Ivanhoe; A tear in the eye

I happened to catch the end of the film, "Ivanhoe" on TV this afternoon. It quite brought a tear to the eye as Richard the Lionheart, accompanied by a cavalry festooned with the cross of St George, and carrying pure white lances rode into the castle to usurp the baddie, King John.

This film was obviously made in a time when it was acceptable to be proud to be an Englishman. If made today there wouldn't be a cross of St George in sight.

This is an attitude we have to change.

Wasn't Elizabeth Taylor a looker when she was in her prime in this film. An absolute stunner

Goodbye guys and gals. We gave it a try. Immigration worked with everyone else. Just not muslims. No hard feelings. Have a nice life, just have it somewhere else.

She can park her toothbrush next to mine anytime

But I have drifted off OPs topic.
What would Richard the Lion Heart say if he was told that 900 hundrd years later his descendants would invite the descendants of Saladins army to live amongst us, and anyone who questioned this, would be vilified by the Engish ruling class?
