The English Hating Jack Straw - What He Thinks Of England - Never Forget...

Anti-English bigot Jack Straw declares that the English are the violent and oppressive scourge of the UK .

Back in 2000, Jack Straw, now "Justice Secretary" let rip with a history-rewriting anti-English rant at the BBC:

Speaking in the BBC Radio 4 documentary, Brits, Mr Straw will say that the English used their propensity to violence, "in Europe and with our empire".

"I think what you have within the UK is three small nations who've been over the centuries under the cosh of the English," he tells the programme.

"Those small nations have inevitably sought expression by a very explicit idea of nationhood."

Absolute Anglophobic cobblers. 

For a start, Wales was a principality of England for centuries. Far too small in those days to be a 'nation' in its own right, although recognised as a country within the kingdom of England - Britain did not exist as a nation, England did. A lot of Welsh bigotry is based on myths and legends - the Celtic myth of 1707, for example. Scotland also has more a jugful of that nonsense in its makeup.

'Celtic Nations'? Exclusive, racist baloney! The Barnett Formula (loathed by its late creator, Lord Joel Barnett), asymmetric national devolution, and the resulting West Lothian Question are all examples of the wilful discrimination carried out by the 'UK' Government against its largest and most ethnically diverse country, England.

Oh, and who got the asymmetric national devolution ball rolling? Yep, Tony Blair, a Scots PM.

Serving the five million people of his homeland so very well!

Historically, Scotland was far from innocent in skirmishes with the English (Braveheart is bigoted, jingoistic fiction) and was disproportionately active in the British Empire - and, indeed, had bankrupted itself before its union with England on a colonisation project of its own.

And blame the English for the whole Irish situation? Ah, so Scotland and Wales erect their pulpits and climb into them yet again, do they? And what about the fact that Ireland was partitioned by Lloyd George, a Welsh PM, with full backing of Scots protestants?

And the IRA were happily bombing England.

Don't forget.
