One year into a new government and its no change for the English

For thirteen years British MPs representing England in the United Kingdom Parliament have sat on their backsides and watched what were virtually Scottish led New Labour governments destroy all that was good about Great Britain. These so called English MPs were so engrossed in lining their pockets with fools Gold after being allowed to fiddle their expense sheets, dig out their Moats and the refurbish their Duck Houses that they had no time to consider the consequences of what was happening to the country they represented, and as long as a blind eye was being cast over their dealings they couldn’t have cared less, and only when it was too late did they realise that the Scottish tail was now wagging the English dog. The United Kingdom is now a shadow of its former self, and those British MPs who represented England over that period have disgraced themselves and have a lot to answer for; they sat back and watched and said nothing when successive British governments denied England its ability to have a voice in parliament and never protested when our nation, historically one of the first unified nations on Earth was treated with contempt and even denied its existence, and it was good riddance when a third of them were sent packing in 2010, a pity it was not all of them.

When the country went to the polls to elect a new government in 2010 it was reasonable of us to expect that the influx of new blood would reflect on passed mistakes and would make every effort to right the wrongs and forge in roads into re-uniting a Kingdom that had started to tear itself apart. Although no one party had won an outright victory in the election and we ended up with coalition government it was still our assumption that preserving the Union would be the first priority of such a government, but it seems we were mistaken, and far from trying to unite the nations the policies coming from the coalition is doing the opposite and appears to be designed to tear them further apart. Faced with an economic deficit and debts of crisis proportions caused by the collapse of the banks and failures of the last government, the first priority of any new government would obviously be to balance the books, and what better opportunity could there be for a government wanting to create unity than making everyone of her majesty’s subjects pay their equal share of the debt. This is not happening, and what we are seeing is a continuation of the last governments policies in making an unrecognised England pay far more than its fair share of the debt, and like the last government they ignore England’s cries for a fair and honest hearing in the devolution process while at the same time handing out gifts to Scotland and Wales that encourages their independence. Lies, Lies, more Lies and hypocrisy can only be used to describe a government that spouts rhetoric of unity yet commits actions of separation, none more powerful than the act of allowing Wales to gain further power to make laws of discrimination against the Queen’s subjects in other parts of the United Kingdom, the brunt of which will fall directly on our unrecognised English Nation already reeling from the hypocrisy of a coalition who agree with the discrimination against England’s students, and the discrimination of our sick by the other nations. Anyone of average intelligence and you would expect that would apply to a British MP would know that given a choice a nation will always take the one in which it can decide its own destiny, so why did they act surprised when Scotland voted for the SNP and Wales voted for law making powers for their assembly, Lies, Lies, and more Lies THEY CAN’T BE THAT STUPID.

If the British want the Union to survive they must now start looking for some type of federal or confederal solution before it’s to late, because Wales will eventually follow Scotland down the national path, and we in England are not alone going to be palmed off into taking on their failing British Identity. If this British Government is serious about saving the Union it should drop its intensions of forming separate committees to look for answers that prevent England gaining its identity, and HOL reform, and instead should immediately set up a Select Committee with a view to finding a federal solution to the UK problems.
If that is not forth coming it’s time then for all Unionists to realise that the Union is over, because have no doubt for reasons already given Scotland will vote for independence given the chance, and the fight will then be for an English England or British Britain

Stonecross St. George’s Day West Bromwich 24th April

More than the expected 20,000 people from across the Black Country flocked to West Bromwich to take part in the celebrations to honour England’s patron saint, and for almost two hours the streets around the town became one mass of Red and White as English patriots marched in a parade that stretched almost a third of the route from Westminster Road to Dartmouth Park. Getting people into the mood at the start of the parade was organiser Mark and blind Dave Heeley helped by Baggie Bird and a look alike former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who stood in for the Queen this year because she was busy organising her grandson’s wedding. Leading the parade was the ever loyal Northfield Caledonia band supported in the march by the bands of the England’s Supporters and Walsall Coronets who must be congratulated for their stirling endurance and performances. The number of attractions in Dartmouth Park must have surprised everyone who knew of the problems being met by the organisers even as late as two weeks before the event, and I hope that people show their appreciation by offering their assistance or donating to next years event. The parade ended at the War Memorial in the park in a salute to past patriots before people dispersed to the attractions which included this year, Bouncy Castles, Morris Dancers, a Viking settlement, Scooter display, Pat Collins Fun Fair, besides a variety of Craft stalls and food vans not forgetting our own campaign stand.
Our stand had to be brought all the way up from Salisbury after it had taken pride of place in the local market there on Saturday and thanks have to go to Veronica and John Newman who had very little sleep in order to bring it. The stand was manned by Veronica, John, and the West Midland team of John Stanhope, Julian Asher and Nigel Bromage with appearances from our Chairman Eddie Bone and members Fred Bishop and Tony Trahearn. I am glad to say that at most times throughout the day people were two and three deep and scrambling to put their names down on our supporters lists, so many were they that at one point we had to put out 6 separate sheets to accommodate the queue. All in all in was grand day for a grand occasion and everyone left happy.

Stonecross St.George's Day Parade West Bromwich

The Campaign for an English Parliament is attending the parade again this year and you are invited to come along and meet your local Representatives at the CEP Stand in the park. The one and half mile walk from Stonecross to the park is a lot of fun for everybody so we look forward to seeing you dressed up in your Red and White and waving your flags in celebrating your Englishness, and if the Sun shines so much the better.
Since the council withdrew their funding of the parade some three years ago the organisers are constantly having to overcome obstacles not before experienced,the least not being the necessary requirement of raising thousands of pounds every year to pay for road closers and policing.It is thanks to their efforts throughout the year and their ability to act quickly to changing circumstances that this event which attracts 15,000 to 20,000 people is again able to take place.
If you or any of your family or friends come and join the parade I am asking you to consider making a £1 donation towards the cost, and this can done on their web site
www.stonecrossstgeorge.org or in a £1 coin on the day.
The parade this year takes place on Easter Sunday 24th March and if you can help on the day please ring me 01902630110 ASAP.

The British don't want to give England a public holiday on St. George's Day because it could create a feeling in England of nationhood,which goes against British policy of devolution which is designed to prevent England gaining that political and constitutional recognition, so your celebration of St. George is also your protest against that British injustice.

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.

Have the British made one mistake to many by using April 1st to make fools of the English

You can’t fool all of the people all of the time the saying goes, so have the people of England at last realised on April 1st of all days that the British joker is no fool to be laughed at, and are they at last realising that the joke is on them, not only on April 1st 2011 but on every day since devolution 1998 denied them and their country their political and constitutional existence. Since April 1st England’s Health Service has become the only one in the United Kingdom that will not be giving out free prescriptions, and to compound the joke it is England that is providing the money for the other nations to get theirs free. How can the United Kingdom exist when certain parts have better benefits than the English and the English rights to those benefits are being vetoed by Scottish, Welsh and Irish MPs. The British don’t seem to realise that the future of the United Kingdom is at stake, and nor do they realise that an essential feature of the Union must be equality, or is it ingrained in the British psyche that they think that an English life in all its aspects isn’t worth the same as a Scottish, Welsh or Irish one. The United Kingdom no longer has one NHS, since devolution 1998 the UK now has four health services three of which, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are truly national and are under the control of government ministers and fully funded, while England, the only country without its own parliament is being forced to accept a privatised British Regional Health Service in which patient care depends more on where you live than the severity of the complaint, and has resulted in what is termed a post code lottery. The irony of the situation is that the British MPs who forced this privitisation on England were elected from the nations whose counties had been given their own parliament and they new full well that it would not apply to their own health services. Next time you are ill and take your prescription to the pharmacy to pay £7-40 per item put on the fools cap and stand in the corner, because not only are you paying for something the other nations get free but you will probably be paying for second class generic equivalents too.

It is England’s Forests not British Forests they want to sell

It is surely time that the media respected the distinction between British and English forests (and more generally between Britain and England). Otherwise we shall be led to think that it is engaging in British propaganda. It should be the media’s job to tell the general public when the United Kingdom government is intending to pass a bill that does not effect Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland not to assist it by referring to England only bills has being British bills, or bills for Britain. It should be made clear to the public that the forests the Coalition intend to sell off are England’s forests, and only England’s forests, they are not Britain’s forests or British forests which implies the forest sales would apply across the UnitedKingdom The conduct of the Coalition in respect to the sale of English assets in this case forests is little better than that of the previous Labour government, and together the British political parties simply ignore the manifest will of the people of England, even ignoring their own manifesto pledges. It was certainly not a part of any manifesto presented to the electors of Cannock Chase and South Staffordshire in 2010 that the Cannock Chase forest was going to be put up for sale. In my view the dishonourable behaviour of MPs Aiden Burley and Gavin Williamson in voting for the sale of their own areas greatest asset, and all of the other British Conservative MPs who voted for the Coalitions proposal, proves once and for all that British MPs have no loyalty to England or the English nation; preferring to put their own and their own parties interests before any other, and that applies to all three main political parties. True patriotic MPs should show their loyalty to England by breaking away and forming their own English political party.

England pays the price of being denied its English Identity

It has been some time since I last blogged because I thought the April 2010 one said it all, however I am now so angry with the British over their treatment of England’s University students I am going to start again and this is more than a rant.

England and its citizens are suffering more prejudice and discrimination than citizens in any other part of the United Kingdom because England has no voice. British political parties show more support and less discrimination against those citizens in places like Jersey, Guernsey, and the little isle of Man than they do of those in England, their citizens at least have been given a voice and separate representation in the British / Irish ‘Council of the Isles’ to which England and its citizens are denied. This action by the British and Irish governments amounts to outright racism against the people of England and the English nation, and it is being supported by all of those countries of the UK that attend it. The objective of this British / Irish ‘Council of the Isles’ is to promote the harmonious and mutually beneficial development of the relationships between all of the people of these islands, all it appears except those in England.

The people of England are not only suffering discrimination from the British United Kingdom government, but also from our fellow British citizens in other parts of the United Kingdom. Devolution is allowing the people of England to be discriminated against in varying degrees by citizens of all UK national regions without any recourse, one nation, Scotland, has even been given a parliament that can legally legislate against us. A change in government has not seen a change in attitude, and the present economic climate is a bonus it appears to those Ministers and MPs in the coalition who want to continue England’s destruction and discrimination, as we see the sell off of another icon of our identity, and with it the possibility of the Queen’s Head on our stamps, not to mention England’s forests. The British Coalition government says it believes in the Union yet it is deliberately creating policies that are increasing friction, like making unequal cuts and funding across the regions, and offering more devolution to Scotland and Wales, while ignoring England. It is shocking too that it is not only the Tory, and Liberal Parties, but Labour and the entire British establishment who are party to this increase in devolution, and even more shocking and an insult, that without consulting England the British have agreed to the Welsh referendum in March 2011 that will decide if Wales too wants the same legal right to legislate and discriminate against England and their fellow United Kingdom citizens, while at the same time refusing to answer the West Lothian Question.

If Wales gets its Law making parliament in May, England will be at the mercy of Laws made in the parliaments of the EU, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Channel Isles, Isle of Man, and a UK parliament full of British Racists.

There are no boundaries as far as the British are concerned when it comes to England’s discrimination, its citizens, young and old alike, rich, poor, the dying the sick, they treat all with contempt compared to how the government’s of national regions treat their citizens, besides which they are systematically dismantling England and selling off its icons of identity.




Fight the Fees

At present it is the British Education Policy for England that is taking central focus in the media, and discrimination against England could not be shown more clearly than the injustice that has been metered out to England’s University students. Increases in tuition fees that the British are forcing England’s students to pay compared with fees that the national governments of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are going to ask off theirs and EU students is not only unfair, it is grotesque, in what the British keep telling us is a United Kingdom.

This power of discrimination against England’s students was first felt in the 1999 Scottish government elections, when the abolition of University tuition fees became a major issue in the forming of the Lab / Lib coalition that governed Scotland 1999/2003. The Liberal Party stood by its manifesto pledge and the coalition depended on the Labour Party’s acceptance of the Liberal Policy; a deal which saw the abolition of tuition fees for Scotland’s domiciled students and for students attending Scottish Universities from Europe. A deal however that denied that same privilege to students attending Scottish Universities from other parts of the UK, even those from England whose nation was being forced to subsidise the deal with their taxes. The Liberal Party cry then was and still is “Going to University must be decided on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay” which obviously is now a cry being taken up by all of our national governments, and refers to cheap or free education for their own and European students but as no reference to England’s students, who along with the English nation is helping fund it.


The EU says their students studying in the UK must be treated in the same way as domiciled students are treated in the region that they study, so are entitled to the same discounts and benefits offered by national regional governments. By far the most destructive and discriminating part of EU law on devolution however is the one that came to light in the 1999 Scottish election and the reason why we could not fight England’s discrimination then, and why we can’t now. It is the law of devolution, it gives regional governments the power to discriminate against citizens of other regions within the same State, and it is not being given the full attention it deserves by the media, the full force of which is felt by the English who have No Region, No Defence, and No Voice, and is the reason England must fight tooth and nail to stop any British Government creating and giving the same power to regions in whatever disguise they take within England’s borders, or the English Nation will tear itself apart.


I hope English students can create enough noise to make England’s sleeping nation wake up and realise its discrimination in all areas and not just education, though violence of any sort cannot be condoned. With the outstanding debt of the British state there maybe justifiable reasons to ask students to subsidise their own education, but if we still have a United Kingdom then every student/citizen of it should be made to contribute to the debt equally. Instead, the British are using England’s unrecognised Nation to subsidise the contributions being made by our fellow citizens in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and also those coming here from the European Union, and no matter how much the British Government or the EU tries to convince us otherwise, their devolution policies are not fair, are racially motivated and are against human rights and should not happen in what they keep telling us is a United Kingdom.

Summary

England’s students pay £3290 now but are being made to meet the full cost of their University tuition fees from 2012 because of British cuts to England’s funding. Students will then pay between £6000 and £9000 a year for a 3year degree course at any University in England, which if you add on living costs arrives at a figure between £40,000 and £50,000 for the 3 year course at a minimum. The British Government allows England’s students a loan but are reducing its size, and it appears the low fixed rate of interest they now pay on it could be removed and opened up to market forces increasing its cost, besides which the government grant EMA is being removed. The student does not have to pay the tuition fees up front and the loan does not have to be paid back until the student is earning £21,000 at which point they start paying back 9% of their earnings; the loan taking an average student an estimated 30years to pay off. European students pay the same fees as England’s students if they study at England’s Universities, unless they or their parents have lived for the 3 years previously in either Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, when instead they will pay the fees decided by the respective governments of the nation lived in, EU students can even get extra help if they have lived for 3years in the Channel Isles or the Isle of Man. It is also a fact that even now before the rise in tuition fees takes effect that less than a third of EU students have been paying back their fees, which beggars the question of whether the British are a willing partner in subsidising these EU students at English Universities.

Fees to be paid by Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish, and EU students living in those countries are still under revision, also under revision are the fees that these countries are going to charge England’s students that attend their Universities, but;

Scotland’s domiciled Scottish students do not pay top up fees at any UK University now and are not expected to pay any after the revision and they also get a better deal on living costs. EU students with the 3year qualification qualify for the same benefits the domiciled Scots get now and it is debatable whether they can be charged any differently after the revision?
English/Welsh/NI students attending Scottish Universities after revision are expected to be charged the same fees that the British charge English students in England, to stop the exodus from England for cheaper fees.
Only England’s students are guaranteed to be forced to pay the full fees in Scotland however, because the Welsh and Northern Irish governments have given a guarantee of funding to their students to keep their fees at the £3290 a year they pay now.

Welsh domiciled students studying at Universities in Wales and EU students with the 3year qualification pay £3290 a year now but get a grant of £1890 towards it off the government, fees are not expected to change after the revision. Tuition fees for English/Scottish and N. Irish students attending Welsh Universities are expected to rise after the revision to meet those set by the British for England, for the reasons given above. It will only be the English however who pay the full fee because the Scots pay nothing and the N. Irish government have given the guarantee that their students will not pay more than the £3290 they pay now.

I have just been shown page six of today’s SUN newspaper, Wednesday 29th December 2010 and it should go down in history, and it just about sums up what these British Racists think of the people of England. David Willetts the Minister for England’s University Education says the Coalition Government is going to subsidise the tuition fees and living costs of England’s University students, but only for those children of service personnel killed in action, in other words the British expect the English to give their lives for what others get for doing nothing, unbelievable.


Unless England becomes a national region within the United Kingdom and Europe with its own English Parliament, Brussels will continue to recognise England to be a Britain, the part left over from British devolution in 1998, and will leave England, its people, its culture, and its assets to the mercy of a British government that is denying the English Nation its political and constitutional existence, and to any other United Kingdom nation that wants to discriminate against it.

Devolution 1998 – England’s war of 1066 proportions

Devolution forced on the UK by Europe’s regional policies saw the British because of Scottish influence adopt a system of devolution that regionalised the United Kingdom along national boundaries. It was obvious that any devolution that gave political and constitutional recognition along national lines would strengthen a nation’s individual national identity and weaken the British State, so to protect the British identity devolution 1998 denied the English Nation and England itself any political or constitutional recognition.

Pulling out of the EU and abandoning their regional policies or creating a new British federal state, are not options the British are considering. Yet!

After being subdued by a British Government for centuries the Scottish fortunes have now been turned around, and Scotland with its own parliament is now in a much stronger position to gain concessions off the British to prevent the country seeking independence. The British are already showing they are open to this bribery with the most obvious being their refusal to make changes to the Barnet funding formula that gives Scotland £12 billion a year more than England, and the bailing out of Scottish banks which they have promised England will take the brunt of paying for. Just how far the British are prepared to go in this direction could be seen to depend on how long the people of England are going to stand by and let this bribery continue.

By adopting an asymmetrical form of devolution that gave political and constitutional recognition to all UK countries except England, the British have retained the power to manipulate English Domestic policies to their own advantage. The British are using this power to reinforce their identity on the people of England and we are seeing a forceful encouragement of Britishness that wants to break up our country into regions to stop us gaining that unitary political existence and nationhood.







This is England Today


Since 1998 the English have been the only nation in the United Kingdom without a National Parliament and the only nation not able to defend and protect itself against ‘British’ Domestic and EU Polices, giving British Nationalists a free hand to destroy England’s unity and culture by allowing them to break up England into their 9 multicultural ‘British’ Regions, and apply EU laws with impunity.

Since 1998 England has been marginalised by devolution, constitutionally, politically, financially, economically and culturally.

By virtue of their national institutions Scotland and Wales have a distinct and separate political, constitutional existence and nationhood, England however does not constitutionally exist and is being denied its nationhood.

The Devolution Acts of 1998 revoked the Act of Union, revoked the concept of one British Nation with one legislative body of government, and revoked the principle of representative democracy. It unbalanced the Union by placing England, Scotland and Wales each in a different relationship with the Union and each other, and it institutionalised discrimination against the people of England.

The Devolution Acts of 1998 abolished representative democracy as the untouchable 1st principle of government. By what is understood to be the West Lothian issue, British MPs elected in Scotland can be both ministers and legislators,even Prime
Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer and Home Secretary in English matters without being answerable in elections for their actions in those matters to ‘any electorate’ either in Scotland or England.

England is being broken up into British Regions and is losing its unitary existence to the disadvantage of the English Nation to whom it denies nationhood and political representation. British nationalists claim that England does not need any separate representation because they say the interests of England are best served by its British MPs; this is an untruth as they could have said the same about the interests of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and there would have been no need for the Devolution Acts of 1998 and the UK could have remained with one united parliament.

It is impossible to see how England can be best served by its British MPs when you consider how the British political system works. The United Kingdom Parliament’s House of Commons is not divided up into four national sectors with British MPs sitting in the sector of the country that elected them, the house divides on party political lines, the government on one side and the opposition on the other. What this means is that England’s elected representative British MPs are always divided and are always under the control of their separate political party whips, and who has ever seen or will see, or can imagine Labour and Conservative MPs sitting in English constituency seats defying their party whips to the extent of combining to defeat and bring down their own respective governments.

With England’s political and constitutional recognition England could decide its own form of local government and would be able to take over the work performed by the regions in the EU, providing England with a stronger unified voice and force than the individual regions in applying for EU structural funds. Currently the regions apply separately for funds and are therefore in direct competition with one another. With London and the South East undoubtedly able to shout the loudest the poorer regions such as those in the North are always in danger of losing out; an English Parliament would therefore not only be a stronger lobbying force in the UK and in the EU but it would be better placed to distribute the funds more evenly across England.

There is nothing to stop an English Parliament from deciding on a regional form of local government, the difference between an English Parliament deciding on the option and a UK British Parliament deciding, is that the first option rightly gives
England and its nation their political and constitutional recognition and the second deny it, disproving again British Nationalist claims that their MPs elected from English constituencies act in England’s best interests.

England is further disenfranchised in representation in the House of Lords, in which members from other countries in the UK and abroad, unaccountable to the English electorate, are able to revise and modify laws that only apply to England, when they can not do so for Scotland and Northern Ireland.

‘The British / Irish Council’ known as the ‘Council of the Isles’ which
promotes the harmonious and mutually beneficial development of the totality of relationships among the peoples of these islands, ( British gibberish) which has representatives from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Jersey, Guernsey and even the Isle of Man, is not allowed an independent representative from England.

Since Labours Devolution Acts of 1998 and their subsequent immigration policies, which included signing up to an EU open border policy, our country has been inundated with people from Europe’s 450 million inhabitants and England our homeland is no longer our own, and with each nation in the EU retaining power over its own citizenship a rogue nation could invite the world's population to our doorstep. By denying England its political and constitutional identity the nation is also being denied its ability to protect its own assets and culture, and the British are exploiting this situation by selling assets that would sustain England’s identity and are fostering a British Multiculturism on England that is encouraging the rise of alien cultures at its nation’s expense.

Compare this with the nations of Scotland and Wales who have recognition and have a parliament with responsibility for their own nation’s education and training programs. While British Multiculturism on England is based around a false premise of Britishness, and encourages cohesion from the outside by downplaying England’s identity, the Scots and Welsh are able to do the opposite and are encouraging cohesion from the inside. Through the school curriculum all children in Scotland and Wales are now being reared and educated to have strong Scottish and Welsh national identities and knowledge of their own individual Scottish and Welsh history and heritage. The British have also given each country a separate TV channel to help them regenerate their old languages, and the Welsh language is now being taught in the schools of Wales. The British have also allowed these nations similar ‘Sports and Art’ programs backed up by other separate television channels, a BBC Scotland, BBC Wales and a BBC Northern Ireland, and they have the added bonus of separate tourist boards who promote their own distinct Scottish and Welsh cultures.

While British Multiculturism is always demoting, a Scottish and Welsh Multiculturism is always promoting, and an obvious difference between the two was seen in the celebrations after the recent Olympic Games. England having won more Gold Medals in this Olympic Games than it had in its entire history in the competition, not only saw its winners denied their English identity in the media, but also saw their entire nation denied separate celebrations by the British on their return. Scottish and Welsh competitors on the other hand were applauded by the media and their nation status made headline news each time a medal came their way. Consider the difference too when the Scottish and Welsh competitors returned home, each nation held their own separate celebrations in Edinburgh and Cardiff with the added bonus of also being allowed to participate in the separate British celebrations in London.

Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are also allowed to promote their own separate identities and culture through labelling, especially food items, a lot of which now sport their national flags. Controversially in England, the ‘Dairy Crest’ company re-branded their ‘English Country Life Butter’ ‘British Country Life Butter’ with British government approval when the French recently acquired the brand outright.

Out of a grand total of 549 British MPs sent to the UK Parliament to represent the interests of the people of England, only 34 of them voted in favour of an EDM that called for England’s St. George to be honoured with a national day’s holiday, yet they knew they had already allowed Scotland a national holiday for St. Andrew’s Day.

Only in England is a false history of a multicultural Britishness being used to deny the people and their children their heritage. Only in England is its nation having obstacles put in its way to prevent its recognition and existence, and only on England are the British pursuing a vigorous policy of Multiculturism that is amounting to the cultural genocide of its standing nation with the introduction of their new licensing laws, health and safety regulations, public order offences, liability insurance requirements,and their political correctness and human rights policies.

Constitutional and political recognition for England would see British Multiculturism replaced with an English Multiculturism like that of Scotland and Wales that could encourage and promote England’s national identity to engage all from the inside, allowing all the people of England with a British qualification to identify with the country in which they live, the very essence of which would unite England’s people under one banner like is happening in Scotland and Wales, and an English Parliament would be the centre of gravity around which all could work together to carve out a new English identity. Britishness would then be promoted throughout the UK in its true category as the requirements and responsibilities of state citizenship.

Devolution 1998 the cause of the UK’s instability was the result of pressure being put on British Nationalists in the UK Parliament by a disillusioned Scotland and a UK Parliament that wanted to comply with the European Union’s Regional Policies that demanded it. If the devolutionary powers given to Scotland had been given to England, the simplest way to avoid a constitutional controversy, England would have received the same powers over its own domestic policies as those listed below and the UK would have held onto reserved issues.

Under the Scotland Act 1998, the Scottish Parliament can make primary and secondary legislation in Areas not reserved to Westminster or protected from modification.

* Health * Local Government * Social Work
* Education and Training * Housing * Planning
* Tourism * Economic development and financial assistance to industry
* Some aspects of transport, the Scottish road network, bus policy and ports and harbours
* Law and home affairs, inc. most aspects of criminal and civil law, the prosecution system and the courts
* The Police and Fire Services * Natural and Built Heritage * Sports and the Arts
* The Environment * Agriculture, forestry and Fishing
* Statistics, public registers and records

Other Advantages gained by the Devolved Nations

* MPs in their own parliament and separate MPs of their own at Westminster
* A Secretary of State in the Cabinet
* A Grand Committee made up of all of their MPs
* Their own Select Committee at Westminster to deal with their own affairs
* They can speak up for their own nations in Europe and help shape UK- EU policy
* Have the benefit of Statutory Instruments (UK laws) to be studied by their own institution
* The Scottish and Welsh Development agencies deal direct with their own executives so can tailor things on a national rather than a regional basis
* Although the devolved nations MPs at Westminster have had their workload drastically reduced they have had no pay cut (99% of constituent’s problems now being dealt with by their own parliamentary MSPs)

Similar powers have been given to Wales with the only exception being it has yet to be given jurisdiction over Primary Legislation.

You don’t have to be the brain of Britain to realise that when the UK’s British Government talks about any of the above institutions, appoints Ministers over them, and passes laws on them, that what they say and do can only apply to England, yet the media are aiding and abetting the government by not making this clear to the English general public.

UK Parliament controlled ‘Reserved Responsibilities’

* The Constitution * Defence and national security * Fiscal, economic and monetary system
* Trade and Industry, including competition and customer protection
* Transport (not particular to Scotland) including railways, transport safety and regulation
* Social Security * Employment * Equal opportunities
* Medical ethics: abortion; human fertilisation and embryology; genetics; xenotransplantation and vivi section
* Broadcasting * the Civil Service * Immigration and Nationality
* Foreign Affairs * Energy: electricity, coal, gas, nuclear energy


You don’t have to be the brain of Britain either to realise that the UK Parliament’s ‘Reserved Responsibilities’ and their sovereign powers are wanted and are gradually being surrendered by the British to the EU. Giving up your sovereign rights means you are handing over the supreme and indisputable power to rule on those rights to the EU, and how far the British are prepared to go down that path depends on the whims of which political party is in power in the UK Parliament, and not its UK subjects who are being denied a referendum on the issue. If the
EU gains enough power the UK will be at its mercy, England therefore needs its political and constitutional recognition now before that point is reached in order to defend itself against British MPs who have proved themselves unworthy of our trust, and have shown that they are prepared to put their own interests and those of their party before England’s.

Looking at the UK list of powers devolved to Scotland and Wales, by far the most important thing every person living in England should be aware of and realise, is that the list is a list of national powers, powers given to the national parliaments of Scotland and Wales who appoint their own ministers over them, they are national institutions.

While Scotland and Wales have national institutions and can control their own policies nationally across all of their country England can not because England has no unitary existence. If we look at the health services we see that England is heading in the direction of privatisation by being subjected to a Health Service that is not a National Health Service in the sense of the word at all, but a British based regional system of Primary Care Trusts and Foundation Hospitals. Half of English hospitals are already out of Ministerial control and it is said all will be by 2012; we must not forget that this situation has been forced on England by Scotland’s elected British MPs against the wishes of those British MPs representing England after rejecting the system for their own Scottish nation. It must not be forgotten that it is these Scottish MPs that destroyed the English National Health Service and forced it into the regional based British Health Service we have now.

England’s regional based Foundation hospitals have been given huge sums of tax payer’s money by the British and conduct their own affairs free of British interference and are allowed to adopt differing policies and priorities in order to meet British set targets. They are run like businesses and are free to use the market as they see fit which is creating huge differences of care across England known as the post code lottery, which wouldn’t happen in a national based system. We are even seeing some of these hospitals paying for and building their own hospitals in other countries, outside of the EU too, and it is also being reported that they are selling first class drugs intended for English patients abroad for profit, while English patients go short or receive the cheaper options.

The NHS of Scotland and Wales provides equality of care for all of their people regardless of what part of their country people live in, and care is not dependent on a post code lottery; their hospitals do not have the same restraints put on them as those in England have because they are all under ministerial control and subsidised by the English tax payer. Besides receiving a huge grant from the British Government to run their own affairs the National Parliaments also get additional payments every year made to them because the funding formula called Barnet is based on England’s expenditure, in Scotland’s case alone this formula lets the British give Scotland an extra £12 billion per year more than they give England, which they use to bolster their own welfare system.

A National Parliament’s first priority is to the nation it serves and Scottish and Welsh national achievements since devolution are things England can only dream about and some are listed below.

*Free Prescription charges
*Free Eye Tests
*Free Dental Check Ups and reduced charges
*Free personal Care in Residential Homes - even if their people cross the border into England
*Free School Milk - Better school meals being provided because they are given double England’s subsidy
* The seriously ill are able to receive drugs that are denied to English patients even if their patients are in an English hospital
*Trainee nurses are kept on an extra year after qualification so that they have the necessary experience to get jobs in the private sector should there be no jobs in their NHS
*No Hospital Car Parking Charges
*No Wheel Clamping allowed anywhere in the country
*A fully funded Air Ambulance Service
*No Bridge tolls
*Higher wages to teachers and smaller class sizes in schools
*Their own Students in Universities have fees waived until they are earning over £25,000 per year and no top up fees are paid. (English Students pay £3000/year + in top up fees and leave with debts of £20,000)
*Council Tax frozen 2008, 2009, and probably 2010 has only risen 40% since 1997 (England’s council tax has risen 100% over the same period and increases every year)
*Every young woman between the ages of 20 and 25 is invited for a cervical smear test - in England you have to be 25, by then it is too late for any girl unfortunate enough to get it at a younger age like Jade Goody did.

Continuing on the list we can see that the British recognised nations have responsibility for their own housing, planning, and environmental policies, the British can’t force their ECO Towns on Scotland or Wales, or force the extension of airports which they are able to force onto England. Their own Agriculture and Fisheries departments are seeing national governments make sure their farmers get their subsidies on time while the British keep English farmers waiting, some in the mean time going bankrupt, and the Scottish Fisheries Dept has already made a cut in English fishing quotas along the East Coast. The list goes on, and in every dept the nations are able to protect their people from the sufferance of the British Domestic policies that can be forced onto England; from ID Cards, to Road Pricing to bin collections, to council tax, to CTV surveillance and speed cameras, the national parliaments decide for themselves what is best for their people and do not have to accept the wishes of the British Government, and invariably do not.

The Barnet Formula mentioned previously is the mechanism that determines the allocation of resources throughout the United Kingdom and has been in place since the 1970s. It is the formula that decides the size of the Block Grants given to the devolved nations and it is based upon England’s expenditure. It was supposed to be “a convergence formula” based on population based changes, but in practice this has not proved to be the case. Government figures show that instead of converging the opposite is happening, and it is clear that the spending per head of population in England is continually lower to that of the devolved nations and the gap is actually widening.

In 2008 spending in England per head of population was £7,121. In Wales it was £8,139 (14% more), in Scotland £8,623 (21% more) and in Northern Ireland £9,385 (32% more) new figures for 2009 England £7535, Scot £9179 Scots get £1644 more. Since the Scottish Parliament was created in 1998 public spending has outstripped tax generated there by 45%, and in addition Scotland’s two flagship banks, HBOS and RBS have been bailed out by the tax payer.

Basically, every extra pound spent by the UK British Government on England projects automatically triggers an additional 10.66% payout to Scotland, a 6.02% payout to Wales and a 2.87% payout to Northern Ireland. So, for example, this means that any capital projects taking place in England are automatically made a total of 19.55% more expensive, because they instantly trigger extra Barnett Formula funding. This is why the proposed Cross Rail project in England means a financial bonanza in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and it has been estimated that Scotland alone will receive an extra £500 million pounds. Of course, this is a one-way process, capital projects elsewhere in the UK do not result in a single penny of extra funding for England.

But that is not all, when “uniform” adjustments, are made across treasury departments, for example Health, the same increase when applied to an already larger per capita budget naturally results in an even larger additional payout. In theory, these adjustments can be decreases as well as increases, but of course in practice this doesn’t happen.
For example, one of Gordon Brown’s last actions as Chancellor of the Exchequer was to slash England’s British Health Service capital budget by a third, £2.1 billion taken away from the English whilst the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish budgets remained untouched, and of course, any steps taken to return the money to England’s British Health Service will trigger automatic payouts to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The ‘£3000 top-up’ student tuition fees in England are also counted as additional English public expenditure, (because the extra income is spent by our universities). So by putting the burden of tuition fees on English students British MPs triggered a payout to the nations under the Barnett Formula, helping the nations to give their students free tuition.

The Barnett Formula also ensures that the rest of the UK benefits when England receives European Union (EU) funds. This is because the Treasury regards EU funding as UK expenditure, based on the argument that the UK is a net contributor to the EU and therefore EU grants are just money from the UK taxpayer. A large increase in EU funding to England is reflected in the Department Expenditure Limits (DELs) of the relevant English departments. DELs not only set limits on spending but also determine the assigned budget of the devolved nations in conjunction with the Barnett Formula. Therefore, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will receive extra funding from the UK Treasury, even though the intention of the EU was to meet the particular needs of England.

The Barnett Formula isn’t just fuelling resentment in England; it is also funding separation in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Because unequal, asymmetric devolution that deliberately ignores England’s constitutional and political existence is all about separation.

The Barnett Formula itself is expressively based upon nationality, not need. It is specifically and openly all about handing over money to the nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – money taken in taxes from England.
The argument that these taxes are UK taxes doesn’t hold water. More money is spent in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland than is raised in taxes. The shortfall is made up in England and so it is English taxpayers who pay for the superior services elsewhere.

It is true that rural areas are more expensive to provide services to. But most of Scotland’s population lives in the Central Belt, which can hardly be described as “rural.” Glasgow alone has 40% of the Scottish population, and whereas there is an argument to be made for Wales being a poorer area of the UK and thus needing more funding, this cannot apply to Scotland which is recognised as being the third richest of the 12 EU regions.

Why should taxes on the low-paid in places in the North East of England go to support Edinburgh millionaires? The people of the North East are on average 13% poorer than the people of Scotland, but despite this they receive less government spending. Remember, Joel Barnett who devised the funding formula has said recently it was never intended to be the long term answer, and contradicted Gordon Brown by stressing that it was a population based formula not one based on need, that had run its course and was now grossly unfair to England.

This Barnet Formula will not be changed while England has no constitutional and political existence and England will continue to take the brunt of taxes to pay for British incompetence because of the aggressive nature of British Nationalism.

We have recently had a General Election and nothing changes as we hear the Con/Dem British Nationalist parties of Tory and Liberal continuing to trumpet their support for Scotland and have promised even in the midst of the UK’s Billions of debt that there will be no reduction in their nations funding in the short term; it’s England then that is going to take the brunt of cuts in public expenditure and be subjected to British revenue raising budgets.

England’s troubles began in 1997 when a gang of Scottish conspirators and Europhiles were supported by a United Kingdom Prime Minister backed by English elected British MPs who were prepared to sacrifice England and the English Nation that elected them for the glorification of Scotland and their New Labour Party. Tony Blair was the Prime Minister and Gordon Brown headed the long list of conspirators that included Charles Kennedy the then leader of the Liberal Party, Menzies Campbell his successor, and such people as the disgraced speaker Michael Martin and George Galloway amongst them, who had signed an oath in 1989 known as ‘The Scottish Claim of Right’ swearing to put the interests of Scotland before that of any other nation, and in doing so forced UK’s 1998 Devolution.

From this day British MPs elected from English constituencies can not be trusted to put England’s interests before that of their party.

The West Lothian Question

Why should MPs elected by the countries of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland into the British UK Parliament be allowed to debate and vote on policies that only apply to England, when British MPs elected by England to the UK Parliament can not debate and vote on policies that only apply to their countries.

The result of their interference in English legislation has already resulted in England being forced down the road of NHS privatisation with Foundation Hospitals, and also forced our University students to pay Top Up fees, and most recently influenced the stopping of trials by Jury for certain offences.

The English Question

Who rules England – Why should British MPs elected in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland be allowed to be head of English only departments deciding English Domestic Policies when they can not force those same policies onto their own nations that elected them, and one as even made himself Prime Minister.
-----------------------------------------------

England and Englishness are something to be positively proud about. It is the right of the people of England to have their own distinct particular English national identity acknowledged within the UK and the EU as those of Scotland and Wales have been acknowledged in the 1998 Devolution legislation.

The British do not wish to recognise England and Englishness because it gives them a problem with their identity and reduces their power, so they are trying to solve it by supplanting the name Britain for England and forcing an invented indigenous British multi-cultural identity onto the English Nation.
