Devolution – The making of Scotland – The destruction of England

Under present European legislation all national governments are required to transfer power down from their own national central government to a lower level – usually the choice is between regional or local government.

This legislation is the basis of any nation’s acceptance of entry into the European Union and it is legislation that our British Government agreed to on behalf of the United Kingdom. (The British State)

While this has not generally been seen to be a major stumbling block for all other nation states across Europe, who already had some form of regional or provincial government, it is however a problem of seismatic proportions for the British here in the United Kingdom because the UK is a multi-nation state and it meant devolving power down to the nations within it, so entry was never certain and a cause of much debate.

In 1997 a gang of Scottish conspirators and Europhiles (Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling and the disgraced speaker Michael Martin amongst them) who had signed an oath in 1989 vowing to put the interests of Scotland before that of any other nation (The Scottish Claim of Right) suddenly found themselves in control of a New British Labour Government, and they then wasted no time in honouring that oath when in less than a year they had complied with the EU and brought in devolution legislation that gave their own Scottish Nation political recognition and control over its own domestic policies with a parliament. (Devolution Acts 1998)

Devolution has been good for Scotland is the cry 10 years on, how could it not have been when Scotland for all of those 10 years has had two governments working in its best interests, one of their own in Scotland and one in Westminster, and Scotland now commands 188 MPs and MSPs, a UK Prime Minister and a Chancellor of the Exchequer all putting their interests first, while we the people of England have no separate representation at all, and are having to watch as these Scottish conspirators steal England’s money, deny England and our nation its English identity, break our country apart, sell off our assets, and declare our country England a British European Nation state open to the world for colonisation.

Question - Why do the British say there is no English Nation?
Answer - If they admit to an English Nation the British do not exist

The EU devolution legislation has created two major problems for the British -
The Question of Sovereignty – The Question of Identity

The United Kingdom in its pre 1998 form as the British State could not meet the entry requirements of the European Union, yet the survival of the British and British sovereignty revolves around the continuing existence of a British State.

The United Kingdom had a choice, to devolve power and then fight for sovereignty from inside the EU or come out of the EU altogether, and the Scottish led New Labour Government of 1997 chose the first option, and proceeded to devolve power in a way that gave the most benefit to their own Scottish Nation. But their 1998 Devolution Act did give enough power to the other minor nations for them to establish their own separate political identities.

When it came to devolving power to England and the English Nation the British had a problem with their identity, if England became English they had nowhere to go? So they came to the conclusion that if they wanted to stay in the EU their best chance of survival was to supplant the name Britain for England and force onto England and the English Nation an indigenous British identity.

In this they are having varying degrees of success because they are controlling the media.

It has taken a long time for the English to realise this, but at last there appears to be major signs of an English revival, and the British know it. The English are seeing through the British futile attempts to disguise their demise under offers of English votes on English Matters and their new English pauses for English causes to answer the West Lothian and English Questions and the tide is turning against them.

David Cameron is not calling for a withdrawal from the EU or promising a referendum if the Lisbon Treaty is agreed before a general election. Watch the British voters start jumping ship if the Irish say yes to Lisbon later in the year and it is realised that the Scots are freed from the power that the British are using to hold them in the Union,and watch the Tory lead decline as the English move to the parties that offer them recognition with a parliament when they realise they have been betrayed yet again.

The question then will become which of England’s main British political parties is going to gain the initiative and be the first to abandon the sinking British ship and return to England before being put out of existence by the rising English National parties like has happened in Scotland.

Was it and is it right that the reserved powers kept by the UK British Government from Scotland and Wales should have been and are being put in the hands of MPs whose constituencies are in Scotland and Wales while England has no separate parliament?

There is only one way to save the Union and that means pulling out of Europe

I can't agree with your conclusion that the only way to save the union is to come out of the EU - frankly the only way to save the union is to continue to give Scotland more devolution and more control over its own destiny.
I needn't remind you - but I will - that the people of Scotland voted for devolution in 1979 - that 52% of the Scots voters voted for devolution then - 69% of the then Scots MPs voted for it - did we get it ? Nope.. we were frankly robbed .
This did create great anger in Scotland - how would you feel if 52% of the English voters voted for an EP and didnt get it ? Angry - perhaps .
I think that you are barking up the wrong tree on your EU argument, I believe that the basic problem is one of numbers and publicity . There seems to be very little demand amongst Joe Public for an EP .
Frankly I would suggest that you encourage independence for Scotland as that's the only way that you'll get an EP .

In reply to McFeagle - lucky Scots. As a casual observer it seems to me that the English have never been asked whether they wanted a Parliament unlike the Scots and the Welsh. In 1703 Scotland and England joined together in an infinitive union which Scotland has now decided it no longer wants leaving the English with a British unionist parliament. It would seem strange to any observer that 85% of the population of the United Kingdom seems to have no say over its destiny. I doubt very much if the future actions of approximately 8 million Scots will have any impact on the future of England. The problem for England is not the Scots but a British government which is determined to commit ethnicide against its own English peoples to justify its existance. Had the Scots or the Welsh been at Hastings in 1066 they may well now be suffering the same fate.

Replying to McFeagle,
Point 1 - I believe that the British are being blackmailed by the Scots at England's expense with the help of a pro Scottish government and Prime Minister, and if the English had had a chance they would have called the Scottish bluff by now.The CEP is not for or against the Union so we will not be supporting Scotland's independence, but if they want out they must not be allowed to escape without paying their share of the Union debt.
Point 2 - It is not true to say that Scotland voted for devolution in 1979, the vote did not meet the governments terms of reference ie. 40% condition.
Point 3- There have been numerous polls carried out by Mori and one by the BBC that have shown support for an English Parliament has been growing, and one poll in 2008 said it stood at 67%. The problem we have has you quite rightly say is that of publicity; going to Britain not England.
Point 4 - I can't honestly see how we can make major constitutional changes free from EU interference.

In response -
1) Your average Hamish McSporran isn't sitting at home scheming to blackmail the English, nor is your average MSP. The British parliament seems to have forgotten that it's responsible to its voters - which are mainly English - 85% or so. I would suggest that you look closer to home and canvas your local MP.
2) 52% for Scots voted for devolution in 1979 - I was one of them ! In any normal election 52% of the vote is enough to win - but the English dominated (85%) British parliament changed the 'normal' rules. We wus robbed !
Someday you will have a referendum for an English parliament will they use the same rules ?
3) 67% in a poll needs to be translated to 67% in a referendum ( with over 40% of the eligible voters voting ! ).
4) The EU want to keep the countries of these Isles in the EU - they will bend in the public's wind.
