That gravedigger from Hamlet was right about the English.

Following threats by extremist Islamic group, several corporations, chain of pubs ban England flag
Modi Kreitman
Hamlet: Ay, marry, why was he sent into England?
First Clown: Why, because he was mad: he shall recover his wits there; or, if he do not, it's no great matter there.
Hamlet: Why?
First Clown: 'Twill, a not be seen in him there; there the men are as mad as he.

Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the 'blood thirsty crusaders' and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.
"Our enemy says we must do it or they'll attack. We MUST!
The flag has recently appeared in England on everything from bikinis to cars, and sold in endless versions in stores. But the Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, Heathrow airport in London, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.
"Don't kill us, please. We promise to throw burqas on our women and forbio dhimmis to have a bearable existance. We promise that Britons shall never be free."
The Sun tabloid newspaper has in recent days launched a campaign to bring back the flag, and has published a blacklist of companies preventing their workers from expressing their patriotism at work. The Sun said that a large pub network has banned drinkers from entering with symbols of the national team.
Paging King Arthur. Paging King Arthur. They need your Majesty back in England
The hero of the day is a two year-old toddler, who was thrown out with his parents from Leicester, because he wore the England team's uniform.

#8  The Greek-Roman flags are out, as would most of the historical flags used by Spain, France and Germany, State-specific Tricolor(s) notwithstanding. That leaves the Cold War Commie flags, i.e. HAMMER-SICKLE-STARS resembling the MUSLIM CRESCENT-STARS, and the Sino-Nipponese Red = Yellow Sun flags or other pan-Asian pennants. THE US NINTH WILL BE HAPPY BECUZ, ASIDE FROM DECLARING AMERICA BEING AN ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL NATION - WID NO STANDING TO EITHER INVADE OR PROSECUTE NOR TO PROTECT ITSELF AND SO-CALLED AMERICANS FROM INVASION AND PROSECUTION, ANY AND ALL AMERICANS ARE EUROS WHOM ARE ALL GERMMANS, AND ALL GERMANS-NORDICS ARE JUST WEIRD-LOOKING ASIANS-CHINESE-AFRICANS - you know, Columbus and Leif Ericson, etal. declaring America = Vinland, etc. for God and China-Asia.

#6  This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.


Perhaps not even that-- just eyes downcast in shame.

#5  This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Apparently not any more

#3  Twobyfour, "Nuts!" wasn't Patton - at least, on the most famous occasion it was U.S. General A.C. McAuliffe, at the Battle of the Bulge, in response to a German surrender demand.

#2  Asylum. Or as ol' Patton would put it if he lived today: "Nuts".
