NO TO FOOTBALL TEAM GB

The British are known for pulling the wool over the eyes of the English by slipping important items out while other bad news is grabbing the centre of our attention, and they are at it again. While our eyes are focused on the disgraceful goings on in the British Parliament, the English Football Association has announced that they have had agreement from the Scots, Welsh and N. Irish football associations that the England football team can have its name changed, and be supplanted with the British team name GB.
This must be stopped at all cost because there is no doubt that this could not have happened if their associations had not had 100% guaranteed assurances in writing that their teams would retain their individual identities in future competitions, and only our England name would be under threat, and you can guarantee it will be.
This is another of Gordon Brown’s Britishness and Labour party stitch ups and we need go back no further than the election of the independent chairman of the FA Lord Triesman, his close confident and Labour whip who became his Minister for the Department of Innovation, University and Skills and was the first person to be appointed outside football. The appointment was made possible by non other than Labour’s own Scotsman Richard Caborn who was the man who pushed through the Burns review that led to the decision for the FA to appoint an independent chairman in the first place? Lord Triesman is another of Labour’s ex communist ilk and when appointed he said he would win over doubters who feared his appointment signalled a Labour takeover of the FA, right, like the recent appointment of Ian Watmore another Labour Minister. Lord Triesman did add however that is political connections would be useful, useful to push through Brown’s Britishness more like, another reason why we need our own English Parliament.
You should not forget that when the Tour of Britain Cycle Race first came on the agenda the same thing occurred, and we had to fight tooth and nail to stop it. Other than England the 3 home nations were allowed team entrance on their own identities, our team England was made to have the name GB and riders were not even allowed to put down their English identity on the team sheet.

AN ENGLAND TEAM, AN ENGLAND NAME, OR NO OLYMPIC TEAM AT ALL

DO NOT VOTE LABOUR, LIBERAL, OR TORY IN NEXT WEEKS ELECTIONS

The British should keep their noses out of our business

Gordon Brown – Everyone must know that they are being heard. There is no option I will not consider if it redistributes power. What has always been clear to me is that we must look at new ways in which the political elites can be made accountable to serve more effectively the single most important person in our democracy – the citizen.

Father forgive me for I no not what I do - What an hypocrite Gordon Brown is and what does it say for his religious upbringing, and how it confirms what is said describes many a local vicar ‘Do as I say and not as I do’, and Gordon honestly believes what ‘He’ says too. I don’t think the poor man realises yet that he was the mastermind behind devolution that gave Scotland the country that elected him, its own parliament, thus making himself unaccountable not only to the people of Scotland for all of their domestic policies, but unaccountable to all of the people of England for their domestic policies too. I wonder if he realises also that he is the sycophant and puppet for the other ilk in Europe who like him are unaccountable, unelected, and irremovable by the people of England at the ballot box, and that it is ‘they’ who are dictating their policies onto us and not him.
This man is either mad, bad, just plain stupid, or a bit of each and I wouldn’t trust him to change a light bulb let alone being put in charge of changing our constitution.
‘You stupid boy’ the man even helped bring in the legislation that is actually discrediting himself, his government, and this parliament and you can’t get more stupid than that, or can you, he has brought in his enemy Peter Meddlesome a man twice discredited in positions of government authority to try and save his premiership. It is him and his party that destroyed the British Civic identity and signed it over to Europe by recognising the separate civic identities of Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and now wants to resurrect it by supplanting it on England.
How can anybody of sound mind be considering voting for this man and his party?

David Cameron – ‘Power to the People’ is his cry, and any readers who watch old programs on Sky will be familiar with this call being associated with that idiot Citizen Smith, and like him Cameron shoots himself in the foot and is discredited before he even gets to the election starting blocks. This man promises to give us a referendum on the European Lisbon Treaty, the one in Labour’s manifesto that Brown reneged on, but when questioned on the Andrew Marr show he would not commit himself to a referendum if the Irish had ratified it before a general election in which he had won, so some ‘Power to the People’ his policies are going to be. This mans rhetoric makes him seem like gods gift to democracy and he is promising all things to all people, but he is already proving himself to be no better than the other lot, and if he can’t be trusted to give us a say on surrendering our nations sovereignty to Europe how can he be trusted to carry out his other promises either, and this is reason enough not to vote for his party.

Nick Cleg’s Lib Dems – What’s the point? This party shows us what the 3 main British political parties are all about, and what they all are – self interested, corrupted, crazy people who think nothing of discriminating against one section of England’s people and who will only listen and appear to care about anything or anyone but themselves when their own livelihoods are threatened.
All British MPs are crazy and not capable of making rational judgements, this is a valid reason for getting rid of them. After going into Muslim countries and killing Muslims in support of American policies and in one case fighting an illegal war in Iraq, the British are now asking these very same Muslim people who have settled in England to support them and their actions at the ballot box.
Watch this Lib –Dem on U-tube.

It is about time the people of England told these British Political Parties and the EU to keep their noses out of England’s domestic affairs; they have no more right to tell us what to do than they have to tell Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland what to do, and if they believed all this Power to the People, standing up for democracy, and decentralisation of power they speak of, they would start by giving the us our own parliament so that we too could decide our own policies and set the parameters to be met by our own MPs. One of which no doubt would be the requirement asked for by any good Working Men’s Club. ‘Anyone applying for any responsible position within the club must be of sound mind and not have been convicted of any criminal offence or been involved or suspected of being involved in any offences concerned with fraud, theft or dishonesty, or offences that could bring the good name of the club into disrepute’. Obviously not applying to British MPs.

The Institute of Public Policy Researchers Guy Lodge and Michael Kenny said it’s not true that the English want their own parliament. Perhaps they would like to prove that by suggesting the question be put to the English in a referendum, or perhaps if David Cameron is forced into a vote on the Lisbon Treaty they could suggest it be added to that voting paper if they are so sure.

The British have no right to decide England’s local government or poke their noses into England’s domestic affairs; they don’t poke their noses into Scottish, Welsh or Irish affairs so they should stop meddling in ours.

DON’T VOTE LABOUR, TORY, OR LIBERAL IN THE EU ELECTIONS


We must not forget that it is the British that are denying England its political recognition, the British MPs we have sent to parliament to represent England, it is these who are to blame. Until we have our own English MPs not British MPs representing England nothing is going to change.

PANIC

The British political parties now up to their necks in effluent from their expenses scandal are starting to swim like the rats that they are, but with the King Rat now gone and still no let up, is panic starting to set in. The Labour Party believing they are going under the mire first and stand to lose a majority of their MPs in the next general election, are proposing to change the electoral system to a form of proportional representation, believing the electorate will not understand a new system and can be fooled into still giving them votes, so saving more of their MPs. The Tory Party on the other hand have said they will do nothing to save their rats and are willing to sacrifice any that look like going under, which leaves their party in a dilemma, as it looks as if panic as set in and at least half of their MPs are preparing to commit suicide, forcing their leader to plead for more recruits. The Liberal Party rats that jump on the backs of one or the other of the other parties rats, are finding it difficult to find enough Tory rats high enough to jump on and are going down too, so will have to support Labour’s proportional representation if it comes about to survive.

What we don’t need now is this band of British brigands meddling any further with the UK constitution until there has been a general election; they have caused enough trouble already.

DON’T VOTE FOR BRITISH PARTIES IN THE EU ELECTION

Stinking Rich

They warned us of a Swine Flue pandemic and we got it, everyone living in the UK has been effected, and it is unbelievable that even with everyone still suffering with sickness, diarrhoea and breathing problems caused by the stench from this cesspit of a rotten parliament, the swine that are causing it are still in there and referring to themselves as the Right Honourables, supplanting effluent for affluent like they supplant Britain for our England.If it had only been a few in one party, if it had only been one issue, if it had only infected the back benches,if it was only in parliament,we could perhaps have isolated them and saved the rest. Unfortunately the virous as infected all of the British political parties and the entire British establishment and it is to late now to do anything other than a massive cull right down through the ranks of the regional quangos and town councils. Some are claiming immunity, but we have not heard their voices calling for justice for England, all we hear are their cries for help as their reputations go under the mire, and we know from past experience that for the rise of evil it only needs good men to do nothing, and that’s precisely what these that claim immunity have done, nothing. We the people of England are being robbed, cheated, and lied to by a bunch of British MPs who like traitors have sold their souls to an EU establishment that wishes to destroy the notion of our countries very existence in order that they can spend their time and our money looking after their moats, tennis courts, and duck ponds.
We the people of England have been let down by everyone from the Monarch to the Parish Councillor, from the Archbishop to the Parish vicar,from the House of Lords to the magistrate,and worst of all by the BBC and most of the media, and we must start to let them know it.

THE VOTE THAT CAN DESTROY OR SAVE OUR NATION

Your vote in the June European elections could decide one way or the other whether the United Kingdom will remain a sovereign nation state. If the major British political parties are wiped out or given a severe set back, David Cameron could be forced to carry out his threat to leave the European Peoples Party in Brussels and to offer the country a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The EEP is the largest party in the EU and has as its main objective the creation of one EU Federal State, one that will take unto itself all of our nation’s sovereign rights and one in which the UK and our MPs will have no more authority than that allowed to a province or a county council, on top of which it was and is opposed to us having a vote on the issue, notably the Lisbon Treaty. Unless we have a central government with sufficient authority as a nation we will forever be vulnerable to the whims and wishes of every other European country, and we have to remember that the EU is run by a group of people who are not elected, can not be removed, don’t have to listen to anybody, and are at this present time supplanting 75% our English Laws of democracy with their own. Nations have a right to govern themselves under their own laws, but over and over again we have been conned and tricked by the conniving British and EU establishments into accepting these treaties only to find out later that disguised in the package of proposals are major differences that are not only detrimental to the laws of our nation but to our nations very existence. The EU is trying to unravel the nation states with regionalism policies that are intended to take away the power of nation state governments, and what we are seeing is the creation of balkanised regions that are being conned and forced into conflict with one another for supremacy over the available work and resources, which only the strongest regions can win. We have been betrayed and are being betrayed by British politicians who we now see have their heads so deep in the trough and been feathering their own nests that they have had to shut their eyes to the consequences of the EU and our government’s actions on the United Kingdom, and especially on our English Nation. The 1998 Devolution Acts were forced on the UK by a New Labour Government who fully support Europe and the ‘European Peoples Party’ policies which is why they never carried out their manifesto pledge of giving us a referendum on Europe’s Constitutional Lisbon Treaty, and it must be said that David Cameron’s Tories and Nick Clegg’s Liberal Party lack lustre opposition to it is also because they too are members of the ‘European Peoples Party’. The 1998 Devolution Legislation is breaking up the United Kingdom and dividing the nations, and anyone who believes any of the major political parties are seriously trying to stop this and are against these EU regional policies should think again, and consider the ramifications for England as these policies are carried out and England without a parliament of its own disappears out of political existence.
We are now told that the people of Gibraltar voting in the European elections in June will be voting to elect a candidate in one of our English Regions, and what is more they could decide the result. We must be mad to allow this to happen. You must not forget either that you do not get a chance to pick your European MEP candidate, it is the choice of the political parties, which in other words means you will be voting for someone who represents their political parties interests and not yours.
There are 529 British MPs representing England in the UK parliament and non show any inkling of support for England’s political recognition, they must be told in no uncertain terms that it is us the people of England and the United Kingdom who are sovereign and not the other way round, we have only lent them that power and they have no right to give that power away without our say so. (Oliver Cromwell had the answer to such people)

20 April 1653 Oliver Cromwell to the Long Parliament:

“It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice; ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government; ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess? Ye have no more religion than my horse; gold is your God; which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation; you were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do; I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place; go, get you out!
Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors. In the name of God, go! “


Norman Tebbit a Tory grandee recommends a protest vote against the 3 main British political parties because of catastrophic problems with their Expense Fiddlers, I recommend the same protest vote, but against the entire British Band, who are out of tune with the British public at large, are tone deaf, and treat their English sponsors with contempt.

To stop the rot we need to get rid of the lot and create a new British Parliament with input from 4 separate and equal national parliaments not the three we have now.

MPS RESORTING TO THE NUREMBERG WAR TRIALS DEFENCE

‘If ever there was a moment when we really could do with England starting again just like Scotland with its own parliament, and shedding all the inanities, the vanities and the corrupt practices of both past and present in the way we are governed, it is now.’ That was the message put to all CEP blog readers by Gareth Young, Brighton member of the Campaign and co-editor of its website http://www.thecep.org.uk/wordpress/blog/

‘If a British politician has ever told you that the reason that they don’t want an English parliament is because it would mean ‘an extra layer of politicians’ and ‘extra cost’, then now you know the real reason why. They don’t want an English Parliament because it will drive their Westminster gravy train up against the buffers. We have seen how Scotland, the moment it got its own parliament, free from the tentacles of Westminster and its centuries of corrupt practice, established the clearest of guidelines and rules for their MSPs. The moment two of its members were found to have broken its rules, they were made to resign. Here, we have scores of Cabinet ministers, shadow cabinet ministers, junior cabinet ministers and backbenches milking the system which they and their colleagues past and present set up; and to date not one single resignation. They have preached ‘Britishness’ and British democracy but have undermined the concept through greed. They are money-grubbers feather-bedding their lifestyles. They have no claim to govern England. England needs a clean sheet to start again.’

‘Their argument ‘I complied with the rules' is in essence the notorious Nuremberg Defence,’ Michael Knowles head of the CEP Media Unit has added to Gareth’s message. ‘Not of course in scale. Of course not’. Yet legalistically and morally in essence the same. The war criminals argued in Nuremberg that they obeyed the law; here MPs argue they have complied with the rules. There is no conceptual difference. In Nuremberg exposure of wrongdoing was followed by retribution. There is no retribution whatsoever in this case. And these MPspr expect to get away with it all just by ‘apologising’ and saying it will be enough to change the rules. Not at all. They so argue because they want to hang on to monies which in the 'court of public opinion' they unfairly obtained. There has to be retribution. Either MPs should pay back the monies they took from the public purse, or they should face prosecution for breaking the law if, for example, they have not paid capital gains tax where it was owed. Or both. There is no gainsaying it any longer. England needs its own parliament where it can start again, with a clean sheet, with new men and women, bound by new rules, this time in this modern age subject to the full force of freedom of information legislation, transparent and translucent.’

The British now put England's Carnivals under attack

After cancelling their St. George’s Day Parade in April we now find out that Walsall council have cancelled a parade of floats at the traditional Bloxwich Carnival. An event dating back 60 years that attracts over 5000 visitors will have its parade cancelled because the council say the organisers can’t afford the £2000 for the new Health and Safety regulations they have put on them. Carnival chairman Ken Worley said the regulations were “barmy”, this is a repeat of the same thing done to the organisers of the carnival in Wombourne South Staffs. What is it with these councillors, and in whose name and interests are they serving by discriminating against our English heritage and traditions, and what is it and on whose authority is it that lets them treat one section of the English population different to how they treat the rest.
Only recently we saw Wolverhampton Council inviting thousands of Wolves fans to a screening of the cup presentation in West Park, but not telling them that they had slyly arranged for Traffic Wardens to come round after the event had started to slap £70 parking fines on any cars parked on the grass verge and streets around the park. This did not happen on the following Sunday when the park held a Vaisakhi celebration and cars where parked in the same areas, then no Traffic Wardens appeared. According to the Express and Star, when asked for an explanation on Monday, Alistair Merrick the council’s chief officer with responsibility for parking enforcement said “Parking services were not aware of the Vaisakhi event in West Park yesterday and clearly this is a mistake”. His statement has to be questionable because the event had been planned for and advertised for months including and up to the Saturday night prior, and may have been believable if it had happened at the Wolves event which was hastily planned.
Following the disgraceful treatment of England’s St.George’s Day by some of our local councils these latest actions should be expected and in no way helps to unite what is becoming a divided nation.

We must not forget that it is the British that are denying England its political recognition, the British MPs we have sent to parliament to represent England, it is these who are to blame. Until we have our own English MPs not British MPs representing England nothing is going to change.

The Campaign for an English Parliament welcomes the result of the Times Populus poll

A special Populus poll for The Times, to mark the tenth anniversary of the first elections to the Scottish Parliament indicated that in England and Wales 41 per cent support the idea of an English parliament.
However, Scilla Cullen, Chairman of the Campaign for an English Parliament (CEP), addressing a meeting of CEP members, asked why people in Wales were consulted about whether they supported an English Parliament 'The people of England were never consulted whether they wanted an Assembly for Wales or a Parliament for Scotland. Surely it is the people of England, not the Welsh, who should to be consulted if they want an English Parliament?'
'And why,' Mrs Cullen queried further, 'were we not given the figures for England? Clearly if the Times had cared to separate out the figures for England in this matter, the percentage in England supporting an English Parliament was most likely to be higher and in line with other recent polls that return figures of between 60 and 70%.
'We hear ad nauseam,' she said, 'Establishment pundits and the British government telling us that there is “no demand” for an English Parliament, yet again and again when asked, the people of England do want parity with the other countries of Britain. In the three most recent opinion polls their support ranged from 61% to 68%. Clearly the demand in England is at least as high at that in the referendum for the Scottish Parliament, namely 44%, characterised by those same pundits as “the settled will of the Scottish people”, and much higher than the 25% of the Welsh electorate that voted for devolution.. And what irony that the present government was elected by just 21.59% of the electorate.
'Nevertheless, the will of the people of England continues to be studiously ignored by the British Political Class. Labour, Conservative and the Liberal Democrat parties have set their faces against an English Parliament. They see it as a threat to their power and their whole life-style. We hear that David Cameron has said he will treat the people of Scotland with respect if the Conservative Party is returned to power at the next general election. Will that respect be extended to the wishes of the people of England? The Conservatives tell us that the UK cannot afford an English Parliament. The CEP says that we cannot afford the dubious, excessive, immoral practises and expenses of the members of the British Parliament. An English Parliament will be the golden opportunity to bring in root and branch reform of the corrupt way in which the Union Parliament operates.'

British Blatent Descrimination of the English Workforce

'All classes of nuclear submarines in Britain will be based at Faslane on the Clyde in Scotland from 2017'. That was yesterday’s announcement from Bob Ainsworth Minister of State for Defence. As from 2017 there won’t be a single nuclear submarine based in any English naval port. There will be no jobs for an Englishman or woman in the maintenance and service of the British nuclear fleet as from 2017.The four Vanguard class submarines, which carry Britain's Trident nuclear deterrent, are already based in Faslane. But from 2017 the remaining three nuclear-powered Trafalgar Class submarines, which do not carry nuclear warheads, will be moved from Devonport in Plymouth to Faslane. All the 10,000 plus jobs plus a similar number in the industries immediately supplying the bases will go from Devon to Scotland.
‘This is the most blatant act of discrimination against the English workforce yet carried out by this Scottish-led government in its eleven years of existence,’ David Wildgoose, Vice Chairman of the Campaign for an English Parliament, has stated in an emergency letter sent to all CEP members. ‘I urge every single member to write to their MP to object to this injustice. Britain's entire nuclear submarine fleet is to be based at Faslane on the Clyde. This government is allowing the "Scottish agenda" to threaten English jobs. Gordon Brown is taking jobs away from the English workforce of Devonport to ingratiate himself with this own Scottish countrymen and women in the hope of preserving Scottish votes in the coming local and EU elections on June 4th and the General Election next year. It is downright wrong. It is downright discrimination.
‘I agree wholeheartedly with the condemnation of the decision made by Gary Streeter, the MP for Devon South West who has said: "I fear that the Devonport naval base is going to be allowed to wither on the vine over the next five to 10 years. It has had 320 years of history. We will have the amphibious fleet, but that is three boats and not much else. That is not going to replace all these frigates and submarines". I agree with Mr Streeter when he says he is particularly angry because English jobs were being jeopardised by an attempt to appease the Scots.
And Mr Wildgoose reminded the CEP membership that for the last two years, in one press release after another, the Campaign has been trying to bring public attention to this Scottish-led UK government’s policy of transferring naval shipyard employment from Devonport, Tyneside, Barrow on Furness and Appledore to the two Scottish yards of Faslane on the Clyde adjacent to the Glasgow heartland of the government’s support in Scotland and to Rosyth right next to Gordon Brown’s own constituency. ‘We must make our objections known to our English MPs. English MPs must stand up for the English workforce'

We must not forget that it is the British that are denying England its political recognition, the British MPs we have sent to parliament to represent England, it is these who are to blame. Until we have our own English MPs not British MPs representing England nothing is going to change.

WITH BRITISH MPs REPRESENTING US IN THE UK PARLIAMENT ENGLAND IS NEVER GOING TO GET EQUAL TREATMENT; AGAIN THE BRITISH OPERATE THEIR DOUBLE STANDARDS.

Jim Murphy MP for East Renfrewshire and Secretary of State for Scotland, has announced that the planned new bridge for the Forth adjacent to the Prime Minister’s constituency in Fife will go ahead. It will cost £2.3 billion. Every penny will be paid out of the public purse. No tolls will be charged. The citizens of Edinburgh which contains the constituency of Alistair Darling Chancellor of the Exchequer and which will benefit directly and those of Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath which borders the Forth and is the constituency of Gordon Brown will not have to contribute a penny. But in England? The new Mersey bridge between Lancashire and Cheshire which is also going to be built will not be paid out of the public purse at all. It will be paid for in its entirety through toll charges. It will be paid for in its entirety by the tolls to be imposed on everyone using the new Mersey crossing. Mainly of course the people of both English counties and the people of England’s North West in general.

‘The injustice doesn’t stop there,’ Michael Knowles head of the media unit for the Campaign for an English Parliament has stated in his May message to CEP members. ‘The Brown-Darling government has invoked the one and the same Barnett Formula to justify the expenditure in the one case and to refuse it in the other. How they can do it is beyond comprehension but obviously their attachment to their own country of Scotland is ruthless. Every citizen of Scotland, man, women and child, receives £1600 more per annum in social expenditure than people in England. And that is before there is added in the immense benefits gong to Scotland through the Devolution block grant.

‘It is about time England’s MPs got off their backsides and stood up for England,’ stated Knowles. ‘They know the score perfectly well. They know that no bridge or road of any sort in Scotland charges tolls any longer, while throughout England tolls are charged, like the Humber Bridge, both bridges across the Severn, the Dartford Crossing and the North Birmingham M6 relief road. England’s MPs know all about the injustice of the Barnett Formula, about Scotland’s students not paying top-up fees, the freeze in Scotland on the council tax, no hospital parking charges and soon no prescription charges either. So basically the problem the people of England have is not just with a perverse constitutional system that favours Scotland at England’s expense. Our problem is also with our MPs.’

OPEN LETTER TO THE CALMAN COMMISSION ON SCOTTISH DEVOLUTION AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT FROM THE CAMPAIGN FOR AN ENGLISH PARLIAMENT

We read in the Times online of 28th April 2009 that radical plans to give the Scottish government control of up to half of the income tax raised north of the Border and most of the revenue from North Sea oil and gas are being considered by economists advising the Calman Commission.

We are told that the commission, chaired by Sir Kenneth Calman, was charged by the three main Unionist parties (Labour, Liberal Democrat and Conservative) to find ways that the existing devolution settlement can be made to work better for all parts of the UK. We must assume that all parts of the UK includes England but most of the gas fields are in English waters so who is to negotiate on England’s behalf? Who has the authority to ensure that the interests of the English taxpayers are protected? Indeed who speaks for England?

We are further told that the commission is set to back borrowing powers for Holyrood as one of its main recommendations when it reports later this year. While not explicitly stated, the inference from other reports is that the borrowing will be from the British Government the vast majority of whose funding comes from England. With the example of the toxic assets of the Scottish banks before us should not England be consulted before its people are touched for any loan? And what guarantee do the people of England have that such debts will be administered by those with the best interests of England at heart?
If Holyrood is to get most of the revenue from British North Sea oil and gas-will the Scottish government then take on most of the cost of the failure of the Scottish Banks or will the enormous national debt, taken on by the British Government on behalf of those banks, remain a millstone around the necks of the English taxpayer for a generation? Of course we have been here before. The foolhardy Darien expedition bankrupted Scotland, and the 1707 Treaty of Union was purchased at the expense of England by a Stewart monarch

It is imperative that an English Assembly or Parliament is con vened in order to protect the interests of the people of England who are currently unrepresented nationally in the British constitutional settlement.
