    It would therefore be very unlikely that you are not related to a certain King in our Cathedral.

    And if I am related to THAT King,

    I would be related to ALL Monarchs

    Are you English? I always thought I was, never lived anywhere else, but I'm thinking that might not be enough.

     

    The deeply contentious debate around what it means to be English - BBC News

     

    https://share.google/xvu8YnRZMhLZEDiCt

     

    The bit that surprised me was this...

     

    The poll suggested that 74% of English people believe that someone can be English regardless of their skin colour or ethnic background.

     

    Or to put it another way, 26% believe that non-white people can't ever be English. Which to me is racist and thereby over a quarter of people are racist - which I find surprisingly high. Possibly because the people I choose to spend my time with aren't racist and I wouldn't spend any time with someone who was overtly racist.

     

    And the whole St George thing. You know, the legendary Palestinian freedom fighter.  Not sure that all proud patriots would be happy with that. England didn't even exist when he died. The dragon motifs you see are weird too - so you celebrate him by portraying his mortal foe?

     

    Apparently, it used to be St Edmund until the 14th century, which would at least make some sense, as he actually was English (though maybe only a second generation immigrant).

     

    "But we'll all be speaking foreign!" I hear 26% of you cry. Really? You want English to stay the same? Perhaps we should go back to Shakespearian English, which so many people complain about not being able to understand, despite not being very difficult at all. Nah, sod that, let's go back to Old English - now there's a challenge!

     

    Fæder ūre, þū þe eart on heofonum,
    sīe þīn nama ġehālgod.
    Tōbecume þīn rīċe.
    Ġewurþe þīn willa on eorðan swā swā on heofonum.

     

    This is a very famous piece of text. Anyone?

    Point made, I think.

     

    People, and as a result national identity, evolve.

    You adapt or you die. Clinging to old traditions is quaint, but not necessary. I mean, we all mourn the loss of vinegar Valentines (sending cruel cards to people you don't like on Feb 14) and bear-baiting, and I'd happily put many a Morris dancer on the ducking stool, but we can create our own traditions that in future times will tell people who WE were and not leave them thinking that we were people from centuries earlier.

     

    I find myself wondering - if this country was invaded by a foreign nation, and that nation demanded we adopt all their customs and language, but got the NHS running perfectly, no wait times, less illness, cancer and heart surgery success tripled; brought cheap, efficient transport links, no potholes in roads, well lit streets; put police on the streets, reduced crime by 500%, people felt much safer, shoplifting almost unheard of; cheap gas and electricity with helpful calls centres and prompt attention to any problems, clean water provided by efficient water companies who have help to make the waters of British rivers clean and safe; plenty of affordable housing without stacking people on top of eachother or building on flood plains; pubs, clubs, theatres and cinemas reopening across the land, high streets full of vibrant traders, almost zero unemployment and schools and universities that produced outstandingly talented youth.

     

    If all this (of course it hypothetical), I can guarantee you, because they were foreign, and simply because of that, people would rise up and try to get rid of them. England might be crap, but it's OUR crap!

     

    Life is strange. :dunno:

    DNA test suggests that i am English....

    Or at least a good cobbling of pre 1100AD invader types that match what English actually is.

     

    Also, humourously, cousins on both sides are confirmed as my cousins...  therefore i also have no doubt as to my parantage!

    Possibly but it is also not unknown for offenders to claim they have been stabbed when they haven't.  

    That was a real copper cock up.

    Have seen the bodycam footage and the search of Novac wasnt thorough enough to see if he had a weapon himself, let alone any stab wounds (the wet and sticky test.

    Ex filthy copper talking here.  The standard of Police body searching has gone completely downhill.

    Going back some time- how the actual **** did that Custody Sergeant get shot?

    Are Police too scared ti do their job because of a two-tier racial system?

    I dont know; i left in 2003 before it got stupid.

    Don't know how many of you have tiktok but I landed on this which explains our financial plight and why a takeover is incredibly unlikely. It was made late last season but discussion is clear over what league one means for us

    I found something similar on the back of a fag packet down the boozer

    Also, Rudkin’s accidentally booked the wrong Vicky Vixen for the photoshoot. It’s still going ahead. 

    Is the one he booked a lap dancing specialist?

    Our recent appointments have been dreadful apart from Enzo. 
    Even under Enzo it was a bore fest to watch. 
    It will be more down to luck than good judgement who we end up with next imo. 

    Enzo would also have been found out the next season.  We only just scraped being Champions, and if the season were 5 matches longer, we would not have been imo.
