Article Directory :: Politics & Government Articles England And Saint George Racist? By Tony Cordingley Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 24Apr2009 Word count: 525 Viewed: 180 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Today, April 23rd, I made lots of little flags for work. They had St Georges flag on one side and Polish, Czech, Slovak, Isreali and Indian flags on the other. You might be surprised at how many "foreigners" are happy to fly our flag. It is white middle class lefties obsessed with political correctness that usually cause all of the arguments about racism and stuff like that. However, despite my good intentions to include the foreign workers in our national Saint day celebrations, I got into a blazing row with a supervisor over my flags!!!! We, that is, me and the foreigners, all had our flags stuck proudly to our benches when this supervisor came along, specifically to me, and said that we had to take down the St. George flags because they are racist and lots of people, including her, were offended by them!? This supervisor is white, female and english? I was extremely embarrassed to have an english person, and a representative of the management of the company I work for, say very clearly in front of my fellow foriegn work friends that she, and therefore the company, believed that St. George represents racism because it is "English"! Naturally I exploded and told her that I thought her attitude was disgusting and based on ignorance and stupidity (Actually my words were much stronger!) Later, she went to one of the Polish lads and told him that he could put his flag back if he wanted to. She did not come to me, and she did not apologise for causing such embarrassment in front of my work friends, especially as I had gone to so much trouble to make "St. Georges Day" a multi-national celebration at work. I can't help wondering how many other british companies are guilty of this institutional racism. Once again it was not a foreign person who complained about our "English" flag and patron Saint, but an ignorant stupid white english person obsessed with the misguided political correctness which invades and infects every level of our society. There is no other country in the world where the people of that country are forced to feel guilty about their national heritage. There is no other country in the world where it's government actively condemns it's own people (and voters) as "racists" if they try to demonstrate any pride in belonging to that country. There is no other country in Europe where the people would put up with being labeled racist for any of the above reasons, except in England, where the English people have completely lost all sense of pride, dignity and self worth. Who's fault is it? Well it is "our" own fault! It is us the English people of England who are guilty of rolling over and allowing our governments and any bored middle class little hitlers to dictate how we should feel about our "Englishness". It is unlikely that englishmen will ever find the nerve to dare to be proud of being english ever again, because our government has turned us all into effeminate wincing wimps. God help England, because you can be sure the English will not! Tony Cordingley. Guilty as charged for being English and therefore racist, at least according to our government and many british industries and institutions. http://www.tonycordingley.com EasyPublish™ this article - publishers click here More articles by Tony Cordingley
