  Reactionist nonsense! We are still English, we still live in England and we can still openly recognise ourselves to be that.
  
  We still have an England football team with people flying the cross of St George from their cars, we still have hundreds of years of colourful history and heritage, and nobody says that can't be this. OK national identity has been hijacked by groups like the BNP to insight the exclusion of 'foreigners' and this in turn has led some mindless liberals to mistake national pride for racism.
  
  The idea of not being allowed to be English is the sort of thing that is believed by Daily Mail readers, who seem to forget that we are a nation of immigrants with alliances and progress forming our identity. The seemingly indigenous people of this country are Anglo-Saxon, the hyphen says it all! I'm hard pushed to think of another country whose inhabitants are a clearly defined as a mix. It's a shame that the unrealistic liberals and far right xenophobes have created this silly notion. I rather like this one more:
  
  My mother was half English
  and I'm half English too
  I'm a great big bundle of culture
  tied up in the red, white and blue
  I'm a fine example of your Essex man
  I'm well familiar with the Hindustan
  'Cause my neighbors are half English too
  
  My breakfast was half English
  and so am I you know
  I had a plate of Marmite soldiers
  washed down with a cappuccino
  And I'll have a veggie curry about once a week
  The next day a fry it up as "Bubble 'N' Squeak'
  'Cause my appetite's half English
  and I'm half English too
  
  Dance with me
  to this very English melody
  From Morris Dancing to Morrisey
  All that stuff came from across the sea
  
  Britannia she's half English
  She speaks Latin at home
  St. George was born in the Lebanon
  How he got here I don't know
  And those three lions on his shirt
  they never sprung from England's dirt
  Them lions are half English
  And I'm half English too
  
  Oh my country
  What a beautiful country you are
