The English hating British want to field a football team carrying the UK/GB banner in the 2012 Olympics here in London. Sounds fine, but they know full well that the only nation stupid enough and likely to agree to this is the English nation. Even before serious discussions of the implications have taken place, we have David Beckham, overwhelmed by a ride on a London bus in China, claiming he wants to coach the GB team, and we hear talk of an offer being made to the Scottish manager of Manchester United.
When the British want to start interfering into the last bastion of our English identity (sport) we must have our wits about us.
Lest we forget
The Campaign for an English Parliament (CEP) is fighting for the political and constitutional identity of England and the English nation, and it has only been a short while, 2003/2005, that we fought for the recognition of an England team in the “Tour of Britain Cycle Race” For those who have forgotten or are not familiar with the episode I will explain. A team England was denied entry into this race unless it accepted the GB identity although the rules had been bent to allow separate teams from Scotland, Wales, and Ireland entrance. Not only did England have to register under the GB name but the competitors were not allowed to put down their English identity on the team sheet. It should also be noted for those unfamiliar with the British Isles that Scotland was not, and never has been a part of Britain, which itself has not existed since Roman times, and only then included the countries of England and Wales, so Scotland should not have taken preference over our country England that was. Scotland is a part of Greater Britain and put the Great into the Great Britain identity when it joined the union in 1707 and it would have been fitting if it had been made to enter as the team GBR. Another reason for including an England team should have been because of the funding, provided again as always by the English tax payer. Further contempt for the English nation was shown when a Scottish minister, seeing the economic benefits of the race had it re-routed the next year to include a part of Scotland.
England had a very strong case for its identity to be recognised, but unfortunately the tour was then altered in such a way that all the home nations were denied entrance.
In 2008 however, G. Brown's Britishness call has been rewarded with a single GB entry, but again the English team members are not allowed to register an English Identity on the team sheet. If you plan to watch any of this race wave the English Cross of St. George and show your disgust.
ENGLAND MUST NOT BE FOOLED INTO TAKING ON THE GB IDENTITY ALONE AGAIN

TaxPayers' Alliance Bulletin - 8th August 2008
Structure of Government 3:The case for abolishing the Regional Development Agencies
The latest paper in the Structure of Government series, published today, demonstrates conclusively that the Regional Development Agencies have contributed nothing to the economic development of England's regions, despite costing taxpayers billions. Using detailed and comprehensive analysis of regional economic development over the last fifteen years, the report shows that in almost every measure their allotted regions performed better in the seven years before the Agencies were established than in the years since they were set up. The £15.3 billion spent on RDAs since 1999 has been wasted, and the report shows that their budget of £2.19 billion a year could be much better spent providing a 4 pence cut in the small business rate of Corporation Tax, which would offer a genuine economic shot in the arm to the regional economies. As well as a damning indictment of a failed regional policy, the report exposes the lack of accountability and transparency that riddle a government structure that is both impossibly complex and overly reliant on unaccountable quangos.You can read the full report here.
We're pleased to report that the case to abolish the RDAs has had exceptionally good coverage in the media and a great response from taxpayers across the country. Here is the media run-down:
BBC Radio 4: Today Programme: The TPA's Mark Wallace debated RDAs with the Chief Executive of the North West Development Agency (Click to listen - scroll forward to 53 minutes)Financial Times: £15bn spent on regions 'has been thrown away' Daily Mail: £15bn gravy train Daily Telegraph: Regional agencies labelled a £15bn failure Daily Express: £15bn "wasted" on Labour's quangos BBC News Online: Agencies branded 'waste of money' Telegraph.co.uk: Matthew Elliott: Regional Development Agencies should be abolished
Politics.co.uk: Govt shedding £15 billion on regional development agencies Teletext: Agencies 'a waste of money' Newcastle Journal: Scrap agency call Huddersfield Examiner: '£15bn wasted' LaunchLab.co.uk: Scrap RDAs and slash small business tax, ministers urged Lancashire Evening Post: Call to scrap £482m quango Management Today: RDAs: a waste of £15bn? Lancashire Telegraph: Lancashire regeneration agency boss hits back at 'failed quango' claim
Birmingham Post: Billions were squandered on Regional Development Birmingham Post: Plans to boost power of RDAs no cause for joy
Western Morning News: What a waste of our money! Evening Gazette: Agencies ‘a waste’ Express & Star: £15bn ‘waste’ claim as agencies blasted Southern Daily Echo: SEEDA branded a waste of money Public Servant: Report calls RDAs a 'resounding failure' Brighton Argus: Taxpayers’ group claims Seeda is huge waste of money Manchester Evening News: Taxpayers' watchdog slams £15bn 'waste' Liverpool Daily Post: We've helped NW economy to thrive - Broomhead hits back at NWDA critics Local Government Chronicle: RDAs: '£15bn thrown away' 24dash.com: Regional Development Agencies 'a waste of taxpayers' money' Property Week News: Call to scrap RDAs Northern Echo: Agencies are under fire for ‘wasting taxpayers’ money’ Essex Echo: Regeneration agency costs £600 per home
TPA spokesmen have also appeared on BBC Breakfast News and numerous local radio stations today, and the large number of new supporters who have joined up shows that the report has landed a heavy blow on these wasteful bodies and highlighted the woeful disorganisation of British Government.
You can help to get the RDAs abolished
To keep the pressure up on the RDAs it would be great if you could write to your local paper on the issue to follow up the initial media splash.
There is a lot of information in the report itself, along with various examples of waste and a full RDA rich list for you to draw on for facts. Here are a few key points you might want to highlight:
RDAs have failed to improve performance in new jobs, employment rates or attracting new businesses
Outside of London and the South East, growth was faster before RDAs were established
RDAs have cost each household £600 since their formation and the evidence shows we aren't getting value for money
Scrapping RDAs could cut small business corporation tax by 4%, which would be a far better motor for growth and job creation

THE BBC IS NOW THE LEADING PLAYER IN BRITISH RACISM
The BBC's bias against England exposed by its own coverage of the Olympics
In its CEEFAX August 19th bulletin the BBC described Chris Hoy the triple gold medalist as 'the Scot'. On one occasion as 'the flying Scotsman’. However, it described Victoria Pendleton the triumphant women's sprint cyclist Olympic champion from Bedfordshire and Christine Ohuruogo the 400 metre gold medalist from London as 'Britons', not once as English. In the first week of the Games both BBC reporters and BBC CEEFAX described Nicole Cook who took the first gold medal for the British team as Welsh, even as 'the Welsh Princess' but Rebecca Adlington who achieved two gold medals in swimming only as 'British', never English.' 'What we are witnessing, and consistently witnessing is BBC bias against England and the English people. The BBC will do all it can not to bring attention to the national identity of English people. The BBC is acting very politically. Its refusal to have a BBC England and substituting nine regional broadcasting units for England is political. It regards acknowledgement of England's distinct identity as a threat to the existence of the United Kingdom. It is not a threat. And the BBC has no right within its charter to act in such a pronounced political manner. The BBC has organised itself as a broadcaster into 'nations and regions'. The 'nations' are Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the distinct national identity of which it recognises and promotes. It refuses to recognise England as a nation. It treats England as nine regions. It will not recognise our distinct English identity. All this is political.' 'The BBC should not discriminate against England. It should not act politically. It should report impartially and fairly. If in reporting on TeamGB it makes mention of the specific national identity of Welsh and Scottish athletes, it should make mention likewise of the English identity of English athletes.'

Crew & Nantwich by election
Cock-a-hoop after defeating a party on the brink of meltdown in the Crew & Nantwich by election, David Cameron sees fit to announce almost instantaneously that he does not want to be Prime Minister of England. Well we have news for him too; we don’t want him to be Prime Minister of England either. The English are fed up being governed by parties that have been infiltrated by British Racists and traitors that by pass decency and democracy, and replace it with hypocrisy, bigotry, and deceit. The English want their own Prime Minister in their own separately elected English Parliament, with their own elected MP’s, who will represent them like Alec Salmond and the MSP’s represent Scotland, and are solely there to look after England’s interests not those of the Union.

MARATHON MAN
Blind Black Country Englishman Dave Heeley and his sighted guide Malcolm (mad Mac) Carr, running in support of the charity “Guide Dogs for the Blind” completed a record breaking challenge of running 7 marathons across 7 continents in 7 days, and the feat hardly gets a mention in the British media.
The seven Magnificent Marathons challenge began on the Falkland Islands Mount Pleasant on the 7th April, and then their travels took them to Rio de Janeiro, Los Angeles, Sydney and Dubai, Tunis, and London.
The 50 year old Englishman and his 44 year old guide covered a total of 183.4 miles, around 26.2 miles in each continent, inspired, Dave said, by his three guide dogs, Peter, Carla and his present dog Wicksie who have given him life changing independence.
The pair arrived back at Sandwell and Dudley station to be greeted by an adoring crowd, with a welcoming committee including the mayor of Sandwell Gurcharan Sing Sidhu, Albion legend Tony “Bomber” Brown and Jeff Astle’s widow Laraine. Scores of pupils from his old school serenaded him with a performance of “Keep on Running” and entertained the crowd with a dance routine, and the mayor congratulated the pair on their tremendous achievement and presented them with specially engraved crystal rose bowls.
Dave and Mac then enjoyed celebrity treatment by being paraded around the town and streets of West Bromwich in an open top bus. People of all ages in their thousands lined the route to his home, shoppers and workers poured onto the streets shouting and cheering, while motorists beeped their horns in congratulations.
The “Campaign for an English Parliament” fighting for the constitutional and political identity of England and the English, would like to congratulate both Dave and Mac on their achievement and would also like to thank the Express & Star newspaper for their two page coverage.
If England and the English identity had been recognised with an English Parliament this achievement would have been given headline coverage on national Television.
After such a showing of English pride both at Dave’s and Mac’s homecoming and the subsequent support for the Black Country St. George’s Day parade by Sandwell council, which was again attended by thousands. It seems ironic that the council are allowing the start of Gordon Brown’s flagship “Who Do We Think We Are” Britishness schools programme to come onto our doorstep and onto Dave’s children.
The Sandwell Rewind Project manager Dave Allport says on their site that his rewind project is a reaction to Far Right influences on young people and also negative attitudes from professional staff around issues of race and identity. I do not agree and I say it is about denying the children of England their birthright and their identity.
They can’t ask this question in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland because these countries have their own parliaments, and education is devolved, their children are being taught and educated to believe they are Scottish, Welsh or Irish and their school curriculum’s are based around their individual identities.
We can save the British time and money
WE IN THE BLACK COUNTRY and our children DON’T THINK WE KNOW WHO WE ARE
WE DO KNOW WHO WE ARE
WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND AND ENGLAND'S CHILDREN
WE ARE THE ENGLISH

St. George and the Dragon
The truth behind English folklore.
There probably isn't an English, man, women, or child in the country who has not heard of the legend of St. George. His slaying of a fire breathing Dragon, and the rescuing of a maiden from a Dragon's castle are probably also known the world over, yet how many actually know the truth behind the myth.
For the truth we have to look at Wales and to how that country became and still is today a pricipality of England. For it is they the Welsh Dragons that we are concerned with here and led to the legends of England's St.George.
Dragons have been around in British folklore for centuries perhaps even in Roman times, but Britain's Dragon legends were created in the middle ages at the time when English and Welsh hostilities were coming to a head. The Welsh have always had a fascination with Dragons, and their warrior leaders were often given the name Dragon, their facination even extended to the point of giving their mythical King Arthur the name Pendragon and their nation eventually having adopted a picture of a Dragon on their national flag.
Story tellers of the time helped in creating the myth by depicting these Welsh leaders as fiery Dragons, and only the mention of a Dragon instilled fear in the peasants’ of the time. Dragons started appearing all over England as landlords used this fear to stop peasants from wandering off and not working on their land, agreeing to provide them with protection and security.
The Welsh Dragons operated in the border Marcher counties of Cheshire, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire which were known as the Dragon haunted lands. These Welsh Dragons would cross over the English border to rape and pillage English villages, and when they left they would set them on fire, the smoke from which could be seen for miles around and said to be the breath of the Dragon.
One such Dragon called Llewelyn, was a Prince of Wales who had desires above his station. After gaining support in part of Glamorgan he had intentions on marrying Elinor the daughter of the powerful English lord Simon de Montfort without the English Kings consent. The new English King, Edward (1st) believed the prince (Dragon) was seeking to stir up another barons’ war in England, and in 1275 he sent English forces into Wales and freed Elinor from the Prince's (Dragon's) castle to prevent the wedding.
Eventually the English King got fed up with the Welsh Dragons incursions into England and he gathered an army to bring them under English control.
When the English and their supporters joined together to fight a common cause they did so under the flag of St.George, and the army became known as that of St George. Any battles won were then said to have been won by St.George.
The two pictures most commonly seen of St. George and the Dragon represent the defeat of the Welsh ( St. George slaying fire breathing Dragon) and the rescuing of the Simon de Montfort's daughter from a Welsh castle. ( St. George in front of a castle with a maiden in the tower)
The present day British Parliament with their devolutionary policies are sending our island nations back to these Middle Ages and their actions have already begun to wake up these sleeping Dragons both in England and Wales. The heat is again being felt most in the border areas where one side of the road gets things free and cheaper than the other side, and across England, the Dragons are being stoked up with the fires of regionalism.
Before these Dragons escape and destroy England, the English must rise again to St.George, and with the help of his virtues of courage, honour and fortitude, we can again put out the fires in their bellies.
