THERE can be no doubt, that the English are now one of the most abused ethnic groups in the world.
The best example of this is the American film industry, with its blatant anti-English propaganda. Of course, the Scots, Welsh and Irish have no such problems.
Yet, over the centuries, the English contribution to the advancement of civilisation, democracy, political and religious freedom, industry, commerce, science, seafaring, medicine, music, literature, sport, etc is second to none and their language is universal.
If the English do not awaken from this slumber and regain their self-respect, then England's future is indeed bleak.
