Musing on the problem of the interminable splintering nature of all English groups, which always tends to happen unless they agree to some sort of low grade philosophy such as the labour party which mostly panders to everyones emotion about everything and certainly not to any kind of clarity about English issues .
A substantial amount of people will always like that because it's so easy and you don't have to take any hard decisions or think about anything.
It's the way of the most ignorant and lazy majority.
But back to something better, how about a symbol, from history which unites everyone on the true nature and importance of our shared history and culture.
And before anyone gets worried, remember that there is nothing wrong with being English. There is nothing wrong with significant English religious or cultural symbols, depending on what they are, or what they mean. also if this causes references to Nazi swasticas or something then i must say that i'm totally against any kind of repressive regime.
But we are emotional as well as intelectual so this is a natural need to have symbols that draw us all together.
