Views from The English Community
Edited by Tony Linsell
The English, like other nations/ethnic groups, share a sense of community and belonging that comes from a shared history, culture, ancestry, and language. Membership of such a community depends on very much more than where you were born. "If I had been born while my mother was travelling in Japan I would not be Japanese, and if I went to live in Scotland I would not become Scottish". Many English people feel that their communal interests and very existence are denied by a British state which is intent on promoting an inclusive British history and identity. A competing English identity is clearly seen as an inconvenience something to be buried and forgotten. Thus, for example, Newton, Shakespeare and Cromwell cease to be English and are relabelled as British. This collection of 44 essays, stories and poems is a powerful assertion of English communal roots and identity.

Our Englishness
Edited by Tony Linsell
Seven authors argue for the existence of an English nation defined in terms of history, culture, and community. Here is a sketch of Englishness as it has evolved over nearly 2000 years. Topics touched on include the origins of the English, the continuity of the English language, an English identity rooted in the early Christian Church, a personal discovery of the Anglo-Saxon cultural threads, the nature of nations and nationalism, the tendence of current ideological orthodoxy to degrade and suppress Englishness, the identity crisis faced by the English-Americans.

The Deculturalisation of the English People
Rev John Lovejoy
The English are not doing those things that are necessary to maintain a distinct culture and way of life. English identity is neglected and being left to crumble. Worse still, Englishness is actively discouraged, and in its place we are offered the glitter of an easy one-size-fits-all Western identity. Deculturalisation is revealed in the inability of many, and especially the young, to be able to answer the connected questions: Who am I? What do I believe? Where do I belong? Who am I loyal to? Everywhere we see the loss of communal values and perceptions. John Lovejoy gives reasons for the deculturalisation of the English and points to the remedy.
