Members bolty58 Posted April 23, 2014 Members Share Posted April 23, 2014 Henry V 'I wear it for a memorable honour, For I am Welsh, you know, Good countryman' (He was also a Plantagenet, so half French, but aligned kinship with Edward, Black Prince of Wales) Churchill - well we all know how proud he was of his American mother and heritage. Orwell - I suggest you look at the Lion and the Unicorn - Socialism and the English Genius; a great man who questioned the very nature of what it is to be English in the gathering storm. Also, pretty much a socialist. Brooke - well, yes a more heartfelt rendering to one's homeland you'd be hard pressed to find. But overall the war poets were hardly tub thumping nationalists. As for Rhodes - didn't he spend most of his adult life in South Africa and was pro-expansion of the British Empire at the suppression of the indigenous people? I only know what I've heard based on that ludicrous quote that's attributed to him, so perhaps he was a lovely man. Not anti- English at all, just hate nationalism. It means nothing to me really and a lot of nationalist rhetoric can be taken wholly out of context. But happy St George's Day! It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the English began to hate. They were not easily moved, They were icy-willing to wait, Till every count should be proved, Ere the English began to hate. Their voices were even and low, Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show, When the English began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd, It was not taught by the State. No man spoke it aloud, When the English began to hate. It was not suddenly bred, It will not swiftly abate, Through the chill years ahead, When Time shall count from the date, That the English began to hate. (Rudyard Kipling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So you are quoting a Kipling poem written by a father who lost a son in a war he felt futile and raging against an enemy through grief? Hardly a banner most of use would want to gather behind and then there's his famous line in Epitaph to War; 'If any question why we died, tell them, because our Father's lied.' You also quote Kipling and Orwell both of whom had very different ideas about nationhood to each other. Perhaps try and get a little background and perspective on your quotes - especially if you are holding up literary luminaries to hold up a concept of jingoistic nationalism which I believe to be so far removed from what it actually means to be English. Looks like a right knees up in the office though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not asking you to take advice, just read between the lines a little bit my friend.

Youri McAnespie Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Black peas on another thread, homemade meat and potato pie on this? Is it bommy neet already? Surely Roast Beef with all the trimmings and Bramley apple crumble and custard, for afters, would be the 'tradtional' (as in I've just made this 'tradition' up on the spot, now) St. George's Day fayre? Either that or a elephant leg kebab from The Nile with ironic requests for surplus armywear and ceremonial daggers while you wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
