I think it's a poem that the BNP would be proud of.
As fro the older generation not liking change.
I am 87,and fought through WW2.
I realise that change is necessary for a country to survive,and just hope tha this change can be brought about peacefully and with an concensus.
Just go to rural France,Spain and Italy,ans see how no change has occurred,and you will see a countryside as a living fossil peasant economy.
It is precisely all these immigrants over a thousand or more years that has made the UK(and England) such a diverse and amazing country.We may be getting more immigrants now (from the EU) but that doesn.t mean that given time they will not be absorbed into our culture.
This "Little England" attitude does no good,nor does it respect myself and my forces colleagues who fought and died to keep England(and the UK) the free,tolerant and diverse nation that it is.
When someone can give me a complete and sconcrete definition of England/Englishness then I may reconsider my argument.
Alec.
