Happy New Year 2008

A Conspiracy Theory

The United Kingdoms Prime Minister is Scottish but because England has not yet been granted devolution in the shape of her own English parliament Mr Brown needs to be seen as British not Scottish, already a lot of establishments are backing Mr Brown who himself says Britain in his own speeches when in reality he is talking about England.
The BBC and ITV have released many, many TV programmes that contain the word Britain in the title, Great British Menu's, Britain Has Talent, Greatest Britain, etc
Advertising has suddenly spouted a lot of British adverts so the plan is going well.

What would have put a huge dirty great big spanner in the works would be to have seen millions of England's St George Cross flags proudly flying over houses and businesses and streaming from car windows in 2008, not really what GB would have wanted.
This got me thinking about England's football team (Yes the one's that the FA insist on playing the British National Anthem for) Was Steve McClaren really that bad a manager? Was the cream of the English premier league so bad at playing football to qualify for the European Championship in 2008?

Take a look at this group again

Team	GP	W	D	L	GF	GA	Pts
Croatia	12	9	2	1	28	8	29
Russia	12	7	3	2	18	7	24
England	12	7	2	3	24	7	23
Israel	12	7	2	3	20	12	23
Macedonia	12	4	2	6	12	12	14
Estonia	12	2	1	9	5	21	7
Andorra	12	0	0	12	2	42	0

Not exactly world class teams are they?
Now ask yourself, just exactly how much did it cost Mr Brown for his cronies in the FA to throw a few matches?

Merry Christmas

My other idea was a parcel with "English Parliament" written on it and a tag that said, 'Do not open until 2010!'.
But anyway, Merry Christmas to every one in Blog land, keep shouting, who knows?

England mentioned in today's Sun

He He

Nationalist TV Programme

I am sitting here tonight watching a brilliant nationalist TV show, there is a great emphasis on England vs Scotland vs Wales with the presenters pushing viewers to vote for their country and not necessarily the musical talent. I'm going to vote for England.
I hope Gordon Brown is watching, no mention of Britain on here, he he
What's the show called?
It's the live final of the X Factor

Also the semi final of strictly come dancing is following the same nationalist lines with the three celebrity dancers being from England, Scotland and Wales. Not Gordon's night for watching TV eh?

UPDATE: X-Factor Scotland won, Wales came second and England lost

European, No Not I

EUROPEAN, NO NOT I
I'M ENGLISH TILL THE DAY I DIE

FOR KING AND COUNTRY BRAVE MEN DIED
NOT NOW TO JOIN THE OTHER SIDE
THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES SO THERE WOULD BE
AN ENGLAND THATS FOREVER FREE
EUROPEAN NO NOT I
I'M ENGLISH TILL THE DAY I DIE

I WONDER WHY WE WENT TO WAR
AND CHURCHILL MADE OUR COUNTRY ROAR
I THOUGHT IT MEANT WE WOULD NOT GIVE
UP RIGHTS TO HOW WE WANT TO LIVE
OR WHY WE LOST SO MANY MEN
TO FIND OURSELVES AT WAR AGAIN
SO FLY THE FLAG GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

EUROPEAN NO NOT I
I'M ENGLISH TILL THE DAY I DIE

WE FOUGHT THE FRENCH AND GERMANS TOO
AT PASSCHENDAELE AND WATERLOO
NO THOUGHT BACK THEN OF HANDING IN
OUR ST GEORGES CROSS FOR SOME BLUE THING

THIS EUROPE THING IS OUT OF HAND
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN LONG MAY SHE REIGN
UNTIL WE CROWN A KING AGAIN
EUROPEAN NO NOT I
I'M ENGLISH TILL THE DAY I DIE
