Democratic
Deficit in England Scotland
and Wales are countries, and their parliament and assembly recognizes that
fact. For reasons unexplained, England is to be denied recognition as a
country and the people of England are to be denied the right to express
their will through their own parliament

Reasons
for rejecting Regional Assemblies for England
England,
like Scotland, is one country and its people should be given the same
opportunity as the people of Scotland to opt for a parliament of their own.
At its simplest, it is a matter of fairness and equality of
opportunity.

Reasons
for rejecting the "English votes on English Laws"
It
is a reactionary policy born of the need for the Conservative Party to have
a devolution policy of some sort. It is a policy that shows a complete lack
of enthusiasm for devolution and the opportunities it offers

English
'victims of discrimination' -
The former Conservative home
secretary Michael Howard has claimed that the English are becoming victims
of discrimination in the wake of how the government has implemented
devolution. Mr Howard, who warned of a "backlash" unless the
situation was corrected, was speaking after the Home Secretary Jack Straw
described the English as having a "propensity to violence".

Anti
English Bigotry Did
you hear about the bigot who hates all things English? He makes a good
living in the concreting business, because almost everything in the city
depends on this industry. It’s just a pity that reinforced concrete was
invented by W.B. Wilkinson in Newcastle, England. Our bigot’s home uses
electric power generated by steam turbines, which were invented by Sir
Charles Parsons. Many of his home appliances use electric motors, which were
invented by Londoner Michael Faraday. These range from vacuum cleaners, the
invention of Englishman Hubert Booth, to sewing machines, invented by
Englishman Charles Weisenhall back in 1755.

The
abolition of England?
- IN a letter published in the Bradford
Telegraph and Argus (22nd February 2001), Tony Blair was asked, by a
member of the Campaign for an English Parliament, "Can you please explain
why devolution means a national parliament for Scotland and a national
assembly for Wales, but the partitioning of England into regions? Is England
not a nation?"
