We all know how we got in this credit mess and you would think the banks would be, at least slightly, embarrassed about the whole thing and try to avoid annoying their customers by ripping them off. You would think!

NatWest, in their ultimate wisdom, now take the interest on overdrafts two week earlier each month than they have done for the last ten years. Apparently all customers received a booklet in January explaining this. Well I didn’t. I have also been informed that they put this all over their statements, but I bank on-line with paper-less statements (on their recommendation). Therefore NatWest took money from my account without my knowledge and have sent me over my overdraft limit. This will cost me £28 in charges. This is nothing short of theft.

When I phoned to complain I was informed by a sanctimonious NatWest robot that this was done to help all customers. Hmm! Yes please, NatWest, take money from my account earlier I insist! What a load of bankers! They took this decision on a purely commercial, money grabbing basis and bollocks to their customers.

I am sorry but I have had enough of these greenie tree hugger yoghurt eating hippies calling for police brutality at the G20 the other day.

Sure, there is evidence of the police going over the top and some of them will be suspended and possibly sacked but I would just love it if the people that were protesting were burgled today and a police officer could not come round because they were suspended - could you imagine the amount of shit the police would receive for that???

Look at other countries who have hosted G8 of G20 conferences, and look at how their police have sorted out the protesters? We let these bunch of ‘un-washed tree huggers’ get away with breaking the law and when the police react to severe provocation the media demonise the most tolerant police force in the world.

Shame on the media and shame on the hippies who need to get a job, a life and some soap! You are willing to hug a Polar Bear or a tree but you would gladly hurt a British police officer just for doing his job. You make me sick!

It seems these days that the English identity is being eroded. We have to be British first and English second, whereas the Welsh or Scots (quite rightly so) are Welsh or Scottish first and British second.
As an example Tim Henman is British, but Andy Murray is Scottish, and I don’t have a problem with this, but Tim Henman was never referred to as English, always British.

Perhaps a little poem might explain it a bit better:-

OUR ENGLAND

Goodbye my England, so long old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end.
To be Scottish or Irish or Welsh that’s just fine,
But don’t say you’re English that’s way out of line!

The French and the Germans may call themselves such,
As may the Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch.
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane,
But don’t say you are English ever again.

At Broadcasting House that word is taboo,
In Brussels they’ve scrapped it, in Parliament too.
Even schools are affected, staff do as they’re told,
They mustn’t teach children about the England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton or Shaw,
Do pupils not learn about them no more?
How about Agincourt, Hastings or Mons?
Where England lost hosts of her very brave sons.

We’re not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away, over the sea!
We’re English from England let’s all be proud.
Stand up and be counted, shout it out loud!

Let’s tell Gordon and Brussels too.
We’re proud of our heritage, not just red, white and blue.
Fly the flag of St. George, not the Union Jack!
Let the World know ENGLAND is back!
