There was an interesting comment on one of my Facebook chums feed just now.
"I would rather dye my hair than dye for my beliefs"
I suspect that on St Georges day the apathy of the English can be encapsulated in that statement, and I know many people who would clamber to agree with it.
I can't help feeling that is the very reason why the corrupt, the power crazed, the bullies and the cheats continue to get away with it, and the only time anyone really takes notice is when it gets serialised on TV.
"Give me Liberty or give me death" - Patrick Henry
"Go back to bed America, here is American Gladiators, you are free to do as we tell you" - Bill Hicks.
Thank you to a couple of great Americans for helping me see whats wrong with today's England.
Happy St Georges Day!
