The English Democrats Party Putting England First - Olympics Success Stuns UK public

Few of us thought our performance at Beijing would be anything other than passable prior to the event starting. For so long have we spent vast sums of money getting nowhere fast.

The performance of the GB Team displays something that has been lacking for many years, sharp professional determination to go for gold and a shrugging off of the underdog mantra that "taking part" is good enough.

The determination to go for Gold and to turn round to all those PC zealots who have preached for a generation that "winning" is a dirty word can now eat their ridiculous dogma.

The people of this country want to back "winners". People of integrity, people with spirit and dedication and people who are not afraid to win....when it matters.

Well done to all those athletes who have reaffirmed the nation's faith in amateur athletics and the professionalism and dedication that could leave the UK 3rd in the world in terms of overall medal performance.

Whatever happens next will be to come, however, we have seen a truly stunning achievement and all those coaches, trainers, psychologists and roadies that have supported our talented men and women deserve our complete admiration.

Well done to all the athletes representing the UK - a brilliant team effort.

What has this got to do with English nationalism?

This is in direct contrast to their own policy which calls for an English Olympic team (I should know - I introduced it), and in contrast to their own members on another forum who aren't keen on 'Team GB'.

I'm confused...

Northumbrian, I do hope this is not an 'attack' on the English Democrats!!!!! :-)

Anything remotely smacking of criticism of the FEP, implied or otherwise, gets roundly condemned! Consequently, I'm now shell-shocked, doncha know! I shall have to retire to me bunker.

Cassie, I agree with 95% of the EDP's manifesto. I know precisely where they stand on English sport, but the problem occurs when members veer from the manifesto and publish their own agenda.

Now they could have re-phrased the article with 'great Olympics for English athletes', and 'a pity there wasn't an English Olympic team though'.

Don't you think that article is a little strange?

I was joking really! Yes, you've made some valid points. :-)
