Following all that nonsense about the red duster just how far are we are gonna let our neighbours push us around. We English have not only had to provide governments for this lot but have had to pay running costs for it as well. Anyway before they pass a law saying we are to be known as Earthlings I wanna say this.


We English, the English, all English are best
So up with the English and down with the rest.
……….

Yet the loveliest bits of these islands of ours
Are in the control of three iffy powers
Look close at the Paddy, the Taffy or Scot
and you'll find a tosser, as likely as not.

We English, the English, all English are here
In a land full of plenty, with chips and warm beer.
………

Och aye, awa' wi' yon the noo.

The Scotsman is mean, with knees that are bare
And bony and blotchy and covered with hair
He eats salty porridge, he sleeps all the day
But relies on the English to show him the way!

But we English, the English, all English are best
An I don`t give a rat`s ass for all of the rest.
……..

Ah Beegorra

The Irishman supplies us with prime cuts of beef
He sleeps in his boots and he lies through his teeth
He blows up policemen, or so I have heard
And blames it on Cromwell or William the Turd!

But the English are noble, the English are nice,
And worth any other at double the price
……..

Ah, iechyd da

The Welshman's dishonest and cheats when he can
Is little and dark, more monkey than man
He works underground with a lamp in his hat
And he sings far too loud, too often, and flat!

The English are moral, the English are good
And clever and modest and misunderstood.
………..

All the world over, each nation's the same
It`s just that they’re useless at playing the game
It's not that they're wicked or naturally bad
But they know they’re not English and that makes erm sad!

For the English are all that a nation should be,
With Frey Bentos pies and crumpets for tea
With big country fairs complete with pig roast
And dangerous sailing around all our coast

We English, the English, all English are best
So up with the English we’ll take any test
That the English are leaders, is so plain to see
And the best of all England is Lizzy……….and me.

Cheer up Jimmy. We've got Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling, John Reid et al: all with sweaty credentials but we're still smilling /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. You can have them back if you like!

As a Welshman , and proud of it , couldn't that be considerred to be racist under the forum rules /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif, oh alright , it was funny /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif, being in business , yes I am after your money , so that's true anyway /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Ahem, it was equally funny 50 years ago when Flanders and Swann wrote it? (Most of it, not the Fray Bentos bit).
 
Um. Flanders and Swann racist, that`s interesting but then perhaps most literature 50 years ago could be described as racist if today`s standards are applied.
What should we do then Trev should all these books and songsheets be collected from our librarys and institutions and be put to torch.

Would that please you?
