THIS IS ENGLAND

I was quite surprised by the reaction that our St George postsings got yesterday. Because so many people these days seem to equate patriotism with right wing xenophobia, and that is merely ridiculous. The fact that we were questioning the historical reasoning behind St George as Patron Saint of England (Wayhay for Edward the Confessor guys!) was seen as us making a stand against racism.

Well, we ain't racist, at least I'm not, and as far as I am aware none of the other members of the CFZ Permanent Directorate are, but most of us are pretty damn patriotic. I always try to Mark St George's day, because it is our national day rather than because of any loyalty to a Syrian bacon-thief (if you are to believe young Freeman's version of events), and I was actually quite shocked at how vehemently some of you greeted any suggestion of English nationalism. So, following a suggestion by reader Robert Schneck, here is a song for you all.
