GB News Presenter Alex Armstrong marks the 1,099th birthday of England, tracing its roots back to July 12th, 927 AD when King Æthelstan brought the nation together. Alex Armstrong delivers a powerful monologue on the profound global impact of English history, from common law and representative parliament to the industrial revolution and classic literature.

The panel quickly breaks out into a fiery debate over English identity today. They clash over whether patriotism and the St. George’s Cross are being unfairly demonised by leftist ideology, or if national symbols are sometimes co-opted for intimidation and division.
