for us to deal with!!) and commit crimes of any level even petty they should be forced to leave, just as if I was invited into your home and
@layton7430 What about the many RAF pilots from Eastern Europe or Montgomery's Desert Rats in the Second World War. Patriotism means nothing, you were born here out of luck. Have some humility
its simple. you dont have to go in to goverment of race... this is a great and wondrous nation...but this country is is dirt and rock but on that dirt and rock has been bilt the greatest land known to man..and if somone holds dear and values that then let them stay no matter who they mite be but and this is a significant, if they do not, and they try to compromise this then put them down lower than whale shit and keep them there..i would expect no little from any other person
being born here, i despise this country. there is no country, there is no race. the quicker people realize that peace throughout human kind is the only way forward the better. nationalists and patriots have no ground bar the floor they share with the rest of the world.
Patriotism is what made this tiny country an empire that forged the modern world. Did multiculturalism rescue the world from the tyranny of fascism twice in the last century? Nope. England did. Anglo-Saxon, Church of England men and women. In 60 years we have become 'multicultural'. Interesting that the modern architect of this social experiment, Tony Blair, now says that multiculturalism 'doesn't work. One country, one flag, a common language, a common set of values. Too much to ask for?

Has no-one noticed that the video hasn't got a single image of the English flag in it?
Btw, this song was written about a girl. And as for all the blinkered people stereo-typing people who don't eat roast beef every Sunday...Get a clue, we've been a multi-cultural society for almost a century now and without it we wouldn't as rich as we are now.
To say you're a muslim and culturally as English as the next man is oxymoronic. The 'Nation' of Islam transcends all boundaries and a central pillar is 'Jihad', or holy war. Someting that Mohamed spent most of his life waging. Jihad is a political and military doctrine - not a faith - although arguably Mohamed began a cult of personality in his own lifetime. My question is when are moderate muslims going to reject Jihad as a concept? Because either you reject it or you're an armchair terrorist.
this song is beautiful, its just a shame people have to start using it as a political rallying point. dont get me wrong, i love my country but im no right-wing puritan. im proud because we can embrace other cultures and ways of life, thats what makes england a wonderful place for me. for the people using this song as an excuse to shout about 'fucking immigrants' paul weller would be appauled, he was a big time socialist and had nothing but respect for other walks of life. peace, love and unity x
Yes, you are aboslutely spot on. Weller described the BNP as 'nutters' and would be disgusted that they should attempt to use this beautiful song to further their poisonous purposes.
@samoman92 Just because this wonderful song has the word English in it, the left have to crawl out from beneath the rocks they dwell and to have a go. Why can't the English be as proud and as patriotic as any other nation? Stop hating (yourselfs mainly) and realise love and pride are one and the same.
@samoman92 shut up you wanker. Plus 13, lol, 13 middle class socialists then.
Gather you live in an "enriched" part of this country now then?
Or just another middle class left wing tosser going on about embracing cultures and how immigration has been great yet saying this from a rural english town/village.
If you were working class and grew up in an english inner city then you would understand why people vote british national party.
@samoman92 and yet are you for the 3 muslim states inside of the uk? they want more power and land inside of england mate, its hard not to look at england and love it but the more we let them in the more they want to change it to their ways more over then yours. Racist doesnt mean bigot it means looking in a different way at different people, britain for britian, and the other countries for themselves. and peace doesnt work not as long as someone that doesnt want it exisits
2:55 looks a lot like the East Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. If so, we're glad to be included in images of the English Rose. Either way, long live our mutual connexion! - I just read today that Obama had the bust of Churchill removed from the Oval Office. Is that true?
Nice photos of England apart from that pic of the traitorous Queen who signed away our ancient sovereignty when the 6th Lisbon Treaty was declared legal & thus allowing the EU TO over ride all English law . Oh ! BTW they have abolished the law of treason also, nice move !
pfft, you dudes are horrible. im muslim and proud, i live in england and this is the best country in the world. race culture identity, its all irrelevant, its a church of england country and its only right that it stays that way.
@snoopm24 St Georges day!!! Fuck that, apparently, he killed a Dragon... Fucking hell are you honestly that stupid? Patriotism is for IDIOTS who think they're great.
There is a difference between pride and prejudice, so stop calling the patriotic idiots. To discard national boundaries would remove a sense of territorial belonging. To be proud of our country does not necessarily have to translate into tension with nations abroad or any of that shit that is constantly brought up by the press, and to celebrate our traditions should be something citizens embrace, no matter what race. Love England and everything in it.
Does anybody here ACTUALLY realize that it's the United Kingdom as it is a Multicultural country. You're a paranoid intolerant moron if you do not understand that. And to be honest retarded comments like the ones posted and voted up are ones that'll get you sent to jail. hanmergrant you're a retarded close minded scum bag who deserves to be shot.
@theblackmafia71 OK dipshit, this may be delayed but, I give you an entire paragraph and your mentality allowed you to reply with that, if anyone who reads both sides and is not here to kiss england's ass you will understand how retarded this video is. 1 the music is shit 2 patriotism is what generates wars for no reason, it's what gets people killed and it makes people courageous another factor to getting killed you people if you had the knowledge would probably start genocide
@theosmertron I agree with you. Why is it always muslims? 30 years ago it was the Irish. In 30 years time it will probably be another denomination. Just stop all of these stupid generalisations and prejudices against people who's views seem to be represented in the media by a minority. It's not good...
I hope england get there independance then us scots wont have to subsidize your lazy arse or listen to ure bitching and complaining any longer..good riddence
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
BNP voters are idiots because if it wasnt for immagrants then the shitty jobs they do wont get done because no supposedly proper english person will do it cos there lazy the real problem is the people who sit on there arse all day sponging off society and what if nick griffin did get all the immagrants out of the country then what he has nothing to do cos thats his main focus not the economy or the mp's expenses scandal hes a one trick pony that only impresses narrow minded retards
I haven`t bothered going through all of the comments but... at 2:34, it`s a picture of the changing of the guards in Ottawa, Canada. It was taken from the steps near the entrance to the parliament buildings and what you see is the East Wing Building. I guess, in a way, Canada is still a bit of an English rose.
Great song, but why are there so many Union Flags in the clips, England is a red and white cross, the blue is the Scots, this song isn't called British Rose..
Those poor guys in the trenches,they must be turning in their graves at the state of this country now.Their bravery knew no bounds and now it all seems to be forgotten..RIP heroes
Lions led by Donkeys thing is nothing has changed we see the queen lay her wreath on armistice day and all the politicians try to look sincere but it still goes on ,they just spit on the graves of the brave young men who were slaughtered for their country ,i love my country but hate what it has become
england rose/ what the/ pictures of the BRITISH ARMY union flags all over the place will you goons ever get it right???? I don't think so. Nearly forgot the english rugby team glareing over the water to France LOL
Could you lot please use some other video other than a band as great as the jam to spout your blind nonsense? Preferbly a EDL/BNP video. Cheers. What a terrific song and band. The video doesnt really fit though
ITS NEALY OVER FOR ENGLAND,just a matter of time,if your thinking of moving here,HURRY, we only have a few places left,it heleps if you have a few kids you will get a house ,HURRY ONLY A FEW PLACES LEFT,
Ah, those were the days when you could call Britain Great
just a faded memory now
so, we need to move on, build more mosques and get more multi-cultural. All remnants of Britiains past such as nelsons column should be removed to a museum for example and somethnig put in its place such as one of those mecca moon stary things you see on top of mosques representing openess and peace.
buck palace should be down graded and parts of it be used for embassys reflecting englands diversity
Europeans protect your nation protect your race protect your families protect your history protect your future protect your country protect Europe PROTECT YOUR SELF!!!!
Ever hear the phrase "the sun never sets on the British Empire"? Do we really want to keep up the reputation of being those nasty right wing gits who don't care about any other human but themselves? My great uncle fought with Gurkhas and foreigners to stop Hitler and fascists alike. I for one could never vote for somebody who thinks Hitler's ideas were the way to go and that the holocaust never happened.
That is unfortunately where we decend but at the same time the imperial empire introduced alot of engineering revolutions and trade to other countries most colonys ive been to dont speak bad of the british. as long as labour stay in power the sun still wont set on the empire as they still invading BNP will put a halt to all that and keep there nose out of people countrys.
Well the phrase "the sun never sets on the British Empire" is meant to say that at any one time there is a colony experiencing daylight. However Britain now only consists of one state (arguably a few), so your comment is void. Britain hasn't 'invaded' a country for years my friend, regardless of the fact that we're fighting an unjust war (imo). Why is it that all people who follow the BNP are complete fucking idiots? I mean look at your fucking comment man. I'm 14, and I know that's bad.
Exactly your 14, im 28 ive seen the country change vastly and no one has listened to the white working class you only think its wrong cus you are told it at school and by the media hopefully one day you will have your own mind
I have my own mind, far beyond what you may think. I'm a far left socialist. You were born in 82, so the most you've seen is.. conservative -> Labour and let's face it that wasn't really a change. I'm influenced and encouraged by people twice your age who share my views. When something like this goes to shit, the answer is not "GET OWT DA ASIANZ", the answer is to be RATIONAL. The BNP won't put a stop to anything. They will have a "You can't come in but we can walk all over the world" attitude
BNP are far more complex than you describe as get out all asians that is a narrow minded view of the BNP. BNP ask questions like why do we have mass immigration what are the benefits to our nation. Why are we racists to preserve our identity. the walk all over the world attitude certainly isent a BNP policys theres is not to interfere with other countries. like the Labour party who have waged an illegal war in Iraq hence walking all over the world.
The BNP policy is to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, both Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons have spoken as much in the EU Parliament, Nick has also told the EU NOT to declare war on a Sovereign Iran, how is that walking all over the world.
The BNP's election video motto is 'support our troops, bring them home'
BNP members you class as all fucking idiots could be something to do with they are from the most deprived areas of Britian and carry the burden off mass immigration.
I can hear an excercise going on near my house in the army training grounds behind my local TA centre. I used to be up there with them but I'm at uni now. Strangely, listening to this song while hearing their gunfire is a v patriotic feeling for me, because I know why they're training; for all of us at home. Army, Navy or RAF, all deserve 100% respect and gratitude from us.
I am proud to be scottish. I along with my forefathers fought for what is right. We all fought in the BRITISH Army. Our traditions and laws are now at risk from these immigrants that are piling into my country on a daily basis. It is time to stand up and be counted. Our heritage is being eaten away by these parasites, if they are allowed to grow the way they are doing then our children will suffer at their hands. Vote BNP, show that you care about our GREAT BRITAIN... Rule Britannia !!
PROTEST. Challenge every Islamist march on every street and every street corner. Remember your grandfathers who fought and shed their blood to preserve our English way of life. Honor them by fighting for your birth right.
@hanmergrant I couldn't agree with you more.I don't live in the UK which I love,but here in Italy too we are being threatened by the muslims,who are being helped and given all they haven't earned by our foolish government..and then they say we're racist?where?how?look how they treat us in their countries!the muslims are racist and intolerant!against gays and blacks etc. they want mosques everywhere,soon the'll force our women to wear veils like theirs..they're the real social threat to Europe!
@hanmergrant Yeah, I remember my grandfather - he fought with the 42nd Indian regiment in Asia, North Africa and Italy. He was their captain. Good, Indian, Hindu and Muslim men died for our freedom as well, you know?
firstly, 'scouse' is not a race, you idiot. secondly, probably not, because i imagine that you're an uneducated northern dickhead that wouldn't be capable of any form of adult argument, and so would resort to violence (and i imagine this comment will probably be followed with a threatening comment of sorts, despit the obvious fact that we will never meet each other).
@ossyrefugee fantastic, i'm glad to hear you hate southeners... hopefully this hatred will inspire you to stay in the shithole you currently reside in. Is very telling that you have developed a 'hatred' (used loosely) of an individual based on two youtube comments, which to be frank is rather pathetic.
I love the old idea of England and how our previous imperialistic generations thought of the world, not the new and present country....its all gone wrong. Do we need another civil against the liberalists ruining our national identity?
I'm not English but this video is great. Thank you for making it. And you are not alone. As an outsider one sees England in decay, just like many other places, but I can only imagine what you real English must feel like. I think it's time for you to clean up the houses and bring it back to its glory. The England we all know and miss. I'm glad English like you still exist. Please get rid of that filth that has infested your country. If I was English I would go for the BNP. I see no other choice.
Look, it's not about RACE. It's about CULTURE. The cultural fascism of euro socialists, whooly-headed liberals and Islamists is the threat to English culture, not the color of anyone's skin. The UKIP is the party that gets that. Close our borders, stop pouring money into other euro states to help them beat us into poverty, withdraw from the Convention of Human Rights which is the whole reason why we can't police our own borders. I don't give a damn about 'race'.
the EU have spent 60 billion on this country's education in a single year. England's culture will never go, for it will always be in our spirits and in our hearts. But if the EU are going to help us out then so be it
It is about race also, race is part of our heritage! We need to stop letting bankers and money men who run and control the bank of england! Stop them putting our government into imposible debts. We need to nationalise everything and make money work for the people of OUR country. No offence but we HAVE to put OUR people first and completely stop immigration!!! There are enough workers here now!!
@hanmergrant Your words are extremely true m8,i couldnt agree more.Lets look after our own once great land firstly & foremostly.I voted UKIP coz im so worried wots happening 2 this fine country of ours??Yes we are still the best country that has ever been created but we are on a very rapid decent??? RACE AINT NOTHING 2 DO WITH IT. RULE BRITANNIA & G.S.T.Q.
@hanmergrant im married to a muslim woman and we're as culturally british as the next man. your a fuckin idiot because the word "muslim" does not culturally denote one peoples. my wifes family is originally indian which makes their attitude markedly different to a family from afghanistan or morocco or indonesia. the groups that most of you dumbasses have a problem with are from afghanistan/pakistan so stop tainting the rest of us
@hanmergrant Has no-one noticed that the video hasn't got a single image of the English flag in it?
Btw, this song was written about a girl. And as for all the blinkered people stereo-typing people who don't eat roast beef every Sunday...Get a clue, we've been a multi-cultural society for almost a century now and without it we wouldn't as rich as we are now.
I think you fail to realise the brutality of the BNP. I'm English, i love England with all my heart, and if Foreigners want to live here (at a controlled rate) then I have no problem with that. AS LONG as they act British and think British. Indeed, Britain is losing its identity; but by making compromises which lead to dispute and racism, you assist this great loss. What happened to our pride, and our honor? Our ability to protect the under dog? The british thing to do is to invade BNP offices.
fuck talking about race, national pride and all that bollocks, because that is so not what paul weller is singing about, and if you actually believe this song is about "english pride" then you are a moron. weller is a genius

To say you're a muslim and culturally as English as the next man is oxymoronic. The 'Nation' of Islam transcends all boundaries and a central pillar is 'Jihad', or holy war. Someting that Mohamed spent most of his life waging. Jihad is a political and military doctrine - not a faith - although arguably Mohamed began a cult of personality in his own lifetime. My question is when are moderate muslims going to reject Jihad as a concept? Because either you reject it or you're an armchair terrorist.

this song is beautiful, its just a shame people have to start using it as a political rallying point. dont get me wrong, i love my country but im no right-wing puritan. im proud because we can embrace other cultures and ways of life, thats what makes england a wonderful place for me. for the people using this song as an excuse to shout about 'fucking immigrants' paul weller would be appauled, he was a big time socialist and had nothing but respect for other walks of life. peace, love and unity x

Why can't the English be as proud and as patriotic as any other nation? Stop hating (yourselfs mainly) and realise love and pride are one and the same.

@smjmaste1 Shut up, you arrogant cunt.
There is a difference between pride and prejudice, so stop calling the patriotic idiots. To discard national boundaries would remove a sense of territorial belonging. To be proud of our country does not necessarily have to translate into tension with nations abroad or any of that shit that is constantly brought up by the press, and to celebrate our traditions should be something citizens embrace, no matter what race. Love England and everything in it.

Well the phrase "the sun never sets on the British Empire" is meant to say that at any one time there is a colony experiencing daylight. However Britain now only consists of one state (arguably a few), so your comment is void.

The BNP won't put a stop to anything. They will have a "You can't come in but we can walk all over the world" attitude
televisewhatyouwant 2 years ago
BNP are far more complex than you describe as get out all asians that is a narrow minded view of the BNP. BNP ask questions like why do we have mass immigration what are the benefits to our nation. Why are we racists to preserve our identity. the walk all over the world attitude certainly isent a BNP policys theres is not to interfere with other countries. like the Labour party who have waged an illegal war in Iraq hence walking all over the world.

The BNP policy is to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, both Nick Griffin and Andrew Brons have spoken as much in the EU Parliament, Nick has also told the EU NOT to declare war on a Sovereign Iran, how is that walking all over the world.

I think you fail to realise the brutality of the BNP. I'm English, i love England with all my heart, and if Foreigners want to live here (at a controlled rate) then I have no problem with that. AS LONG as they act British and think British. Indeed, Britain is losing its identity; but by making compromises which lead to dispute and racism, you assist this great loss. What happened to our pride, and our honor? Our ability to protect the under dog? The british thing to do is to invade BNP offices.
