Yes indeed we are all being pushed around.

I live in largely rural county. Mass migration does not affect me here. I do not see it, or feel it's effect on a daily basis. So what happens elsewhere is not my concern right?

But I am English, and love of my country loyalty to flag is was unconsciously indoctrinated into me from the cradle.

Hurt my country and my people and you hurt me. These days I feel hateful and resentful.

I view all with suspicion and I trust no one.

I see the destruction of my country - and I need to blame someone for the blatant unfairness of it all.

I too have resolved to go back to Church.

My forefathers found comfort there when the Viking long ships were raiding and later when the Normans crushed us down.

"The Saxon is not like us Normans. His manners are not so polite,

But he never means anything serious till he talks about justice and right.

When he stands like an ox in the furrow,

With his sullen set eyes on your own,

And grumbles, " This isn't fair dealing" my son, leave the Saxon alone".

Kipling " Norman and Saxon.

We are being pushed too far. Unchristian it may be but I pray for a day of reckoning.
