Brighton: Reds Throw Bottles at Families on St George Parade

This message was sent to us by a supporter:


Dear Friends,

Today I was proud to attend the St George's Day March For England in Brighton. The fact that it was a non-political Patriotic parade, didn't stop hordes of unwashed UAF/SWP/Anarchist dregs throwing bottles at us. I saw one of our marchers hit in the face by a bottle. There were young children on the parade as well. The Far-Left failed to stop us and we flew the Cross of St George high!

Happy St George's Day

A very Happy St George's Day to all FC's English readers and supporters.

St George became the patron Saint of England after the returning Crusaders brought his cult back from Palestine.

In standing up to the pagan Roman Empire the Roman soldier St George showed that soldiers and warriors could lay down their lives for the Church and gain martyrdom.

An important ideal to those fighting the Crusades, to protect pilgrims who were being attacked and to defend Churches that were being destroyed. The Crusades were defensive wars (thus, just wars) not offensive wars (such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Lebanon, Palestine etc. today)

NB: To those gullible, ignorant or wilful miscreants who claim that St George was a Turk, he was not. It is thought he was from Asia Minor, but in the first Millennia that land was Greek/Byzantine/Roman and not "Turkish" or Asiatic. In fact it had some of the earliest Churches. St George was a European soldier in a European army. We've had enough of the atheist, communist, masonic lies. They're boring.

Happy St George's Day

A very Happy St George's Day to all our English readers and supporters - and those of English descent.

Today I have heard umpteen lefties, media-liars and assorted atheists repeat the lie that St George was a "Turk."

They know damn well that St George was an heroic Roman soldier from Asia Minor and as European as you or I (Asia Minor was then Greek and an integral part of the Roman Empire).

In short St George would have been indistinguishable from the Romans from modern-day Italy, Spain, Germany, Britain, Romania, France etc. that served in the Roman Army and gained Roman citizenship.

The media and political class do not want St George's Day celebrated because they understand that to be English is to have your roots in Anglo-Saxon England, whereas to be "British" is now just a name on a passport. Even so-called patriots say, for example, that a Zimbabwean who's as black as your hat and an African to his core, can be a "patriotic Briton!!!"

They also loathe the idea of England being at ease with its Christian roots, something that galls the atheists in the Labour Party especially; but which also jars a nerve in groups as disparate as Zionists and homosexuals.

So raise high the Cross of St George, brought back by Richard the Lionheart from the Crusades!

Perhaps the idea of sacrifice and loyalty as embodied by ST George, the Roman soldier, may infect a few more nationalists... so that they too may realise that to do what is right is far more important than giving up your core principles!

Cry God for Harry, England and St George!

Happy St George's Day

A very Happy Saint George's Day to all our English readers and to everyone of English descent.

"George was adopted as the patron saint of soldiers after he was said to have appeared to the Crusader army at the Battle of Antioch in 1098. Many similar stories were transmitted to the West by Crusaders who had heard them from Byzantine troops, and were circulated further by the troubadours. When Richard 1 was campaigning in Palestine in 1191-92 he put the army under the protection of St George."

Was Saint George stationed in Celtic Britain at Caerleon (Gwent) and Glastonbury? Certainly his adoption by the Crusaders as a Warrior who gave up his life for his Christian Faith led the returning Crusaders to promote him and eventually adopt him as the Patron Saint of Norman England.

Perhaps the fact that George the soldier saint replaced the Saxon martyr king, St Edmund, led to the flourish of military endeavours by the English, though perhaps he just added a patriotic seal to the wars with France and later to other wars too?

'I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit; and, upon this charge
Cry God for Harry, England and St George!'

Shakespeare's Henry V, Act 3, Scene 1, l. 31

Happy St George's Day

Everyone at FC magazine wishes all our readers and supporters a very Happy St George's Day.

It is a scandal that the English have no national holiday, no nationally accepted cultural event[s] etc. as do the Irish and Welsh for their Saints.

Where have the days gone of widely celebrated feasts? Where is the national pride that came so naturally to the English people of many centuries?

Are these relegated because they get in the way of businessmens' profits or because they reinforce the fact that England was Christian and celebrated her Saints for centuries?

It seems that everything can be celebrated in multi-cult England [Diwali, Holocaust Day...] but St George is relegated to a cameo role.

The other lie we get this time of year is that St George was a Turk.

St George was, it's widely accepted, a Roman soldier and officer who died for the Christian Faith. He was in Asia Minor [the Eastern Roman Empire, later Byzantium] which before the conquest of Byzantium by the Ottomans was peopled by a European/Greek people.

So the next time some socialist or faggot tries to downplay St George with this oft repeated lie, stand firm.

St George was embraced by the English knights as they fought the Crusades to free Jerusalem [the same Jerusalem that's occupied today] because he was a soldier who made the ultimate sacrifice for the same Faith they were going to fight [and die] for.

"A lesser holiday in honour of St George, to be kept on 23 April, was declared by the Synod of Oxford in 1222; and St George had become acknowledged as Patron Saint of England by the end of the fourteenth century. In 1415, the year of Agincourt, Archbishop Chichele raised St George's Day to a great feast and ordered it to be observed like Christmas Day. In 1778 the holiday reverted to a simple day of devotion for English Catholics."
