In April the British Prime Minister (MP for Scotland’s Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency) announced (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7995652.stm) plans to force all English children, (but not those of his own constituents because he only has control over England in this matter), to carry out at least 50 hours of community service before the age of 19. He was quoted word for word without correction: “It is my ambition to create a Britain ( England ) in which there is a clear expectation that all young people will undertake some service to their community, and where community service will become a normal part of growing up in Britain ( England ).
He also said the community work would be linked to a “clear system of accreditation” meaning that children who refuse to take part in the slave labour would fail or marked down in their Citizenship exams.
Now this government’s higher education minister for England , David Lammy, has said that a national (only applies to England ) civic service should be in the next Labour manifesto. In addition (English) university students would be required to carry out 100 hours of community service in recognition of the subsidy the state pays towards their education - estimated at £8,000. The £450m cost of the scheme would be funded by levying interest on student loans English students already leave university with twice the debt of British students from Wales and Scotland because they are, uniquely, obliged to pay top-up fees and are subsidised less by the British government than other British students who are extensively subsidised by their own national governments.
One surmises that these proposals will not be in the manifesto they publish for Scotland but only that published for ‘ Britain ’, which means England . Let us hope that this never comes to fruition since Labour is unlikely to win a general election. Nevertheless we are told that The Conservatives have proposed a six-week national service scheme for youngsters in the summer after their GCSEs. If the Conservatives form the next British government they will also only have power over English youth in this matter.
However, as unlikely as it is that his proposals will ever come to anything, this Prime Minister will ask, via his party’s manifesto, the voters of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath in Scotland to elect him, so that he will be able to compel English children to carry out unpaid “voluntary” work by making it a compulsory element of the English school curriculum.
Mr Lammy has backed this call for a national army of volunteers (sic) to help the UK economy out of recession. Because of devolution this measure will only apply to England but it is clearly stated that it intended to help the whole of the UK including Scotland and Wales . Yet another example of how England ’s people are expected to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the so-called Union . Indeed, is this one of the benefits for England that the Unionist LibLabCon parties are always telling us we enjoy?
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.
