Icy North

It's been a few months since I brought my list of h2g2 Citations up to date (see A46972182)

I'll get around to it one of these days, but it takes a few hours trawling through various academic and news sites to find them.

I just had a quick trawl and was astonished to find an article which cited not one, not two but seven - count them - seven h2g2 edited entries smiley - smiley

The publication is a website: englishpassport.com It's a political site with articles on English nationalism. That kind of politics generally tends to attract a lot of bigoted thugs, to be honest, but they're entitled to free speech.

Anyway, in their article "Welsh Independence - Could Wales leave the United Kingdom - but what will Monmouthshire do ?" published on May 14th 2013 they linked to the following:

A580303 - Wales
A533341 - The Literary Roots of King Arthur
A207479 - History of the Celts
A2666216 - King Henry VIII
A545195 - British Parliamentary Reform in the 19th Century
A13911662 - Monmouthshire: A County, but English or Welsh?
A673490 - The National Parks of England and Wales

Here's a link: http://english-passport.org/2013/05/14/welsh-independence-could-wales-leave-the-united-kingdom-but-what-will-monmouthshire-do/

So, if you're a newly-cited author, congratulations smiley - smiley

... except if you're not into Xenophobic politics.

pebblederook-The old guy wearing surfer beads- what does he think he looks like?

I am English and proud of what my country has stood for in the modern world. We aren't perfect by any means but the good has at least matched the bad. One of the things that the majority of English have always been known for is tolerance.

I am proud to be English but that does not entitle me to discriminate against the non English. End of rant.

Asteroid Lil - Offstage Presence

I spent fifteen years living in England and found it more tolerant than the USA in many ways. There was not the need to conform that oppressed me so much in early adulthood in America.

That was the seventies. Have things changed?

England doesn't do change. Except for the extremists who have a new target every ten years. The 90% don't make a lot of noise, the 10% do.
