This is the only country in the world where the national flag is deemed offensive.

Not the only one.

Clarkson’s usually funnier. Some shots on target though (unlike the mentioned England football team).

The problem with the national anthem is (a) it’s not a good song and (b) we don’t have an English national anthem.

English sporting teams should sign Jerusalem.

Excellent article, but.....

"We’ve been robbed of our Englishness"

Nope, you gave it away willingly. Not all of you, but enough of you.

[Cacique]

It's happening all over. The West is willingly committing suicide. And it's starts from the top down.

[TLI]

But all we ever hear now is that we in England America have nothing to be proud about. In a world of righteousness we are the child molesters and rapists racists.

Sure sounds familiar...

The commies want America to go down the same road. I smell burning revolution coming from that path.

Good to see there are still some real englishmen over there. Too bad there aren't more.

Spot on. The Marxists trod on...

At least we’ve got our RINOs to save us. ;-<

We’re all multiculti now — except for the cultures who want to kill us.

>>>>>>>We’ve been robbed of our Englishness<<<<<<<<

Yes, in October 14, 1066. Everything else is a prologue.

As of British Civilization, Gandhi answered it the most succintly. (I think it would be a very good idea)

Exactly what is an “oik”?

Clarkson for Senate! He could probably melt the Wicked Witch of Little Rock with a single raised eyebrow, unless, of course, she unhinged her jaw and tried to swallow him whole, like one of those tropical snakes going after a goat...

The problem is in the press—with respect to this particular article, the British press, but the problem exists everywhere in the English-speaking world. If you stand your ground and proclaim that not only are you British, you are aware of what makes you British, and that it is not enough to inhabit the island, one must also *be* British, the media demonize you. Then they pull in their minions to demonize you. Then they intimidate everyone else (most especially your elected representatives) into demonizing you. There is a tyranny of the Left in the English-speaking world, but nowhere less than in the television and print media, and if we are to prevent the decline of our civilization we need to end it.

I don’t know how to make that happen—we don’t elect the media, but somehow, some way, we need to neutralize the effectiveness of the demonizers. There is nothing wrong with nationalism, with a common identity and culture rooted in both the values of Western civilization and in national identity, and there is nothing wrong with Englishness (and I say this being not remotely English).

You (and we, in the wider English-speaking world) are dealing with two pernicious factions—those who actively wish to destroy the English roots of our civilization and those who, misguided as they are, feel guilty about it. They need to be either stopped, neutralized, or discredited. I don’t know what measures will be needed or how drastic they will need to be, but it has to happen.

Wow. What a depressing article.

Mr. Clarkson needs to find himself a good mosque to attend. That should lift his spirits.
