Does **** mean successful grown up?

Are you an actor? You seem to have emerged straight from central casting as retard of the week.

i think you are showing eactly what kind of bigot you are

My local councils interpreters cost our local junior school £160 per hour each, with a good number being in attendance at any parents evening and are at the school almost daily. Not a bad service to the parents who have decided to move to the UK solely to improve their economic situation.

Learning English is of course imperative to getting on in this society, and many of course want to. There is a valid argument that this service is vital and an unarguable necessity in practice. There is also the argument that some councils are squandering large amounts of money on having to deal with the problems of having large numbers of people living in their borough who have entered the country with no English language skills, in part due to the apathy or active encouragement towards the mass migration into inner London and other parts of the UK especially in the last decade by those less directly affected.

I live in N8 and work in SE1, so I'd say I was affected by any large migration into the capital. I don't disagree that there is a cost to migration or that it often falls on working-class areas. However, I would argue that the overall balance sheet suggests that migration to the UK has been more of a benefit than loss to the country (and that does not mean that I am blind to the small minority of migrants who are criminal or anti-social).

As Lokki says good wind-up but getting a bit obvious now.

And yes, I am biased against the cliche ridden, racist and stupid among us which has nothing to do with social class btw.

What a load of cobblers.

sorry i dont accept that, whats the problem with it

Macky, I am proud to be English, and I can hold my head up with dignity when I think or say it. But in reading your well-intentioned, but mis-guided 'poem', I, for one, will not be told to or lectured on HOW I should be proud to be English, and the things you take appear to take pride in leave a lot to be desired.

Just for a start, tolerance, for instance, is one of the cornerstones of the English character. It's a lesson you could do well to learn before you start your crusade.

you can only tolerate so much ,everyones got their own breaking point, so let him have his say

Apart from the slight own goal of Shaw being from Dublin?

He has, but there's more to being English than just being born in England. His pride in England is not based on traditional, considered values of Englishness, and his knowledge of English history leaves a lot to be desired.

Okey dokey - what has stopped you celebrating your Englishness or even your Uckfieldness recently?

Indeed. Anyone who feels unable to express their Englishness (whatever that may mean to them personally), or is intimidated to do so needs to look inside themselves at their own insecurities and lack of self confidence rather than blame the lefties, PC brigade, pakis, darkies, jews, chinks, poles or whoever it is currently fashionable to blame for your problems.

That poem that started the thread off, for one. Its sentiment about the English is so full of holes, I could drive a bus through it.

It's probably fair to say that the St George flag has now be rightfully re-claimed by the English (the far right can have the Union Flag - how many do you see at England games nowadays - for all I care), and since then I have never had a problem proclaiming my pride in England. And this from a 'lefty'.

So why are you advocating that you or anyone should have a problem? I see none.

This country has produced Churchill, Lennon, Brunel, Shakespeare, Moore and Nelson so doesn't need a GCSE standard poem to sell itself.
