Axe falls on St George: Parade is halted after council says it attracts racist thugs
England’s biggest St George’s Day parade is facing the axe after councillors said many of those attending it were racist.
For the last decade up to 15,000 have assembled in the town of West Bromwich under the slogan ‘Forever England, For Everyone’.
Children and parents from all over the country parade through the Black Country town waving St George flags and marching to rousing anthems such as Jerusalem.
Organisers say one of the aims is to reclaim the Saint George

But last night the local council, Labour-controlled Sandwell, voted to withdraw its support for the parade. Funds will go to support a Party in the Park instead.
It leaves parade organisers with what they say is the impossible task of raising £10,000 to cover their costs with only a few weeks to go.
In a letter to the organisers, one councillor, Yvonne Davies, said the parade created an ‘unhealthy atmosphere’ and inspired young boys to be racist.

Hot off the blog!
"As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers - the banks, big corporations, the government. And, for the first time in our lifetimes outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise."

You must be kidding me. Lets all be frightened and panic stricken. What fools are these that hold power? Tell them to walk or hang. Go on with the parade!
Government interference of this sort can not be stopped by asking pretty please.
Screw the town officials pay for it yourself make t-shirts with ethnic slogans to pay for the parade. A crusader defeating a Muslim or a black would look nice on a shirt.
[...] Look at all these racists with their racist flags. Similarly, when commemorative marchers are attacked in Dresden with clubs and bottles by self-described “Marxist” and “Anarchist” gangs, the German media denounces the “neo-Nazi” marchers. And the Judeo-German government is no better, gladly violating its own law against “defaming the dead” by denying the Dresden holocaust at every turn. “This is holocaust-denial of the acceptable type. One goes to prison in Germany for saying the execution gas chambers of Auschwitz-Birkenau were a ‘myth,’ but the claim that the holocaust in Dresden is a ‘myth’ is published in Spiegel, Germany’s leading magazine, and made the subject of serious and respectable discussion. The hypocrisy is astonishing.” [...]
The Flag of St. George was famously draped on the wall of Carpenter’s Hall during the signing of the Declaration of independence, symbolic of a return to the “True England.” We should follow such example. It is high time we had a revolution of our own, so, at long last, we could have free speech on a par with the Americans. Enough is enough. I am neither ashamed of my blood or my country, but of the rotten system which allows suppression of the Rights of Englishmen.
