Will England be able to remain England?

Question

In light of Euro-ization. globalization, etc.? I'm a concerned American cousin who hopes you won't go "Dutch" or "Belgian" on us.

Answer 1

I believe there is an intrinsic connection between the UK, through people like Winston Churchill and others throughout history that gives America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia , Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England an evolution towards justice and a sense of fair play. It is NOT an achieved goal but a process that we can judge ourselves objectively and try to get better long into the future.

Answer 2

There's that song, "There'll Always Be An England." As long as there's a country lane, something like that. If there's rugby and a pub and...I don't remember the whole thing. I heard the song on an episode of Keeping Up Appearances, where Hyacinth was having a luxury barbecue outside her sister Violet's house, and Violet and Bruce were having a knock-down, drag-out fight and every time they started up, she'd have the guests start singing a song (a "sing for your supper" feature.) They also sang, "Rule Britannia" and "She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain." It was awesome.
