A once great ...Ana, I do not share your enthusiasm. A once great nation is reduced to this? Back to 1700? In 1700, prior to the Union of Scotland & England, England had full control over its sovereignty. As you know this is not the case today. Nor will it ever be unless we have a Prime Minister with the backbone and integrity to offer the people a referendum on the EU. I know all about the influence of Nick Clegg but David Cameron had already nailed his European colours to the mast way before he set sail on his cosy coalition. It is sad end to a British nation I suspect. Still, there is always the Fox's Prophecy.<br /><br />see link: <br /><br />http://www.anenglishmanscastle.com/archives/000149.htmlNobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088033081316289008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-47281875585278512072012-02-14T18:57:38.087-08:002012-02-14T18:57:38.087-08:00Do they make a fuss over Valentines day in England...Do they make a fuss over Valentines day in England like they do in America?, well I hope you had a nice one.anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931330128135957439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-86883415777222414902012-02-14T09:24:15.569-08:002012-02-14T09:24:15.569-08:00Like you, I regard myself as an Englishman who hap...Like you, I regard myself as an Englishman who happens to hold a British passport. I feel this way because the UK government is busy handing out British passports to all and sundry. Anyone, it seems, can have one. The more they do this, the more I feel English.
