    I didnt mean actually richard branson, i just meant someone whos sort of come from nothing and made something of themselves. i couldnt think of another person like that so i just put richard branson.

    maybe we don't celebrate st georges day because we are confident enough as a nation not to have to. We have 1000 years of history behind us. People who feel they have to have a special day to say 'look at us aren't we great' are a bit lacking in self confidence IMO. we don't need it. More bank hols though...... now thats different
    :D

    stop being a twat, seriously did your parents have any kids that lived?

    i've not met a muslim yet or anyone else who's objected to me wearing an england top or openly showing my pride for england, and i know more than a handful. fuck it, i've met ethnic minorities who fly the flag for england with pride and love this country, although why they do with wankers like you around i'll never know.

    its a fucking media myth that ethnic minorities have anything against english flags and the like, its perpetuated by the odd middle class white tosser who thinks that everything is offensive to someone and then goes and bans a flag or makes a some stupid pc ruling that makes things worse. then newspapers, like the sun, pick up on it because they know cretins like you love a witch hunt, despite these incidents being few and far between.

    fucking grow up you piece of shit. i despise fuckwits like you dragging this nation down. you're not english, you're a cunt.

    Give the English the day off, move a bank holiday. They aint going to create a bank holiday for people to drink Scrumpy Jack at the pub,while watching Morris dancers. The sheepshaggers & Jocks can get to fuck, they have got free NHS drugs & zero Uni fee's so they need nowt else.

    It's true - it's mostly not the minorities that cause the problems, it's the tits that believe everything will offend so ban it in the first place.

    There was a teacher at my sisters school who was suspended a couple of years ago for decorating the classroom in england flags on st georges day.

    Thats fucking grim.

    just been on the phone to my mam(yesterday) and she said it was because the place where they lived had quite a high hindu population.

    and the headteacher didnt want to offend any of these so he took what he thought were appropriate measures.

    its all the PC cunts who spoil evertything thats at fault.

    you cant play tiggy or conkers cos you might get a lawsuit.

    you cant say 'brainstorm' incase you offend epileptics

    you cant call a blackboard a blackboard.

    this country is fucked.

    a very good mate of mine is a hindu and she would laugh at that kind of nonsense.

    but you're right mate, theres a load of fucking idiotic twats out there who are too concerned with offending people that they dont realise their own patronising behavior does exactly that. however they ARE a minorinty, a tiny percentage that have a voice... its just a pity they often seem to have a louder voice, or at least the media let them have a louder voice than the people who talk sense and see more than one side to a debate.

    muslims, or whoever fuckwit_jimi wants to blame for his failings are most often not the cause. its rarely the people who are at risk of offence who actually cause the problem... its pc wankers who feel the need to impose themselves on the rest of us as they think they know better... it has fuck all to do with the minority groups in society.

    i love being english, im proud... and thats why im not gonna fanny out and blame minorities for the mistakes of other, more powerful, people.

    You are regurgitating possibly the most tiresome cliched topic in Britain today. Don't let it worry you too much. There is more to the world than conkers and blackboards.
