'Anglo-Saxon Ing' Letters and Media

On this page you will find copies of letters and comments I have sent to the Media over the last few years related to the subject of our Anglo-Saxon identitiy; if you have any comments you would like to make on any subject you see in rhe Letters & Media page please feel free to contact me.

English identity put in the spotlight (26/8/09)
The English History & Identity stall held at Leicester’s Clock Tower earlier this month was received very well by the English and non English public here in Leicester. Not one person opposed us and many were very interested in England’s unique history and identity.

If we had decided to call on support from local councillors and MP’s for this stall in Leicester, it would undoubtedly have been given the thumbs down due to the fear of offending other ethnic and religious groups, which in my view would be a case of good intensions but bad ideas which is a concerning negative in very tense times concerning interracial understanding and harmony.

Our success was maybe due to the fact that we were not opposing any one or dictating to anyone offensively, we were not an angry mob, we came in peace, merely offering knowledge in a respectful manner of English History and identity for English and non-English to gain a better understanding of who we are.

One African man gave us his praise for supporting our community in this manner and stated that if it was not for the English he would not exist!

This was due to the English playing their part in World War Two in stopping Hitler, he said. A big thank you to the City Centre police for their assistance.

More stalls are planned. Although it is a great shame that we are even having to do this due to the establishment not wanting to entertain our community and all that we are about.

While we are not entertained by those in authority they will always have a lack of understanding towards the English community, which will always be detrimental to all.

‘Anglo-Saxon girl power’ (25/7/09)
I agree with Russ Ball (Mailbox July 20) that Gandhi was an inappropriate choice of statue. It is not that I hold hatred for Gandhi, but I and many others would rather see a statue of a local person more connected to Leicester and English history rather than Gandhi who is more connected to Indian history. As an interesting more appropriate choice, and an education tool in itself, let me introduce you to some good old historical local Anglo-Saxon girl power!

In an age which acknowledges the vital role played by women throughout our history, it is only right that the ‘Lady of the Mercians’ King Alfred’s warrior daughter Aethelflaeda, should be formally commemorated with a statue in her honour. She was born in troubled, violent times in which England and the people of Mercia, including those living in the ancient town of Leicester, were threatened by Danish invasion and subjugation.
Not only did this female warrior/leader stop the advance of the Danes in this militarily strategic area, she crushed them in a series of battles and drove them out.

Aethelflaeda was a spirited passionate Englishwomen and is as important to English people as Joan of Arc is to the French. Leicester, a town known to Aethelflaeda, lies at the heartland of Mercia, and the ‘Lady of the Mercians’ shows us that stubborn resistance against all the odds will secure victory in the end.

I feel that we should have a statue worthy of Leicester’s history and its most famous Lady.

‘Deal in facts, not propaganda’ (8/6/09)
I would like to make it clear that I am not a BNP member, although that factor, in a fair and free society, should not effect whether this letter gets printed. Only a day before you ran an Opinion Column “Don’t let BNP benefit from public anger” (Mercury, June 4), the article “Police appeal on election fraud” informed us of the crime of “undue influence”, which is committed when a person directly or indirectly threatens another person or actually hurts them to stop them voting or voting in a certain way.

The Mercury’s Opinion is on the borderline of being an “undue influence” and an election fraud crime, with its threatening overtones after attempting to demonise the BNP. It certainly falls into the area of political propaganda, because, along with other sections of the media, you have acted as part of a totalitarian machine creating a Russian style state, where we are not free and are constantly brainwashed and bullied into not thinking for ourselves and we are only to tow the state’s line.

This extremism is far more terrifying than the prospect of having BNP MEP’s. The BNP are not bullying anyone by use of bias media brain washing tactics. They are not taking up arms, although you would think so by the media frenzy! They are not Killing any Muslims, while Labour have with the illegal invasion of Iraq, which the BNP do not support, by the way! They do not have their councillors’ noses in the troth and in areas where they have quite a few councillors, the race crime figures have actually gone down. Whether any one likes it or not (myself and the Mercury included) they are a perfectly legal political party taking the perfectly legal route to make change and deserve a level playing field.

Maybe one day the Mercury will start acting like a normal newspaper which should give us daily un-bias news, and not bias state political propaganda!

 

‘Tackling the taboo of Englishness’ (15/5/09)
I applaud the Mercury for showing signs of pulling out of the damaging PC cult and starting to address all sots of taboo subjects. I see this evident in articles and in the mailbox pages. I would like to believe that this latest move is not due to the forthcoming elections?

Although I see one subject still seemingly taboo: ethnicity, in particular, the ethnically English? We English are a specific tribe of people, an ethnic group, and yet in many areas of society are not included as such. We are omitted from ethnic monitoring forms in England. Yet racial/ethnic groups are recognised by law in the Race relations Act and so we do actually exist by law.

All countries have an indigenous group of people who exist as a specific ethnic group and we here in England are no different, except that we seem to shy away from talking about this, which is having a detrimental effect on the ethnically English community. We should not be afraid to talk about the concerns, wishes and needs of the ethnic English, or are we to not learn from the poor Aborigines and Maori Tribes who were ignored as the indigenous people of their land to a very detrimental effect?

We should also remember that addressing the indigenous/ethnic English group of people, does not always mean that e are part of a right wing party. It certainly does not mean that we hate anybody else and does not mean that we will not have a sympathetic ear for the civic English, that is those who are not indigenous to England who are not ethnically English, but have been happy to assimilate into an English society peacefully and willingly.

‘Vital cushion’ (13/5/09)
I feel that Keith Vaz claming £480 on 22 cushions as part of his £80,000 expenses claim, is actually quite essential, as he will need them to cushion the blows from the angry voices of disgruntled members of the public who know that he is accountable to us. And they will also be essential to cushion the blows of the up coming Euro and county election results.

‘Ridiculing our cultural identity’ (5/5/09)
I agree with S J Thorpe that the City Council should not have included the Steam and Food Fair as part of the St George’s festival, unless it was to be a completely English cultural event, which it clearly was not (Mailbox April 30).

However, I disagree with her slur “Disappointing the all Leicester people who still believe in Dragons”, concerning the fair not really being an English event. It is common for those who show concern for English identity and culture to be ridiculed in a manner that would not be aimed at any other ethnic group. For example,  S J Thorpe would never choose to slur the Chinese and their mythical connection with Dragons, which shows us how much anti-Englishness and self hated S J Thorpe sadly possess.

How sad that she lives within a proud and patriotic English nation – she must be very uncomfortable.

‘An insult to the English’ (22/4/09)
I took my family to the first day of Leicester’s St George’s Festival in Sunday. It was advertised in a Leicester City Council St George’s Festival Leaflet as “Knights, maidens, crafts and stories”, and advertised in the Mercury as having a St George’s Day theme.

The Festival was at Leicester’s Abbey Pumping Station, where there was not one cross of St George flag to be seen. There were many other nations flags to be seen, and there was a food festival intermingled with an effort to show off some English food, they also had a sushi stall, a Caribbean stall, a vegetarian Indian stall, a vegetarian Indian/Italian/Mexican/Chinese stall, and a Turkish stall.

The only signs of it being anything relating to an English festival was one man dressed as St George and three kids activity stalls, where they could make paper shields, rings and princess hats, some local English food produce stalls (not all from Leicester) and Abbey Pumping Stations museum articles.

This English festival was watered down in a way that would be deemed offensive to any other ethnic group festival. We would never see Morris Dancers at a St Patrick’s festival, and never see a Sunday Roast stall at a Diwali festival, so why does any one feel it right to mix cultures in an English cultural event?

Is it so wrong for us to have the same right as other cultures who have their own, undiluted cultural events? I can see that a little effort went into trying to make it an English cultural event, and I applaud this, but the rest was an insult to my identity.

This is a poor start to Leicester’s St George’s festival.

‘Celebrating a rich cultural heritage’ (6/4/09)
Well done Leicester City Council for organising a week long St George’s Festival (Leicester Mercury April 2). I see April 23, and any English cultural events around this time, as a chance to gain knowledge of English culture and history, to find a better understanding of our identity, which will also help others gain a better understanding of who we are.

Any such English celebration is not just a reason to drink English Ale, and is not about hating others, obviously. It is about loving our own, as we English are rich in history and culture to delight in. There is much for others to admire too. Doubters, simply look at this website: www.englandandenglishhistory.com

‘English Saints are plentiful’ (14/4/09)
An article in the Mr Leicester page (Mercury April 7) rightly informs us that England has more than St George as a Saint. As a good reference pointer that clarifies this, you can purchase a book called Sixty Saxon Saints for a good recession price of £3.50 The purpose of this guidebook is to see some justice done to the English Saints of the Anglo-Saxon period who took with them, from secular into the religious life, the native English ideas of loyalty to ones lord and, if necessary, sacrificial service to his cause.

I say secular as the original Anglo-Saxons were predominantly heathens/pagans. This information can be read in a book called Anglo-Saxon FAQ’s. Christians sent missionaries to convert the English in and around the times of he beginning of the English race – the 6th century.
By the time of the unification/creation of England and our first King of England, King Athelstan in 927, who was initially born in the midlands, many English had been converted into Christianity, with heathens being driven out or underground.

We English are so much more than the blinkered and simplistic view of us being only about two world wars and one world cup. Both books mentioned, and an array of books concerning the Anglo-Saxons, can be bought from www.asbooks.co.uk

‘Currying favour is not to my taste’ (28/12/07)
On a few occasion now the Leicester Mercury has reported the odd incident of something called ‘Christmas Curry’. Our own Lord Mayor has been reported as having attended a so called Christmas curry event. Now, Leicester MP Patricia Hewitt is reported to be tucking into a Christmas curry.

Do Hindus nip out for a traditional English dish at Diwali time?

Do Muslims nip out for a traditional English dish at Eid time?

No, they don’t.

What is Christmassy about a curry? Sorry for using my common sense, but I do not get it. Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to invite the non English for a traditional English Christmas dinner at such an occasion as Christmas? Is this not just more cultural cleansing in the form of a traditional English Christmas dinner being replaced by a non English dish called a curry?

‘Honour true patron saint’ (8/11/07)
November 20 is Saint Edmund’s Day, the true original Anglo-Saxon patron saint of England. When the Northman from Normandy arrived in Anglo-Saxon England towards the end of the 11th Century, they set about what could be called cultural cleansing. They didn’t call it that in those days, but they clearly understood the purpose of their actions.

The Normans intention was to remove obvious Angle, Jutish and Saxon cultural emblems and symbols and replace them with something alien, different and more akin to whatever cultural pretensions the Normans had. Their first attempts were directed against English customs and language. Over the course of the next two centuries, the primacy of Saint Edmund the Martyr as the true patron saint of English and therefore England, was diminished in favour of the mythical image of the Middle Eastern St George originating in the Papal Norman crusades.

Although the Angles, Jutes and Saxons had other symbols of their origins such as the Raven, Boar and Wolf, their enduring and unifying emblem was the white dragon – itself copied from the legions of Imperial Rome. As part of the power-greedy Norman-Papal influence of the time and inspired by the religious fervour of the Crusades, the White Dragon Flag of the English was gradually replaced by the red cross (the so called St George’s Cross).

The poetically beautiful personal names of the Angles, Jutes and Saxons, such as Waltheof, Aelfred, Aelgifu, Aedward and many others, were lost to the more mundane names of Biblical origin with a few of Norman provenance thrown into the mix. Fortunately, since Victorian times we have enjoyed something of a revival in the use of many of our traditional English names.

Tinkered with it might be, but our wonderfully expressive English language survived intact. Our foreign rulers of the 12th and 13th centuries, tyrants all, had to bow to the will of the English in that respect. Let all the English everywhere remember: your patron saint is St Edmund the Martyr; honour him on November 20.

Your true flag is not the red cross but the white dragon, well known to Alfred the Great, Knut the Great and King Harold II.

‘Let’s stop this “lazy English” slur’ (5/11/07)
Its about time the native English put a stop to these slanderous, sweeping insulting accusations of laziness, from the likes of Andrea Smith, as it is clear to see that millions of hard working, employed English are not. It’s also about time people stopped making dangerous comparisons between the English and migrant workers, as this creates ill feeling, division and tension in an ever-increasingly divided society.

Andrea Smith would have us all believe that all migrant workers in England are in no way, shape or form lazy. Give me the figure of Polish workers here and there will be, by law of average “some” who are lazy, just as “some” and not all, of the English and every other nationality have a minority percentage of their lazy ones.

To finally put this “lazy English” accusation to bed, we have to only ask ourselves, before the recent migrant workers influx, was England’s economy drastically down?

No.

Were thousands of companies going bust due to the so-called “lazy English” not being prepared to work? No!

‘It’s an uphill task for the English’ (24/10/07)
I agree with most of the Bishop of Leicester’s points made concerning England’s rugby team reflecting the story of ourselves (Mercury, October 20).
The Bishop is right on the ball, excuse the pun, when saying that our rugby team “are an inspiration to all who have battled against disappointment, insult and despair” and coincidently, there are no other people who have had to endure so much disappointment, despair and especially insult as the English in recent times.

We are a country, unlike the majority of others, existing without its own specific parliament and without its own official celebration day for its own patron saint. We English are the only people who are frowned on by those in authority in our own country for asserting our identity and national pride.

Are English children are the only children quite possibly in the world, who are not educated and encouraged to be positive about their own identity, culture, history and traditions, which is having a very negative effect.

And for these views, no doubt, I will either not have my letter printed or I will endure replies with all sorts of accusations and insults, which will only reinforce my points and spur me on against all odds, just like our Rugby team.

‘Flying the flag for the English’ (11/7/07)
A recent ICM Poll in the Sunday Telegraph shows that 68 percent are in favour of an English parliament. The latest report from The National Centre for Social Research shows those who describe themselves first and foremost as “British” are down to only 44 percent. On the stgeorgesday.com website, more than 940,000 have voted for St George’s Day to be celebrated in England.

At England football matches, you are hard pressed to see a British union Jack flag amid the mass of Cross of St George England flags. It is fair to say the English have rediscovered their identity as the English from England, formally known as the Brits from Britain. While the Scottish Gordon Brown refuses England its own parliament, refuses St George’s Day to be England’s national Bank holiday and is splitting up England into nine regions, where England will be governed by regional assemblies, England will be no more!

‘Time to call halt to immigration’ (25/6/07)
Abdul Razak Osman (First Person June 21) paints a pretty picture of immigration and integration, but seems to ignore the social effects of unlimited immigration. Leicester City Council had the common sense to foresee the weight on our services and facilities in Leicester as far back as August 31, 1972, hen the Mercury front page headlines said “Whitehall told: No more- Leicester is full up”, referring to the council telling the Home Office that Leicester was full up with regard to potential Asian immigration from Uganda.

The council also advertised in the Ugandan press, urging the population to accept the advice of the Ugandan Settlement Board and not come to Leicester, where housing, education and social services were stretched to the limit. This wave of immigration came, despite these warnings, and 35 years on, unlimited immigration continues, despite similar warnings from different bodies.

The interesting thing is that I now actually hear Asians in Leicester, showing concerns of the new wave of unlimited immigration into Leicester. So if immigrants can see the problems of unlimited immigration, then why on earth can the Government not see this and give England a sensible immigration policy.

 

‘Milk of kindness’ (28/5/07)
Marks and Spencer are supporting England’s dairy farmers by selling England’s dairy farmers milk, which is labelled with the Cross of St George.
Marks and Spencer have made a pledge which states that they are the first retailer to introduce a scheme that guarantees our dairy farmers a fixed price for milk, removing the uncertainty of the milk industries price fluctuations so that our farmers have greater security and the ability to plan.
Well done Marks and Spencer for their loyalty to our English farmers.

I hope to see more of the same from other retailers, while it’s a shame that Blair, Brown and co seem careless to what England is having to do due to their neglect.

‘Stay in touch’ (27/7/09)
Since December last year, 21 MP’s have signed the Early Day Motion 460 Political Correctness Campaign, which was put forward in Parliament by MP Philip Davies. The EDM is supported by the public in an ICM poll on behalf of the Campaign Against Political Correctness in which 80 percent of the British public answered “yes” when asked “Are you fed up with political correctness?”

This is a great chance for our MP’s to stay in touch with the overwhelming majority of their public, and represent them by signing this EDM. Or will they persist in misrepresenting their public?

‘Brown: Premier without a mandate’ (23/5/07)
Scotland has democratically elected Alex Salmond as Scotland’s first minister. Gordon Brown is a man voted into power in a Scottish constituency by Scottish voters only, yet he will soon rule over England without being voted in by a single person in England. How undemocratic!

‘Deafening silence from Brown’ (15/5/07)
The Adam Smith Institution is Britain’s leading innovator of free market economic and social polices Since 1977, it has played a key role in developing practical initiatives to inject choice and competition into public services, extend personal freedom, reduce taxes, prune back regulation and cut Government waste.

The Adam Smith Institution has now called for an English Parliament, Gordon Brown has been very quite about this recent announcement. I wonder why?

‘Victory in sight?’ (11/4/07)
StGeorgesday.com and MP Andrew Rosindell have joined forces by tabling an Early Day Motion in Parliament which could at last see England’s national day, St George’s Day, being given the recognition it deserves and become either a public holiday or a bank holiday.

With so many other countries around the world setting aside a special day to celebrate their patron saint, England’s day has sadly not enjoyed the same recognition. However, all of this looks set to change, stgeorgesday.com has been spearheading a campaign to ensure that England secures its right to celebrate its own special day, with more than 750,000 people signing the stgeorgesday.com on-line petition, asking the Government to establish St George’s Day as a public holiday in Britain.

With their ever-increasing campaigning efforts generating greater support, it should not be long before stgeorgesday.com and the people of England finally recognise their own national day and give it the status and respect it so rightly deserves.

‘Saints origin is old news!’ (3/4/07)
Anas Kasak wrongly informs us that not many know that St George was not English. (Mercury, March 29). Old news Anas!

In fact, it is becoming more known that Saints often hail from outside of their adopted countries. Saint Patrick came from England; Saint Andrew was Middle Eastern. This doesn’t make these nations any less nationalistic towards their countries or less patriotic towards their saints.

The Mercury doesn’t seem to get that and has failed miserably with their singling out of St George and stripping him of his English national identity, which we all knew he never had anyway. I note that the Mercury doesn’t feel the need to do the multi-cultural makeover and discrediting of St Patrick and St Andrew as their country’s men.

Sad.

‘English deprived’ (23/1/07)
Labour have rejected an appeal for England to enjoy St George’s Day as a national holiday. England and Germany are now the only countries in Europe where national pride is not allowed to be celebrated with a day off.

Yet there is majority support in England for an English Parliament and for St George’s day to be a national holiday – it’s even supported by Scottish, Welsh and Irish nationalists.

 ‘High cost of free drugs for Scots’ (21/6/07)
Here is a list of drugs that are free to the Scots which we have to pay for in England. Aricept, Reminyl and Exelon, for Alzhiemer’s, with effects lasting one to two years. Cost in England £2.50 a day. Velcade, for bone and bone marrow cancer, which cuts risk of death by 41% first year of treatment. Cost in England £18,000 for full 8 cycle- treatment. Gliadel implants for brain tumours, which extend life. Cost in England £5,200 for a course of treatment. Alimta, for Mesothelioma, gives around four months of extra life. Cost in England £10,000 for full course. Carceva, for lung cancer, increases one year survival rates by 43%.

Cost in England £1,700 a month. Macugen and Lucentis, for age related macular degeneration which causes blindness: it holts progress of the condition. Cost in England £36,000 (Macugen) and £28,000 (Lucentis) for full course treatment. Bonviva, for osteoporosis. Cost in England £1000 a year. Erbitux, for head and neck cancer, prolongs life for about 20 months. Cost in England £11,000 a patient. And now, at the cost of £50 million a year, English tax payers are to foot the bill for Scots to have free prescriptions for chronically ill patients from April next year.

This is the Scottish Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s version of the union – where the English are left to die, as free life saving drugs are available on Scotland.

 ‘Spotlight on discrimination’ (3/11/06)
Recently our cash-strapped council spent £100,000 on Hindu Diwali street decorations, and more recently £70,000 on Muslim Eid decorations.
And how much have they spent on our own English St George’s day here in Leicester, England? Nothing.

Spot the discrimination against English culture by our own council.

 

‘We should back our own farmers’ (28/12/06)
I agree  with Nicholas G Black (mailbox, December 22) – it would be better to support and promote our own farmers, rather than the failed Bavarian market.

I feel strongly about supporting our own struggling English farmers, so I have set up an on-line petition to support the call for a Leicestershire farmers market to take the place of the Bavarian market, on a regular basis in our City centre. The petition will eventually be sent to the Leader of the Leicester City Council.

To show your support go to: www.petitiononline.com/LFM/petition.html

 

 ‘Home rule call’ (18/10/06)
It’s good news that Northern Ireland politicians are once again sitting down at the negotiating table with the British Government. Due to this, it has a great change of being in control of its own domestic affairs, through a national assembly. It’s great if they follow the Welsh with their assembly and the Scots with their own parliament. In time, all three nations could be in total control of their domestic affairs- which I support.

England should be given the same rights too, as we haven’t even been given a sniff at home rule yet. It is unbelievably unjust of the British Government to leave us out of the devolution process.

There is a campaign for an English Parliament. If any one wants to show support log on to www.thecep.org.uk

‘Tories put Scotland first’ (22/9/06)
Roger Helmer, Conservative MEP, claims to be “putting Britain first” as advertised on the free DVD What Do MEP’s Actually Do? (Leicester Mercury, September 19) The the leader of his party, David Cameron, launched an attack on the English in his recent speech in Glasgow. Cameron called the English “sour little Englanders”, which would be deemed racist if aimed at the Scottish. He referred to “those in England who seek to dismember Britain”.

This is when Scotland has its own parliament. Wales has an assembly and has been given the go ahead for a Parliament and Northern Ireland has an assembly, yet England has neither a parliament nor an assembly. So how are those in England dismembering Britain?. He refers to England as “south of the border”. Of course, referring to Scotland as North Britain would be deemed offensive by the Scottish. He also admits to being embarrassed by the English, while praising the Scottish.

In an interview with Andrew Marr n June, Cameron stated: “I’m a Cameron. There is quite a lot of Scottish blood flowing through these veins”, and he thinks that “Scotland brings a huge amount to the UK”. This seems to be the Conservative Party “putting Scotland first”, as we witness this favouritism to Scotland and discontent of England and the English.

 ‘Time to assert our Englishness’ (3/8/06)
While the odds on the majority of people in Leicester and England not wanting to be ruled by the EU are very short, no doubt, and it being disgusting enough seeing the City Council’s lack of patriotism in choosing not to fly the Cross of St George flag from the Town Hall, being informed that they are currently applying for planning permission to fly the EU flag goes beyond disgust.

I suggest that the patriotic public opposed to this can do something, we can find out the date of the proposed planning permission and object to the planning application on the grounds that it is not a national flag but is an advertisement for a political project.

The English have been slow to promote our patriotism in the past, as it was always assumed and we didn’t feel ignored enough to assert it, but as our authorities, from the Government downwards, neglect our English identity these days, we will have to re-assert it ourselves and will continue to do so.

‘Remember: England is for life!’ (29/6/06)
I agree with Andy M Wallis (Mailbox, June 24) whole heartedly about hoping that the English will keep flying the Cross of St George flag on English high days and holidays after the World Cup has gone. The English identity, and respect for it, needs reasserting and, while the British Government keep ignoring England, we will have to assert it ourselves.

Remember: England is for life, no just for football!

‘Flying the flag for St Goerge’s Day’ (29/5/06)
I feel that all the patriotic English in Leicester should thank the Mercury for their piece (Opinion, May 23) where it was suggested that an official decking out of flags for St George’s Day should take place.

This was due to the outcome of the England flags on lampposts situation. It’d be great for our Government to acknowledge St George’s Day as an official day as from next year, therefore making the suggestion by the Mercury even more appropriate.

‘Patriotic day’ (27/4/06)
From the bottom of my English heart, I would like to thank the Pubs in our ton centre who answered the call for St George’s Day on Sunday, and I would like to shout a big “Booooh!” to those who didn’t.

Who said there isn’t a call for St George’s Day to be celebrated?

I joined in with masses celebrating it in Leicester. A great day was had by all patriotic English people.

 ‘Government is putting other first’ (5/10/06)
While making a speech recently, Patricia Hewitt was confronted by three women dying from a rare form of breast cancer, his is due to the only licensed treatment (Velcade) for multiple myeloma not being available on the NHS in England. It is in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Despite a highly-charged plea for help by the dying women, Miss Hewitt insisted that she was not responsible for the decision.

She said “Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make their own decisions. In England, we have NICE (National Institute for Clinical excellence.) It’s certainly not for me to try to make the decision, or override or anticipate NICE. I’m not going to do that.”

This is a truly sickening example of how our Labour MP and Health Secretary chooses to ignore the discrimination in England, leaving women to die when their lives could be prolonged. This is while mass immigration is able to put a strain on the English Health Service.

What other country’s government would put other lives before their own?

‘Bias against Christianity’ (1/10/05)
I’m not religious an neither do I oppose the Jerry Springer opera, but I have cause for concern with your attitude towards Christian Rev Ross Rennie, who is opposed to the said opera.

Your writer Lee Marlow asks: “Aren’t you bringing in oppression by trying to ban it?”
He also says people may think “This man is mad”.

He seems not to take the religious views of the Reverend seriously. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of religious beliefs can sound bizarre, but my point is would Mr Marlow’s attitude and questions have been the same to a non-English faith representative? I can’t help feeling that they would not.

While the media and authorities seem to bend over backwards to accommodate non-English faiths in England opposing anything similar, they do not seem to accommodate the English religion in England in the same way.

Sadly, they are only disrupting the promotion of multi-faith culture in England. Please tell me, Mr Marlow, that you feel all religions would be “bringing in oppression” if trying to ban such an opera?

(Editors footnote – The Leicester Mercury treats all faiths equally. Mr Rennie was interviewed because of his high-profile opposition to the show. If the show concerned a faith other than Christianity and was attracting objections, we would want to interview leading objectors.)

 

‘Put a stop to anti-Englishness’ (28/10/05)

It seems that Brenda Belcher wants us to change our patriotic songs (First Person, October 22). She feels that this might make us realise how outdated other things previously held in respect have become too.

Well Brenda, do you know of any countries that will change their patriotic songs or any other age old traditions? I think not. In fact, we have people coming here from other countries imposing their outdated traditions on us. Will you be asking them to change their outdated traditions? Again, I think not.

Many people feel it is time for a change on all this anti-Englishness.

‘Tough approach is needed’ (17/8/05)
Human rights activists and any other do-gooders who stand up for the rights of or express concern for the health of suicide bombers and extremist clerics ho are being deported, as they are considered a danger to Britain, should come under some sort of law of supporting treason and be deported along with any others who commit treason. A tough approach is long overdue.

‘Stop and search’ (10/8/05)
Ann Widdecombe says exclude whites from stop and search. Until it is proved that terrorists are white Islamic extremists, then the only leads the police can go on are that the accused, identified terrorist enemies of Britain are all of Asian or black appearance. So it is common sense to search more of that appearance, surely?

If the ethnic minorities have nothing to hide, they shouldn’t mind a few minutes of their time to help police exclude suspects.
