Happy St George’s Day

As my own country inches towards unity and complete self-determination, Guido will say a prayer to St George that within two weeks England too can achieve sovereignty and freedom from rule by foreigners from the North of the British Isles.  Guido will say another prayer for the re-Catholicisation of England and that you will succeed in driving the Scottish Presbyterian overlords from your lands.

Even if your patron saint is actually a Turk and sadly you don’t get a national holiday today, St George’s day should be celebrated. With both a German-descended head-of-state and a Scots dominated government, it must all be a little demoralising.

Nevertheless, this Irishman would like to wish all his English readers a happy St George’s day. Cheers!

    And now for something completely different:

    The current debate between Boris Johnson and Will Hutton neatly exemplifies the problem we have in deciding where we should be going, in my view.

    Boris says, ” London’s financial services industry is big because London has a large share of one of the most complex, fast-growing and intellectually challenging industries in the world. … I am proud to defend it.”

    Will says, “The financial meltdown wasn’t a mistake – it was a con.”

    Who is right? There is a tendency for people to treat the issue as if it were the Oxford and Cambridge University Boat Race. You do not see folk on the riverbank wearing light and dark blue at the same time, exhorting both teams to win simultaneously. Binary answers only please!

    My background was in finance and banking. I used to earn a very good living from it. Not quite Bob Diamond level but way above the national average. I walked away from it in 2001 as I could see it all going horribly wrong. I had to economise but still managed to live a reasonable existence. My prophesies did not come true …. at first. Had I missed a vital point in my area of knowledge? I decided to emigrate and sold my house. I transferred my pounds into other currencies. This was mid 2007. You can see what happened immediately afterwards for yourselves. I was just in time.

    I say the above, not to gloat (I can make mistakes along with the best of them), but to emphasise that I have some qualification to comment in the debate that I identify above.

    My opinion is that there is some merit in both arguments. Maybe that can be developed at a further time.

        Switzerland won’t be spared the demographic upheavals that will sweep across Europe within the next 50 years, for the Swiss political and cultural elite is just as treasonous towards their own people as our lot.

        How about actually staying and fighting for this country rather than running away?

        It’ll be down to the working classes I suppose as usual to fight for this country, while the liberals, Marxists and profit-at-any-price fuck-up merchants do a ‘Ben Elton’ and head for the airports.

          They will have to head for the airports regardless of whether Britons save our country or the 3rd-world invaders destroy the lot. In the first instance, they’d be hanged for treason and in the second, they’d be slaughtered for being infidels – and white.

        Yes but I can’t do that – we are stuck here and in any case I feel my country is well worth fighting for. Cry God for Harry, England and St George” we must all believe that things can get better to believe otherwise is not an option or we’re all sunk.

        So all you ex-pats with money living in fabulous places just remember there is no place like home and we who can’t get away need to fight and fight hard for all the others who are here with us.

        Not so sure about us all being Catholic again mind you Guido. All that sodomy and pederasts. It was hard work, protestantism and sexual repression which fuelled the Empire y’know.

          Mdme Defarge, I still love my country. I simply hate what they are doing to it! It upset me to the point where, lying in hospital for the first time in my life, being told I had suffered a mild stroke, I thought who am I going to look after? My family and myself or the world at large? Charity begins at home – it’s just that home is not where it used to be.

          • Mdme Defarge says:

            I do understand that and am sure that more people would flee if they had the cash. In fact I told my family I was moving to France if Labour got in again…but I won’t.

            I am utterly, utterly sick of what they have done – and it’s not just one thing it’s everything immigration, benefits as a lifestyle choice’ erosion of civil liberties (which worries me the most) and all this touchy feely Human Rights/PC rowlocks.

            I am not so silly that I think we can be a great Empire again those days have gone but we can be great island race but only if we stand up for the natives and be prepared to crack down hard on anyone who does not value our culture and traditions.

            Nope I understand it’s every man for himself if they get back in but as someone has said it will be the ordinary man and woman who will end up fighting in the streets if it comes to it.

          • Can't remember my moniker says:

            Strange that erosion of civil liberties (on which I agree with you totally) is now championed by what many people unthinkingly call the right!

            It’s been the most worrying aspect of the last 13 years.

        Is Mr Fawkes really irish, or is he one of those wannabe and pretend to be Irish. I remember that on the BBC’s “Who Do You ThinkYou Are” programme both John Hurt and Jeremy Irons were both disconcerted by the fact that they were’nt, as they’d hoped, Irish; poor Irons seemed to be on the verge of tears. Funnily enough my maternal grandpa was Irish…and he couldn’t get away from the place quick enough, never went back, and always insisted on being called English. Ah well, times and tastes change.

        Guido is what we in Glasgow call a “Plastic Paddy”

        A person born and raised in Britain, to British parents, who claims an attachment to the Republic of Ireland.

        This is usually by virtue of a grandparent or great-grandparent, or some other distant ancestor way back in the mists of time.

        The Plastic Paddies all have one thing in common, apart from a tendency to burst into tears when they are asked a simple question such as – “why don’t you go home?”

        They are all Roman Catholic bigots who attempt to hide their sectarianism under a cloak of misty-eyed Irish romanticism.

        Angry and Despondent says:

        It’s a pity the British electorate are so thick they probably didn’t notice that the Eurofanatic Clegg lumped in climate change sceptics (about 40 – 60% of the population if polls are correct) with racists, homphobes and fascists. Yet Mr. Nicey,Nicey Clegg complains of smears against him!

        Clegg is a prize hypocrite. He states his excessice housing allowance claims was to renovate a “derelict property”. Let me tell you all that the house is located in one of the most exclusive areas on the outer edge of Sheffield – what you would call the “stockbroker belt”. I don’t think his neighbours will be too pleased when he made it appear he lives in an area where property is derelict. The previous owner won’t be pleased to hear his old home described that way either. Admittedly, Clegg’s constituency cover the city’s student bedsit land but I can’t see Cleggy settling for student digs, not with his privileged background – it won’t be in the style to which he has become accustomed.

    The New St. George by Richard Thompson

    The time has come for action
    Leave your satisfaction
    Can’t you hear St. George’s tune
    St. George’s tune is calling on you
    Freedom was your mother
    Fight for one another
    Leave the factory, leave the forge
    Dance to the new St. George

    Don’t believe pretenders
    Who say they would defend us
    While they flash their teeth and wave
    The other hand is being paid
    They choke the air and bleed us
    These noble men who lead us
    Leave the factory, leave the forge
    Dance to the new St. George

    The fish and foul are ailing
    The farmer’s life is failing
    Where are all the backroom boys
    The backroom boys can’t save us now

    England is dead, murdered by socialists of all parties in 1945 – latterly joined by Call Me Dave and his re-engineered Tories. The tsunami of the welfare state has swept away everything decent about England, the rebounding wave of immigration, powered by the employee vacuum the welfare state naturally led to, has erased any notions of a single cultural identity, a single ethic platform, even a single language. The torrent of ignorant dependancy cascading down the generations will grow in geometric form, scouring the land of any last redoubts of self reliance, patriotism, traditional English values. The containing force of fascistic socialism that’s the only mechanism possible for enveloping the hateful wretched state the place will become, will not last a thousand years, but it will last until the last englishman grunt shis last grunt.

    you all here watched as the lethal injection slipped beneath the skin, watched th epoison start to spread, you witness now the quickening of breath and the cellular panic, and you knwo now that the die is cast, the rot has set in, the mechanism is rolling,a nd we are totally, permanently, forever, fucked.

    Goodbye England.

    After yesterdays ‘debates’ we have the raft of follow up interviews with ‘floating’ voters to see what they thought…

    Happened to have GMTV on (another left wing infested cesspool) interviewing a pensioner couple who ‘had voted labour all their lives’ and what did I spy… A picture of Che Guevara on the wall FFS.

    Then an interview with some brain dead couple (introduced as the ‘average family’) who felt Jonah had dealt with the issues best (state employees I’ll wager).

    Lastly we had some teens who liked the salesman (who I wouldn’t employ for being some kind of sales training automaton) Clegg. I can at least forgive them for youthful idealism.

    Charge the investment arm for use of funds and use of balance sheet with this money going into the reserves of the retail bank held at the bank of ENgland and invested in Gilts. Simples, it clips the investment banking arm, it generates profits and reserves for the retail banks, encourages share ownership in them and stops government wasting the money.

    Always worth posting this anology on Gordon Brown’s rule of England

    ————————

    Dear English Football Association

    As a representative of the Scottish Football Association, I would like to inform you that we wish to change the way the English Football team is managed to bring it more in line with the way our Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, is running Britain.

    This will involve the following:

    1. The Manager of the Scottish team is allowed to be involved with the running of the English team. However, the manager of the English team should have no say whatsoever in the running of the Scottish team. This shall be known as the West Lothian Question.

    2. A sizable proportion of any money the English Football Association raises from, say sponsorship or crowd takings, shall be given to the Scottish Football Association, regardless as to whether you need it or not. This does not apply the other way round. This is known as the Barnett Formula.

    3. You are not to call yourself England any longer. You will now be known as the British Regions. We, on the other hand, are still to be known as Scotland, “a proud and noble nation”.

    4. Medical treatment to your players will be limited to a few treatments because of cost. No such stringent limitation applies to Scotland.

    5. If your playing surfaces are flooded, then do not expect much assistance. However, Scottish pitches will be adequately provided for in the event of flooding.

    6. From this moment on, the English Football Association will cease to exist. However, the Scottish Football Association will be allowed to continue to work independently.

    A failure to follow these rules will see you branded as arrogant, selfish and unfair.

    I’m sure you will find this to your satisfaction. After all, you seem to be happy with this state of affairs with your political system, so why not your Football team?

    Yours sincerely

    Mr G Brown.

    PS You English are so naïve, you are being abolished and don’t even realise it.

    Happy st West Lothian Question Day.

      Hereward says:

      You forgot:

      7. Any talented young English players will be forced to pay significant fees for their training. Scottish talent will not have to pay such fees (and in order not to be racist, neither will anyone except the English, Welsh and Northern Irish). Furthermore, the Scottish football academy (paid for by the English) will target and exclude and English players who might apply.

      8. Retired Scottish players will have lifelong free home help, whereas English players will be expected to pay for their own care and that of the Scots too.

    The Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland provided for the deletion of the entirety of Article 44.1.2 which read, “The State recognises the special position of the Holy Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church as the guardian of the Faith professed by the great majority of the citizens.”

    So as a non-believer, I thank you, Guido, for your best wishes on St George’s Day and note your remarks about re-Catholicisation with some amusement. You have left the matter open for the Welsh and Scottish, I note! Tsk tsk. St Aidan would not have part of a job.

    Terry White says:

    My advice is to vote tactically and locally for the party most likely to kick this disasterous Labour government into the long grass for good.
    I think the case for some kind of electoral reform has been forced centre-stage by the Lib Dem surge. Yet I cannot decide. I do want change and do not see why the Lib vote should be constantly side-lined as as result of the voting system.
    Yet I do not think we should ditch Trident but use it to bargain for disarmament with some dangerous regimes about to acquire nuclear arms in the near future.
    The Lib Dems also desire closer EU integration. Put simply, I do not!
    The Lib Dems favour joining the Euro ‘when the time is right’. I never want to join it. In fact I want to distance ourselves more from the EU and build alliances and business relationships with the Commonwealth countries and wider world. To increase trade elsewhere and build up our shipbuilding industry to provide the necessary ships to service such increased trade.
    Does anyone really think our historical rivals France, and Germany, want to leave us to our own affairs? We won the war but lost the peace and have lost control of our own affairs in the same way we lost control of the future population, by Labour’s deliberate but secret mass immigration policy from 2000 onwards.
    Disregard what Labour try to spin now. They are liars. Brown lied last night when he said he knew nothing of his party’s official leaflets trying to scare pensioners with lies that the Tories would end things like the fuel allowance, free tv, etc. Labour have been lying to people, especially their own supporters, for years and all they have left is to try to frighten people into voting for them. How’s that for the party claiming a new dawn in 1997. They say if they lose it will be a disaster. Look around you: we are already living a disaster created by 1. Idiot financiers 2. Labour’s failure to regutate properly… The adage timbe Thatcher that ‘the market will regulate itself’ is rubbish. Do you doubt this now?
    Brown is a disaster and dangerously deluded. He will be pushed aside after the election whether Labour win or lose. Imagine getting slimey Milliband or Mandy instead!
    Clegg is delighted to have been given equal billing but so what if ‘he’s tall and handsome’. Irrelevant! He reminds me of a schoolboy.
    Cameron must win to remain Tory leader.

Ireland is as ethnically mixed as parts of London, a result of three major waves of invasion. The English are a whole mix of Celt, Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon, Goth, Viking-Norman and there is a real British identity nowadays, mixing English, Scot, Irish and Welsh…how many of you are of one ‘pure’ line?

    Cap'n Con says:

    Guido I am aware you are making a tongue-in-cheek statement when you wish for the re-catholicisation of England but as another Irishman I can tell you that England is more than welcome to the catholic church- still the only social organisation actively sheltering paedophiles from the law, and quite a number hidden around England as well.

    England has its problems- but it tends to jail paedophiles whereas in Ireland the Ryan Commission assigned them pseudonyms to keep their identities hidden- apparently to prevent subsequent court cases from being derailed.

    Strangely enough the amount of paedophile priests in Ireland actually taken to court and jailed is a mere fraction of the hundreds involved. Many of those creeps are still alive.

    So by all means make comments about England being ruled by foreigners whether they be Scots or Americans but no Irishman at this time can say that Ireland is an idependent nation when you have peasants in the Irish government clearly stuck with the idea that an Irishman obeys Rome before Dublin.

    Quite frankly I think the English were absolutely correct in banning catholics from marriage to the heir- not because of prejudice but because English politicians were clever enough to realise that a zealous catholic near the throne would basically be passing everything to Rome and under Vatican infuence.

    Well done to the English for spotting the dangers of the church’s ‘canon law’ and protecting their state.
