Or would you rather see it turned into a police state?</strong> </a> <br /> <br />Oh yes, as John Ashcroft once sang in his fine American tenor, The Eagle Soars. Clearly, we Britons are not quite as grandiose as our American friends. For us, there is no eagle - but many a squirrel burying nuts, many a fresian mowing grass, many a nightingale singing in Berkeley Square. This land is at great risk, fellow patriots, unless we reassert our pride in this wonderful heritage. <br /> <br />As our hallowed Prime Minister once said, in his usual charming series of staccatto non-sequiturs: <br /> <br />Proud, but not prejudiced. <br />Fair, but firm. <br />Ample, but not swollen. <br />Saucy, but savoury. <br />Free, but foxy. <br />Tough on young people, tough on the causes of young people. <br /> <br />I weep every time I think of those wonderful phrases. <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9346824-110163706894262040?l=proud-of-britain.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gene Poolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15845204603119271313noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9346824.post-1101583442296680172004-11-27T11:14:00.000-08:002004-11-27T11:24:02.296-08:00Everyone's proud of Britain! <a href=http://www.stalinism.com/shot-by-both-sides/full_post.asp?pid=623> <strong>Stalinists</strong> </a>, <a href=http://jewssansfrontieres.blogspot.com/2004/11/googlebomb-new-labour.html> <strong>Jews</strong> </a> and especially, of course, <a href=http://www.andrew-miller-mp.co.uk/What%20makes%20you%20proud%20of%20Britain.htm> <strong>politicians</strong> </a>! <br /> <br />Pride is spreading <a href=http://www.whereveryouare.org.uk/weblog/archives/week_2004_11_21.html> <strong>Wherever you are</strong> </a>! <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.spiked-online.com/sections/central/bites/2004-11-24.htm> <strong>Proud Brittania</strong> </a> is once more on the march. <br /> <br />Are you doing your bit for <a href=http://www.proudofbritain.net/> Pride </a>? <br /> <br /><img src="http://www.scriberazone.co.uk/images/covers/union_jack.jpg"> <br /> <br />Must maintain stiff upper lip... pride is swelling from my tear ducts in a hot flow... onward, patriots! <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9346824-110158344229668017?l=proud-of-britain.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Gene Poolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15845204603119271313noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9346824.post-1101570979789373602004-11-27T07:10:00.000-08:002004-11-27T08:00:44.056-08:00What makes you <a href="http://www.proudofbritain.net/"><strong>Proud </strong></a>of <a href="http://www.proud-of-britain.org.uk/"><strong>Britain</strong> </strong></a>?
