Happy St George's day!

if englishness ever were genuinely under threat i'm sure you'd see an immediate resurgence of nationalistic myths and traditions in response. this does not include the BNP.

Got one of those pre-mayoral election pamphlets the other day, with an overview of what each candidate was standing for.

The BNP bloke, a 'true Londoner' (currently residing in Dagenham), sees it as his duty to protect children (we know what he's trying to say), and yet wants to scrap the congestion charge and therefore encourage more traffic (the number one killer of children by about 3 billion miles) back into the densely populated residential areas in Central London.

Boris Johnson's bit was funny - it essentially said 'I want to turn London into a police state'.

I feel safer already...
