If another smart arse “Sooooo right on” type,

comes up to me today & points out he’s Turkish I am going to takes up arms against em. Fer Fucks sake, these are the same people who piss off to the Pamplona Bull Running so they can “experience the culture” over there….. George has been a national icon in this country since the bleeding 14th Century, part of our heritage. To me that makes him part of our culture, I know it’s in to be anti nationalistic, but the current trend to laughing at anything with English connotations really ticks me off.

Why don’t we just pack the whole lot in and paint the bloody place grey and live in a fucking UPVC featureless country, Fuck it we got Tescos and telly, what else do we need.

It is possible to be patriotic without being "nationalist" (in the negative sense)

unfortunately, the binary thought processes of the people reading the popular press cannot make this distinction.

I support patriotism. Right on, engligga.

But talking to a smug twunt in his silly sunglasses (raining today)and his H & M jacket harping on..."oh it's all sooo dumb, it's like morris dancers and shit...."

"glarey type eyes from me..."

(

The magic of chutney Shakes it like an Instagram filter!, Wed 23 Apr 2008, 12:34, archived)

I fear that it has much to do with the lack of strong nationwide traditions in england

Yes, there are morris dancers and plenty of things from history which could be better commemorated, but many of these things have been shunted out by the influence of american culture.

I dare say, the smug twunt in his silly sunglasses and his H&M jacket would probably have phrased his sentence more like "Like, it's all so totally dumb, you know? Like, what? Morris dancers? Like, uh, yeh right"

It's not a pop at americans, it's just my opinion on the erosion of english tradition.

[nice spread matey!

here's my response to the polotuks.

Nationalism is a shallow comfort for the part of our brain that deals with recognition of other humans as "familiar". It was useful in the feudal mid-ages of Europe, but became less useful as the world "grew smaller". Culture, and nationalism can be considered as distinguisable from each other. Or perhaps the other route would be to say nationalism is a sub-part of culture? I would recommend reading the MonkeySphere...

He was serving in the Roman army in what is now Turkey. He never visited England, spoke English and probably knew nothing about England.

He was brought in by the Normans to try and stop the populace adoring their English heroes.

So, from a certain point of view, English nationalist zealots idolise an immigrant! (As do the Irish and the Scots)
