View Full Version : Apart from anything else about St George, I'm not even convinced the whole dragon story is true.

Also, he looks a bit light in his loafers to me.

One nice touch I do have to admire is the town hall bells are currently playing Jerusalem. Ode to the crusaders that it is, it sounds quite good peeling out over the town.

with my red dragon thing. Seems fair enough for english to have white dragon if we can have our red one. Though Im sure some nationalist nutters will jump on board too

Also, notice how I'm above each and every possible drug based pun there?

Seriously, though, you have to appreciate the irony of that song in Bradford. We haven't built Jerusalem among the dark satanic mills, we've built Peshawar.

The thing is about Bradford is that it's poor. It's a nice place once you get past all of that nonsense and, with influxes from all sorts of other places it's genuinely becoming more multicultural. And, whatever you think about multiculturalism, you have to admit it's better than duoculturalism.

Anyway, hasn't Jerusalem been largely Muslim, on balance?

any time soon, old chum.

Also, the muslim community is much more tight-knit and more likely to behave cohesively than the rest of the population, so it becomes inevitable that their voices dominate.

maybe this site has a gentle smidgen of mild racialism and mentalist... :-)

Let the ethnic English, without triumphalism or overbearing pride, remind themselves that this modern world imperfect as it is, was made primarily by the Anglo Saxons. Almost all the benefits of modern life, including law, education, transport, medicine, entertainment and communications were derived in part or whole from the exertions of the English. Indeed, the first man on the moon was an American of Anglo Saxon descent!

Let all the English and their descendants, everywhere, whether in America, Canada, Australia or New Zealand remember, that wherever the English established themselves, for the most part, only benefit came from their presence.

:rubchin: :hehe:

Unlike St George's Cross, The White Dragon has no dubious religious connections or background unrelated to fact.

:-) also no gerogians, wops , palestinians or spics I'm guessing..just true brit dragons :-)

I assume you're above such things.

By the way, I saw there was an aerobatic crash in Norfolk. Hope it wasn't anyone you knew? :-(

Still, we're overdue one, so I'm just glad it wasn't someone I knew well.

Nice chap, although the worst thing is that it was a bloody nice aeroplane.
