MY RECENT SPEECH TO BRENTWOOD'S ROTARY CLUB
ENGLAND’S 1,100TH ANNIVERSARY 12TH JULY 2027
I am the Chairman of the English Democrats and a veteran campaigner for England and on behalf of the English Nation’s interests, I have been asked to do a speech to you about England’s unification date, 12th July 927AD and our 1,100th anniversary on the 12th July 2027.
We are used to anti-English jibes by England’s many enemies. Once upon a time you might have expected those enemies to be perhaps French, quoting De Gaulle’s claims of “Perfidious Albion”, or Napoleon’s “England is a nation of shop-keepers”, or to be Germans with their “Hymn of Hate against England” “We will never forego our hate, We have all but a single hate, We love as one, we hate as one, We have one foe and one alone – ENGLAND!”
However nowadays many of the most determined haters of England are Establishment figures, like the Scottish Liberal Democrat’s Leader, Charles Kennedy, a Europhile, who praised the idea of breaking England up into “Regions”, saying that he supported Regionalisation in England because “It is calling into question the idea of England itself”!; Or the Welsh born, former Labour Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, who officially denied “that there is any such nationality as English”!;  Or the pro-British former Leader of the Conservative Party, William Hague, who said that “English nationalism is the worst form of all nationalisms”!
The current unelected Prime Minister is a particularly strong England hater and wants to break us up into bogus Regions.
As these quotations suggest domestic opponents of England are opposed to our people identifying themselves as English.  All of them are Internationalist or Globalist or Multi-Nationalist in their thinking.  They probably lament with Karl Marx, that “All the revolutions of Europe are wrecked on the rock of England”!
We have also recently seen a spate of politicians like Rishi Sunak and Kemi Badenoch claiming to be English.  Refreshingly Suella Braverman said that she is British but not English.  Jacob Rees-Mogg has even gone so far as to claim that there is no such thing as the English and that we are “Mongrels”!
Englishness has also not been exclusively about ethnicity for a very long time.  Arguably the English have been considering what it means to have a relationship with the state not based solely on tribal or ethnic ties for longer than any other nation.  We must go as far back as Alfred and Athelstan to begin to understand what a complex mix of faith, custom, geography, monarchy, language, law and – yes – ethnicity, Englishness really is.
Finally, politicians and/commentators must desist from the patronising lie that ‘Englishness’ is unique in never having had any relationship to ethnic identity, that we alone have always been a ‘melting pot’.  It’s not borne out by history, it does not help our present reality, and if anything will drive dissatisfied voters into the arms of the genuinely extreme and racist, it is this lie.
It is therefore worth considering what is special about England that makes England a unique target of those that want to break up England, to deny the English their Nation State?  Let’s start with history.
2.     History
The first point to make about England is that England is uniquely old.  Indeed one historian poetically described England as “God’s first born among the Nations of the earth”!
The first proto-English settlers and invaders seem to have been coming into the Roman province of Britain, which included what is now England up to Hadrian’s Wall and also what is now Wales.  The Romans built defensive forts along the eastern shoreline of Britain on what they called the Saxon Shore.
But the first individually named English are the Chiefs of a force that came over in three ships after the Roman legions had permanently left Britain at, we are told, the invitation of the Romano British King, Vortigan, probably in 449AD.  Their names were Hengist and Horsa.  They were invited over to fight against the Pictish invaders from Scotland and, having done so, found they were not paid what had been agreed.  Then, as mercenaries have often done in such situations, they turned against their employers.  They soon found that after centuries of being protected and controlled by the Roman legions the Romano/British were unable to organise any coherent or effective military resistance.
These early English were pagans.  The Saxon Seaxe is the emblem of Essex.
______ ________ Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday = Tiwisday, Wodinsday and Thorsday.
England’s history suggests that many other Saxons, Jutes and Angles followed those first three ships and gradually drove the Romano/British to the West and eventually into what is now Wales.
It is in this period of history that the legend of King Arthur arises, as he is said to have been a Romano/British General or King who had success in fighting and pushing the Saxons back.
The archaeological records seems to suggest that in fact many of the Romano/Britains adopted the Anglo Saxon ways.
The Roman Catholic’s church’s missionary effort was led by St Augustine in 595AD on the orders of Pope Gregory the Great (who had seen English children for sale in the slave market in Rome and after being told that they were Angles said that they were so beautiful that they were “Not Angles but Angels”!)
St Augustine succeeded in converting the Kentish King, Aethelberht to Christianity in 598AD and set up a pattern for the church of focusing on converting the Kings of the Kingdoms of England, which was in contrast to the pattern that the missionaries in the Irish church had followed in trying to convert the People.
Whether England should be Roman or Irish Catholic was settled by the Council of Whitby in 663AD which led to the religious unification of England.
By 731AD the first great English historian, the Venerable Bede, claimed a united English Nation in which the Saxons, Angles, Jutes and Romano/British in England had united into a single English Nation.
At the time of his writing that was very much a hope rather than a fact, as England was then divided into the Heptarchy of seven separate Kingdoms.
The political unification of England might never have been achieved if England had not been attacked by the Vikings, which started with the sacking of Lindisfarne Abbey in 793AD.
The Vikings brought terror to the now Christian English as they were pagans who revelled in war.  The Vikings were prolific slavers, but also they used terror tactics to frighten the English people and especially their Kings into submission.
St Edmund, King and Martyr was captured and then shot to death with arrows and decapitated in 869AD (NB the wooden church at Greensted outside Ongar); Aella, the last English King of Northumbria, was blood eagled outside of York.  He was pegged on the ground and the “eagle’s wings” of his rib cage opened for Odin’s sacred birds, the ravens, were invited to feast upon his still living and conscious flesh.
Perhaps not surprisingly the next English King whom the Vikings turned their attention to, the King of Mercia fled with the royal treasury, to live out the rest of his days in luxury in Rome!
Eventually the Vikings had largely conquered all of England except for the last English Kingdom, the Kingdom of Wessex, which is when they came up against King Alfred the Great.
878 – King Alfred is attacked in Chippenham and retreats to Athelney; from there he fights a guerilla war against Danes and then gathers an army to defeat them at Edington.  A later treaty divides England in half, Danelaw in east.
Alfred is the Great because he set up the mission of reconquest and of English nationhood Christian, Education, Burg, Law, language manorial system.  The army and of putting the English on a permanent war footing (Basileus!).
899 – Alfred the Great dies after defeating several other Danish invasions, Edward is chosen as his successor.
917 – King Edward the Elder and Æthelflæd the Lady of the Mercians combine to defeat the Danish armies in Mercia and East Anglia at Tempsford.
927 – King Æthelstan takes the submission of the Northern Earlsat Eamont and so the Venerable Bede’s vision was completed.  Rex totius Anglorum.
937 – Æthelstan defeats combined army of Welsh, Scots and Irish Norse at Brunanburh, England is saved!
As for the 12th July 2027 we should celebrate England’s unification with a Bank Holiday.

The Commonwealth is an organisation which the English pay for but which is opposed to our national interests.
Commonwealth Secretary-General Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, a former Ghanaian foreign minister, has said a royal apology for Britain's role in the transatlantic slave trade "wouldn't hurt" and that the "time has come" for a discussion on reparations, according to reports.
