One cheer for UKIP

The United Kingdom Independence Party (to give it its full name) did rather well in the recent elections.  From the point of view of patriotic Englishmen and Englishwomen, is this a good thing?

In one way it is.  It gave the traitorous scum in the Conservative and Liberal Democratic parties something to think about.  But my enemy's enemy is not necessarily my friend.

Anyone who browses to UKIP's website and is minded to join will see this statement:

"Membership is not available to anyone who is or has previously been a member of the British National Party, National Front, British Freedom Party, British People's Party, English Defence League, Britain First or the UK First Party. Any applications made from people who are or have been members of these organisations will be refused, and any subscriptions collected will be refunded."

This may well be necessary, to prevent the establishment parties and their friends in the media portraying UKIP as 'extremists', 'racists', 'fascists' and all the other meaningless words they use to smear patriotic Englishmen and Englishwomen, but it still sticks in the craw.

As far as I know, no other party has such rules.  People do change their political views and most parties accept in good faith that, if you sign up to become a member, you agree with that party's policies.  There certainly used to be plenty of former communists in the Labour Party.

Former members of the BNP will (I assume) be welcomed with open arms into the Socialist Workers Party or the Liberal Democrat Party, but not UKIP.  Conversely, former members of the Trotskyite Socialist Workers Party or the anti-British, pro-EU, pro-immigration Liberal Democratics can switch to UKIP without a question being asked.

But of course former members of the anti-EU, anti-immigtation BNP and NF are different.  You might have been fighting the EU and mass-immigration forty years, while many in UKIP have only just woken up to the dangers, but rather than praise you for your foresight, or apologise for smearing you in the past, we're going to stop you joining our party.

Slightly hypocritical?

Well, let's not forget that Nigel Farage was a member of the Conservative Party until 1993 and he is still a Thatcherite Tory at heart (albeit a libertarian one, which makes him slightly better).

It will be interesting to see if, before the next election, any Conservative MPs, fearful of their party's long-term future and their seats, attempt to defect to UKIP.  If they do, will they will be welcomed like returning Prodigal Sons, or will the party have the courage to tell them to get stuffed?  They have, after all, had plenty of opportunity to speak out against the treason of their leaders.  Why didn't they?

Prodigal Son or pariah?  I think we know the answer to that one!  They're Nigel's mates, good upper class Conservatives, not those working class extremist scum of the NF and BNP.

Flags

Whether you are lucky enough to have a flag pole in your garden (and it is possible to find some very reasonably-priced and nice-looking ones on the internet) or have to make do with a broom-handle, or just hang them out of the window, there's nothing that quite stirs the heart like a flag fluttering in the breeze.

Of course, there's the Union Jack or the Cross of St George but, as proud Englishmen and women, what other flags can we fly?  Here are some suggestions.

The White Dragon Flag of the English

An old flag of the English and probably one of the flags that King Harold of blessed memory would have fought under at the Battle of Hastings.  This flag has its own website (http://whitedragonflagofengland.com) where you can read more about it and buy flags to fly (although you can buy it elsewhere, as well).  Becoming more common in England these days, but still a talking point.

The Flag of Wessex

A version of the white dragon flag that shows a golden wyvern (a dragon with only front legs).  According to Wikipedia, both Henry of Huntingdon and Matthew of Westminster talk of a golden dragon being raised at the Battle of Burford in AD 752 by the West Saxons.

The Flag of St Edmund (county flag of Suffolk)

Before St George was adopted by England's Norman kings in the fourteenth century, the patron saint of England was St Edmund.  There are many who think that he should be again, not least because he was an Englishman.  Others differentiate between England and the English people, seeing St George as the patron saint of the former and St Edmund of the latter.  The flag of Suffolk combines both saints - St George's cross and the crown and crossed arrows of St Edmund.

Be properly addressed

It is hoped that one of the things this website will encourage is for people to take action themselves.  It is not good enough to sit wringing our hands, complaining how terrible things are and hoping that someone else will do something to put things right.  They are not going to.  The government is not going to.  The government is the problem.  The government hates us, the native English.

Fortunately, many of the things we can do to make a little stand can be done with no danger and little inconvenience to ourselves.  But these little things are important.  If they didn't matter, the Establishment wouldn't be so eager to change them.  Enough people making enough little stands can be the start of something big.

One of the things we should be doing is using our proper, traditional counties in addresses.   These are the counties that have been around for many hundreds of years, as opposed to those, such as Avon and West Midlands, created during the premiership of arch-traitor Edward Heath, or the ridiculous 'unitary authorities' shown on modern maps.  Use them in your own address and when writing to others, especially companies and organisations.  The Post Office don't care - they have confirmed that, as long as you use the post code, you can put any county you like in your address.  If you can, get hold of stickers to put on your envelopes to express a pride in your county.

A useful website is that of the Association of British Counties.  

As they say on their website:

The Association of British Counties (ABC) is a society dedicated to promoting awareness of the continuing importance of the 92 historic (or traditional) Counties of the United Kingdom. The ABC believes that the Counties are an important part of the culture, geography and heritage of Great Britain. The ABC contends that Britain needs a fixed popular geography, one divorced from the ever changing names and areas of local government but, instead, one rooted in history, public understanding and commonly held notions of cultural identity. The ABC, therefore, seeks to fully re-establish the use of the Counties as the standard popular geographical reference frame of Britain and to further encourage their use as a basis for social, sporting and cultural activities.

And, as they also say:

Until recently, the historic (or traditional) Counties of Britain were universally used as the standard popular geographical reference frame of Britain. The location of every village, town and city of Britain could be simply described by reference to one of these Counties. We literally knew where we were.

The website also has a useful map of the counties.  Why not print it out and stick it on your wall to teach your children the true counties?

If you are not sure what county a place is in, use their gazeteer.

Be properly addressed - use your proper county!

The 'Mongrel' English

One of the most succinct rebuttals of the oft-heard argument that the English are a mixture of races and that the mass immigration of post-war times is just a continuation of something that has always gone on (rather than, as must be obvious to anyone with any sense, an orchestrated attempt to destroy England and the English) can be found at the beginning of chapter 2 of the book 'The Lost Gods of England' by Brian Branston.  

This book (which is well worth reading in its entirety) was first published in 1957, before the reality of mass immigration had been grasped by most people.  For this reason, and the fact that the author has no political axe to grind, it cannot be dismissed (by thinking people, anyway) as 'racist' or 'fascist' propaganda.  

Chapter 2 of the book is titled 'Who Were The English'.  The first four paragraphs are reproduced below.

At first glance, the modern English appear to be a mongrel lot: Tennyson partly hit it off when he sang 'Saxon and Norman and Dane are we,' but even so he was quite forgetting the Ancient Britons.  In addition, we must understand him to have meant by Saxon 'Angles, Saxons and Jutes'; by Dane 'Norwegians, Swedes and Danes' and by Norman 'Norwegians, Swedes, Danes and Celts'.

The Ancient Britons who inhabited these islands at the time of Christ were themselves a mixture of tribes.  The Romans, who conquered the Britons during the first century A.D. and who later inter-bred with them, were a melange of peoples from Gaul and Italy with (no doubt) a sprinkling of barbarian mercenaries from the north of Europe as well as more exotic elements from the east.  As I say, a people bred from Briton crossed Saxon (after A.D. 450), crossed Dane (after A.D. 800), crossed Norman (after 1066) could well appear to be mongrel.

But none of these inter-breedings was what might be called in genetic terms 'a violent out-cross' such as would have been the case if Britain had been successfully invaded by an armada of Chinese or Red Indians or African Bushmen.  Apart from any alterations in physical appearance that would have befallen the new Island Race under such circumstances, one has only to suppose a pagoda in Canterbury, a totem pole in Trafalgar Square and rock paintings on the Cheddar Gorge to begin to imagine the cultural changes which would have ensued.

Even the Ancient Britons were comparatively near relations of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes, while the Danes and Normans were first cousins: and so the mongrelism of the English turns out to be more apparent than real. 

A charity for the English

You don't have to look far to find charities set up to work on behalf of one particular ethnic group in Britain or organisations that are open to members of only one race.

The Establishment is silent about, or positively welcoming of, these charities - until they come across one set up for the ethnic English.  Then, of course, it is dismissed as 'racist' and 'fascist'.

The Steadfast Trust is the first and only registered charity which undertakes work specifically for the ethnic English community. It exists to promote the education, legal rights, welfare, and overall interests of the community within England. Its work is driven by the belief that the English, and in particular the young, would gain greater self-respect and self-confidence if they had a better appreciation and understanding of their unique culture and heritage.

Well worth supporting!

The Trust's website is http://www.steadfasttrust.org.uk.  

They can also be found on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/TheSteadfastTrust.

If you want to earn the Trust some money, at no cost to yourself, go to http://www.spendandraise.com/steadfasttrust and see if there's a link to your favourite online shopping site.  I go via there every time I buy something from Amazon and it earns the Trust a few pence every time.

Proud to be English

That England is under attack from her enemies is taken as read.  Since the end of the Second World War dark forces have been at work to destroy England and the English people.  

Mass immigration is on a scale that will see the English a minority in their own land well before the end of this century.  

Race relations laws silence any who might raise objections to this attempted genocide.

Political correctness - the invention of the Marxists that have infiltrated every part of the Establishment - helps to get their degenerate social agenda accepted in every area of society from schools to police to church.  

All this is true and there are plenty of good sites that will rail against it; I will link from this site to some of the better ones.  I will not be above railing against these things from time to time myself.

But I want this website to be more than just an angry rant against the traitors.  I want this to also be a celebration of Englishness.

There are many who claim that the English do not exist, that England is populated by a mongrel people made up of waves of immigrants from whom the alien hordes who have arrived in the last sixty years are no different.

Rubbish!

I shall tackle this lie in a later post but, even if it were true, the English in 1950 knew who they were.  Their neighbours were not strangers who worshipped strange gods and spoke in strange tongues.  The English were not treated as second-class citizens in their own land.

We have much to be proud of.  I want this blog to help English people to regain their pride by celebrating England and the English.

Keep the faith!  Fight for England!
