I don’t know what it means to be English, because I’ve never been anything else
I am not proud of being English, or think I am better or worse than anyone else
It’s what I am, and I am what I am, and if I’d have been born into any other nation
I would have felt the same and said again without even hesitation
It’s what I am, and I am what I am, a member of that nation
To the British I say this:
I know who I am, and so do you, and we know who you are, and we all know each other, and to pretend otherwise is hypocritical.
What is the difference between being British and being English?
The difference between being British and being English is easily explained;
“If England is playing football against any other country you will always find British people that support the opposing team.
An Englishman would never change his loyalty no matter how bad his team turned out to be.”
Quote by J.M.STANHOPE
I say to Gordon Brown and the rest of the British establishment what Rudyard Kipling’s Norman Barron said to his son and heir has he lay on his death bed.
“The Saxon’s not like the Norman, his manners are not so polite
But he never means anything serious, till he talks about justice and right
When he stands like an ox in the furrow with his sullen eyes on your own
And grumbles “this isn’t fair dealing my son” leave the Saxon alone.”
It is only fair that England and its Nation are given their constitutional
and political identities.

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.

SHARE THE PAIN THAT YOUR BANKS CAUSED
Thanks to a Scottish Prime Minister and a Scottish Chancellor, the people of England along with their children and grandchildren have been saddled with paying off enormous debts incurred by the wanton profligacy of the Royal Bank of Scotland and Halifax Bank of Scotland.
Now the First Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond, is demanding that Scotland's already over-generous Barnett subsidies should be continued untouched, thereby leaving the enormous burden of the Scottish bank bail-out to fall primarily on public services in England whilst leaving Scotland unscathed.
With no Parliament and Politicians of our own to speak up for us and defend our interests, the Campaign for an English Parliament wishes to remind the British Government that any attempt to make England suffer an unfair share of the burden will be neither understood nor forgiven.

Did you know that?
Did you know that the Westminster Parliament in London is not an English Parliament; it is the parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland a ‘BRITISH’ Parliament?
Did you know that the United Kingdom of Great Britain was created in 1707 when England and Scotland gave up their own separate Kingdom’s to be united under one sovereign monarch?
Did you know that by giving up your nation's sovereign rights you are handing over the supreme and indisputable power to rule on those rights to whom you give them? (Today think EU)
Did you know that England and Scotland were made to give up their own separate parliaments and identities in the terms of the ‘Treaty of Union’ and agree to all of the new United Kingdoms subjects taking on its new ‘BRITISH’ identity?
Did you know that Wales was a Principality under England’s control, so Welsh subjects too became part of the new United Kingdom and had to take on its new ‘BRITISH’ identity?
Did you know that articles in the terms of the ‘Treaty of Union’ stated; that all subjects of the United Kingdom of Great Britain shall have full communication of all rights, privileges and advantages, which do or may belong to the subjects of either kingdom, and that all parts of the United Kingdom shall have the same allowances, encouragements and drawbacks?
Did you know that the ‘British’ United Kingdom Parliament broke those articles of the treaty in 1998 with their Devolution Acts, which denied England’s ‘British’ subjects any entitlement to the rights and privileges that the United Kingdom Parliament gave to Scotland and Wales; namely giving them their own separate National Parliaments while denying a National Parliament to England?
Did you know that a National Parliament recognises the political existence of a nation and gives it the power to defend its borders and cultural identity?
Did you know that since 1998 England has 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 Polices, giving the ‘British’ a free hand to destroy England’s unity and culture by allowing them to break up England into their 9 multicultural ‘British’ Regions, and applying their EU laws with impunity?
Did you know that since 1998 the ‘British’ rather than giving England a parliament to politically recognise the ‘English Nation’ have been using the media, especially the BBC, to try and force the ‘English Nation’ into accepting their multicultural ‘British identity? The ‘British’ media and politicians to hoodwink the general public prefer to talk about Britain when they mean England, and prefer to talk of the Brits and British when they mean English, and show their contempt for England when they refer to the ‘Nations and Regions’ of the United Kingdom to deny England and its nation existance.
Did you know that without an English Parliament to defend the cultural assets of the nation the ‘British’ can continue to sell them off until England will not have the means to regenerate its English identity?
Did you know that since 1998 it has been impossible for the United Kingdom British political parties to set out a manifesto, or a British Government to deliver a set of social and domestic policies that would have to apply throughout the whole of the United Kingdom?
The British political parties will be producing separate manifestos for their Nations and their British (England) Regions for the next General Election.
If you love England and want England’s identity to survive you must gain a defence against British Domestic and EU Policies being forced on the English Nation, and the only way you can do that is to gain political recognition for yourself and your country with an English Parliament. Don’t let the ‘British’ soft soap you with their bull s—t of needing more MPs, costs, England’s too big etc. rhetoric into accepting their British Regions as an alternative.England’s and your future depends on it.
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.
Every nation has a right to govern themselves under their own laws; it is what makes a nation, and is the difference between self government and subordination, between self respect and self contempt. Are we going to surrender what our ancestors have fought and died for over centuries, have they died for nothing, or are we going to raise our heads and tell these people who would deny us, that England has a nation too and demand that it be recognised.
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.

CEP: Make St George's Day a public holiday in England
With the countdown to the likely end of Gordon Brown’s premiership well under way, the Campaign for an English Parliament today calls on the Prime Minister to take decisive action in order to prevent history from recording him as the most anti-English Prime Minister ever.
Having signed the Scottish Claim of Right 1988, which asserts the sovereign right of the people of Scotland to adopt the governance of their choosing, it is hypocritical of Gordon Brown to deny the people of England the same sovereign right to choose how England should be governed.
St George's Day on the 23rd April represents an opportunity for Gordon Brown to start making amends. There is massive public support for a national holiday to mark England's national day, and such a national holiday in England would put the people of England on an equal footing with Gordon Brown's own constituents in Scotland who enjoy a public holiday on St Andrew's Day.
On the 23rd April, 2008, Mr Brown declared that "As far as St. George's day is concerned, it is a matter for public debate on whether this is going to be a holiday." What has happened to that public debate and why isn't the Prime Minister leading it? Or does he only do ‘Britishness’? There is still time for Mr Brown to introduce the change this year – and it would a nice pre-election treat for an England weary of politicians who take but never give.

Make them talk of England
Articles 111, 1V and V1 of the Act of Union state that the United Kingdom of Great Britain be represented by one Parliament; that all the subjects of the United Kingdom of Great Britain shall have full communication of all other rights, privileges, and advantages which do or may belong to the subjects of either Kingdom and that all parts of the United Kingdom shall have the same allowances, encouragements and drawbacks.
By allowing Scotland to take back its own parliament in the Devolution Acts 1998 the British Government destabilised the United Kingdom, and in doing so violated the Articles of Union as set out some 300 years ago in 1707 that created the United Kingdom Parliament.
The people of England were never asked if they agreed to this violation and the British MPs elected by England to represent them in the United Kingdom Parliament never explained what the consequences of this action would mean for the English Nation. England’s MPs did however aid and abet the British MPs elected to represent Scotland in explaining to the people of Scotland Scotland’s benefits, and supported the call for a yes vote in a national referendum that gave Scotland a parliament.
The people of England should realise that it was the people of Scotland with their yes vote along with their British MPs who instigated the violation and devolution; the abomination and violation that has allowed the British in their United Kingdom Parliament to ignore the guarantees that were laid down in those Articles to the people of England.
England can not ignore the fact that it was the ordinary Scottish voter whether they knew it or not that has handed the political power to the United Kingdom Parliament that is being used by its British MPs to deny England its political identity, and its people their homeland and their cultural identity.
British MPs who hated England and loved the EU, many elected from Welsh and English constituencies always new what power they would have when giving Scotland a parliament, and so put Scottish MPs in the top ministerial positions to pull it off. Scotland’s MPs have been rewarded by the British in that they have been allowed to dominate most if not all of the most important ministerial positions in the British United Kingdom Parliament ever since, and these MPs have missed no opportunity with their English hating friends in using this new found power over England.
Scottish elected MPs including the UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Chancellor Alistair Darling have been orchestrating policies for the last 12 years which they knew could not apply to their own Scottish Nation that elected them, and have subjected the people of England to a campaign of discrimination bordering on cultural genocide, and have been and are acting as England’s liquidators in selling off the nation’s assets turning the country into England Plc. Even the country itself as not escaped the liquidator as the British hand it over to every Tom, Dick or Harry that wants to come here and be stamped with their British Brand.
England’s guarantee is up and while England is suffering Scotland is prospering at its expense, and its people either enjoy now or have been promised the luxuries of Free Eye Tests, Free Prescription Charges, Free Dental Check Ups and Reduced Charges, Free Personal Care in Residential Homes – even if they cross the border into England, Free School Milk and Better School Meals being provided as they receive double England’s subsidy, Seriously ill patients are able to receive drugs denied to England’s patients even if they are in an English hospital, Trainee nurses kept on an extra year after qualification, Scotland has 80% more nurses,midwives and health visitors,50% more doctors and dentists, teachers get higher pay and they have less pupils per class,No Hospital Parking Charges, No Wheel Clamping allowed anywhere in the country, Students in Universities have fees waived until they are earning over £25,000 per year and have to pay No Top Up Fees, Council tax frozen at 2007 rate and it has only risen by 40% since 1997 while England’s has risen 100% over the same period, and every young woman living in England should be aware that their life is not as important as a Scottish one as Jade Goody tragically found out to her cost, because England’s young women are not entitled to cancer cervical smear tests until they are 25, in Scotland its 20. The Scots also get a National Holiday on their St. Andrew’s Day and can fly Scotland’s flag from public buildings and use it to promote their products.
Scotland and Wales also have been given louder voices in the UK-EU policy shaping process and can speak up for the specific interests of their nations.
The Scottish and Welsh Development Agencies deal direct with their own National Executives so they can tailor things on a national basis. England on the other hand only has poorly funded regional development agencies fighting each other for resources.
In fact, the devolved countries (Nations) have a multitude of special privileges to get their voice heard on a range of policies and laws.
They have MP’s at Westminster, They have their own parliament or assembly They each have a secretary of state in the UK cabinet They each have a grand committee made up of their Westminster MP’s. They each have a Select Committee at Westminster to deal with their national affairs.
The government is making and changing laws so often that the legislation is not fully scrutinised and more than 4000 Statutory Instruments have been issued in one year alone. Their MP’s in Westminster have had their work load drastically cut because they now have no constituents to look after, which has allowed them more time to study these laws, besides which, they also have the benefit of their own separate institutions that study them and give approval.
Although the devolved nation’s MP’s workload has been drastically reduced they have had no pay cut.
Scottish Fisheries Departments have now taken control of border fisheries and this has already led to the Scots cutting English fishing quotas along the East Coast. How long before the Welsh do the same?
The maritime border was moved to pacify the nationalists and does not now follow international convention gifting a lot of England’s oil and gas to Scotland.
Every nation has a right to govern themselves under their own laws; it is what makes a nation, and is the difference between self government and subordination, between self respect and self contempt. Scotland is now in control of all of its own domestic policies and a British and EU recognised nation. England too is a nation and we must demand that recognition.
Not one British political party wants to talk about England in their election manifestos preferring to obscure its existence in a Britain, because if they were forced to tell the people of England the truth their house would fall down, and in the meantime the entire British establishment with its social engineering and tax policies seems to be set on a course of turning the next generation of England into a nation of bastards.
Make them talk about England and bring them down - stop the rot get rid of the lot

I’M DYING FOR AN ENGLISH EDUCATION
Even before all the British political parties have finalised their manifestos for the forthcoming General Election, they are not disguising the fact that they are going to continue treating the people of England as second class citizens. Not once have we heard the word ‘England’ mentioned by any British political party, even though the parties have spoken about policies on the Health Service and education, which they know could only apply to England. If this is the new political policy for regaining the trust of the English people after all the shenanigans of the present corrupt government, then we should have a lot to fear from the next one.
England will continue to suffer at the expense of the devolved nations. Depending on which party is elected to form the next government, England’s children could face ‘slavery’ or the orphanage with the prospect of their parents becoming heroes, England’s elderly face the prospect of having to sell their homes to get care, England’s sick will be allowed to go blind or will have to be terminally ill in order to get free prescription drugs, England’s council tax will continue to rise; yet not one of these policies will apply to the Scots, the Welsh or the Irish, because they have their own parliaments that stop such policies being forced on them.
Gordon Brown, the leader of the Labour Party, Prime Minister, and England’s unelected ‘First Minister’, said that his clear expectation is that all the young people of England will be made to do community service (the like of which is now reserved for criminals) which would be linked to a ‘clear system of accreditation’, meaning that children who refuse to take part in this ‘slave labour’ scheme would be marked down or fail their Citizenship exams.
Because of costs, Nick Clegg’s Liberal-Democrats party has now dropped its worthwhile policies for the English Health Service and for education (without mentioning ‘England’) that would have gone a long way to right the wrongs against England. This party, like all the British parties, obviously considers the quality of an English life to be less than that of a Scottish, Welsh or Irish one.
It is hard to find out what is likely to be in David Cameron’s Conservative party manifesto but what we do know is that the Conservatives have gone one step further than any of the other British parties on England’s higher education policy. This party’s policy on English education shows the contempt all the British political parties have for our nation; at a time when it is being reported that one in five of our troops are not fit to fight in Afghanistan, partly because of mental illness, this party’s education policy tells England’s servicemen and women that if they get themselves killed the British will fund their children’s university education, which is tantamount to asking them to commit suicide in order for their children to get the same provision of the free education the British already provide for Scotland’s children.
These British policies do nothing to bring the Union together, but go a long way in breaking it apart and shows once again that it is no longer possible since devolution for any British political party or government to deliver a set of social and domestic policies that would have to apply to the whole of the United Kingdom and the people this government is supposed to be elected to represent.

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.
