Brown's authorised the removal of Britannia

Monday January 28,2008

GORDON Brown has ordered the removal of Britannia from 50p coins.

The patriotic symbol will disappear from British coinage for the first time in more than 300 years.

An artistic "representation of modern Britain" will replace the famous helmeted figure with shield and trident.

Are you fed up with Britain's traditions being axed?

What will Labour take away next?

Is this political correctness gone mad?

TRADITIONS BEING AXED

14.02.08, 5:04pm

If you Brits don't wake up you will have no traditions or legal systems left the way you just chuck all your good things away.
Us English speakers in the world just shake our heads at your cowtowing to every group who you think might get offended by your being Birtish.

At least your country has finally come to it's senses and kicked out that repulsive poisened little dwarf. Must have been to do with the recognition of how unhappy so many of you are over there.

Bet you're really concerned with the indigenous peoples traditions. Eaten any ugo-woogo grubs lately?

WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE NOT JUST FED UP, BUT VERY ANGRY

09.02.08, 3:41pm

Are we fed up wth Britain's traditions being axed? What a question to ask,THIS IS BRITAIN .........Shouldn't we be asking,not just sitting back feeling fed up,why the hell should anyone think they have any right to axe our traditions. NO, not even the government has that right to axe them as they are not theirs to axe,our traditions belong to all of us.
People who love this country should stand up and be counted and put pay to this chip,chip, chipping away at our history, why cannot we put up a fight to preserve our beliefs, the belief in our country ,its people ,way of life and its traditions.It does not matter what others think they can only do what we allow them to do

THE QUEEN FROM STAMPS?

08.02.08, 5:44am

Australia's new PM is long overdue for a backbone transport and his Deputy found to be the source of piles of Rocking Horse shit around Parliament. But even then, I would rather them than a man who is investing in the dismantling of Britain's traditions. Suprisingly enough, although it doesn't always appear so, there is still a fair amount of nostalgia in Australia for the 'ol country', but it is disappearing quickly. Everyday th news papers contain stories like this one and hundreds which indicate the sad devolution of Britain into a Muslim Protectorate.
