CEP: GORDON BROWN’S ‘PROGRAMME FOR ‘BRITAIN’ DEFIES AND DENIES THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF THE ENGLISH NOTION OF DEMOCRACY.

English democracy is representative democracy. The people who make the laws that govern a country must represent the people they govern and be answerable to them. On that basic principle England’s Parliament was founded almost 800 years ago in 1253. That same principle lies at the heart of English Common Law and the jury system. When Scotland united with England with the Act of Union in 1707, it accepted the English way of democratic government.

‘But the ‘Programme for ‘Britain’ announced yesterday by Gordon Brown in England’s ancient House of Commons is nothing less than outright repudiation of England’s way of democracy’. That is the declaration of the Campaign for an English Parliament. The main proposals of the Programme cover housing, health and education. Not one of them will apply to Scotland because Scotland through its parliament is self-ruling in all matters of housing, health and education. In these three important areas of government Brown is proposing legislation for England only.

Yet Brown is MP for the Scottish constituency of Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath in Fifeshire. He does not represent one inch of England’s territory and not one single English voter. And he is not answerable in any election to any English man or woman. He is the principal legislator for England, yet he does not represent England in any of these very important matters and he is not accountable to any English person.

What is more, when at next year’s General Election he stands for re-election in Kirkaldy and Cowdenbeath, because he is not a member of the Scottish Parliament, he is not answerable even to his own electorate for any matter concerning housing, health and education. Our system of government has become twisted and deformed.

In terms of what is most basic to the very meaning of English democracy, to have an MP representing a Scottish constituency making legislation for England in matters on which he was not elected by and is not accountable to any electorate is not just wrong, it is politically and constitutionally perverse.

In the statement of the ‘Constitution Unit’ to the House of Commons Justice Committee in November 2007, what is ‘closest to a complete answer’ to this situation created by the nature of the 1998 devolution legislation ‘is an English Parliament?’

Daniel Hannan: "Break Up England - Problem Solved!"

Daniel Hannan, star of YouTube, and undemocratic, cheesy-arsed, gravy train-riding MEP for South East England, advances his own plan to save the UK, and break-up England. As usual, it's not devolution for England, decided by the electorate in England, it's devolution in England, the break-up of the nation, orchestrated by the UK Government and the EU that is the desired course of action.

As for the issue of devolution, this Hannan has a definite end-game. There is no power bestowed on the Holyrood Parliament under the 1998 Scotland Act that could not, in England, be exercised by counties and cities. The decentralisation of power in England is, of course, a meritorious goal in itself. But a happy consequence of English localism would be the rectification of the lopsided 1998 settlement: all Westminster MPs would find themselves on the same footing, dealing with defence, foreign affairs and immigration. Domestic questions - health, education, policing, social security- would be decided more closely to the people. All clear?

So, each county or "region" of England is awarded the same powers as the Scottish parliament? Completely unworkable. And undemocratic.

The people of England need a referendum on how they are governed - the same thing the Scots and Welsh were given.

Despite being last year's YouTube hit, Hannan is a wally.

In fact, the anti-English arrogance of the likes of guzzling Hannan make me sick.

Fuck off, man - let the people decide!

Cambridge City Council - Twisted Hitlers: Misinforming Abused Women and Pouncing On Cigarette Butt Droppers...

Last year we featured this e-mail from a Cambridge City resident:

"I have been married for many years, and it has been a complex and often unhappy marriage, mingled with great times and much love and support. There were elements of physical and verbal abuse on occasion, and by that I do not mean broken bones or terrible bruising, but as my husband suffered from an obsessive mental disorder, the situation is too complex to explain in a few sentences.

"Recently, I found myself absolutely at breaking point and sought help, wanting to find accommodation and support at a hostel for abused women so that I could sort my life out, and review the future of my marriage. I was terribly stressed and unhappy. My husband was oblivious.

"I was told that Cambridge City Council would help me to find a place in a hostel and went to them, to be told that I should go to the police - this would help my case greatly. I did not want to do this. My husband is not an evil man, and the situation between us was, as I wrote before, complex. But the City Council was insistent.

"I went to Parkside Police Station in Cambridge and saw a police officer there who basically cuckolded me into believing that the police would simply have to speak to my husband. This shocked me. I did not want to give my husband's name, but I was worn down so did so and gave the officer his name, description and the telephone number. I did not want to give any of this information. I simply wanted to get away. I begged the police officer not to take further action. He said "If you hadn't wanted us to do something, you wouldn't have come here.' I only went there because Cambridge City Council informed me that I should do so if I wanted to get a place in a hostel. This, as it turned out, was false information.

"My husband was arrested. I had no idea this would happen. When I arrived at the hostel, I was told by staff and management that they would have accepted a referral without any police involvement at all!

"The involvement of the police against my wishes, and the bizarre stance of Cambridge City Council in falsely informing me that police involvement would aid my getting a place at a hostel has contributed to the stress and disruption as my life has basically fallen to pieces.

"My husband has been criminalised, and is now on the DNA Database you mention, the complexity and stress of the situation has grown tenfold, and I cannot help but wonder what was the motivation of Cambridge City Council and Parkside Police Station in misleading me. Many women would be put off seeking aid if they knew they would be forced to go to the police before being granted any.

"Is this just Cambridge? Staff and management of the hostel I went to, which was many miles away, were greatly surprised at the stance taken by Cambridge City Council. I repeat, they said they would have accepted a referral without any police involvement."


We felt concerned at the Council's approach, and the fact that its officers actually lied to the woman. Damned off-putting to leave your husband if he happens to be mentally ill and then be told you must dob him into the police before you'll get much chance of help. Then to discover that you've had your husband arrested because you've been lied to by Cambridge City Council - and that you had a right to sanctuary anyway.

But Cambridge City Council knows best. Now the Council has turned its eyes on fag-butt-droppers:

A SMOKER who dropped his cigarette butt in Cambridge is facing a bill for more than £400.

Environment bosses say tobacco-related littering has soared since the smoking ban was introduced in July 2007, and pursued the case against Tom Todd through the magistrates’ court.

The court heard Todd had been challenged by enforcement officer Yvonne Mackender for discarding the butt on Trinity Street in November last year.

Todd, of Colville Road, Cherry Hinton, gave her a false name but Cambridge City Council managed to identify him.

He did not attend the final court hearing but pleaded guilty to several offences by post.

Magistrates imposed fines of £100 for littering and £150 for giving the officer a false name, plus £150 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

When the News tracked down Todd he said the fine was a "rip-off".

He said: "I just chucked my butt and they nicked me."

But the council said it was "delighted" with the result.

Ms Mackender said that although smokers often do not realise cigarettes are classed as litter, they actually take up to 12 years to degrade.

She added: "Cigarette-related litter has increased since the implementation of the smoking ban back in July 2007, with smokers discarding their cigarette ends outside shops, pubs, clubs and restaurants."

The council says butts are difficult for street cleaners to pick up, and they can be dangerous for birds and other wildlife, which pick them up thinking they are food.

Cllr Mike Pitt, the city council’s environment chief, said taking people who drop litter to court was a last resort.

He said: "We issue fixed penalty notices only when we have to. If an individual chooses not to pay the fixed penalty notice, then we will prosecute.

"Like the rest of the team, I am delighted with this result."

And who is Mike Pitt? Some golf playing, car-driving wally who thinks that the 1970s are the new 1960s and that he's such a nice chap because his outlook fits in with the latest trends in fascist PC speak?

And my goodness - fag ends are dangerous for wildlife are they? And nothing else is? Also, fag butts are particularly difficult for street cleaners to pick up?

PURLEASE!!

Cambridge City Council is a posturing, PC little Hitler of the highest order.

Work FOR the people, you tossers, not AGAINST them!

Didn't Hitler have a downer on smokers, too? More here.

And before anybody asks - yes, I do smoke - about twenty a year! And I've worked in a cancer hospice and seen what effects smoking can have, and my mother has emphysema.

But I still believe that smoking is healthier than fascism. And so is deciding for yourself, having been versed with accurate information, whether you subject your mentally ill partner to the trauma of arrest and a lifetime on the DNA Database.

Cambridge City Council is absolutely awful - smug, lying and controlling to the max.

Is this council typical of local councils across the whole of England?

Scotland - UK Supermarkets Agree To Bolster Anti-English Scots' Bigots

And he released figures showing a 21 per cent increase in demand for Scottish food products over the past two years, despite the economic downturn.

Mr Lochhead unveiled the new retailers' charter – signed by Aldi, Asda, the Co-op, Marks & Spencer, Morrison's, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Waitrose – as he published the Scottish Government's next steps in the first-ever national food and drink strategy.


Well, that's all fine and dandy. Great for English-hating Scots' bigots who can't bear to buy English, as well as people who simply see Scotland as a country alone, with no loyalty due elsewhere. Which it is not.

And I noticed recently that Sainsbury's and Tesco have changed the packaging on their sausages in England so that you can now buy such delights as "BRITISH Pork Licolnshire sausages".

And I've also heard that Tesco is intent on cleansing Englishness out of existence by renaming the (very) few English lines they have as "British" (more here).

There are indications that the major supermarkets have refused to brand English products as English to appease anti-English Scots' bigots. Read the CEP's findings here.

When it comes to our anti-English, Scots-biased supermarkets, we personally vote with our wallets and purses.

How about you?

A big kiss to the Witanagemot Club.

Peter Osborne - Mail Online - Woefully Ignorant About The British Parliament...

From Mail Online, Peter Osborne socks it to us:

Labour's sinister revolution will tear Britain's 700-year-old constitution to shreds in weeks

Yesterday was perhaps the darkest day in the 700-year-old history of the British Parliament. This magnificent institution on the banks of the River Thames, the scene of so many of the greatest episodes in our national life, suffered two hammer blows.

You may as well not pursue the rest. Peter Osborne, in his first sentence, has already displayed his appalling ignorance of British history.

Yesterday was perhaps the darkest day in the 700-year-old history of the British Parliament.

There was NO British Parliament 700 years ago. And "Britain" did not exist as a political entity.

My goodness, how much do these wallies get paid? And who passes work like this for publication? Thank heavens for the blogosphere!

Lord Richard of Ammanford - Basically Says Fuck England!

Wales On-line picks up on odious New Labour toady Liam Byrne praising up the Barnett Formula (despite its creator, Lord Joel Barnett, saying its unfair to England). Wales On-line makes quite a fair fist of it, pointing out:

In 2007-08 the Government spent £7,535 per head in England, £8,577 in Wales and £9,179 in Scotland.

Liam Byrne declares the Formula "fair enough" - keep pocketing the dosh whilst you can, Liam, the gravy train's heading for the cliff - and then some English-hating racist, apparently CHAIRMAN of the Inquiry, blasts in:

Mr Byrne was challenged over his “fair enough” assessment by the inquiry chairman, Lord Richard of Ammanford, who said: “It doesn’t actually mean anything. Look at the difference between Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland – is that fair?”

So, this Lord Richard of Ammanford is CHAIRMAN of the Inquiry, but quite plainly doesn't give a shit about England? And why doesn't he mention England? Because it's not "pure" or so-called "Celtic" enough? And yet, despite not rating a mention from his Lordship, England is getting the worst deal of all!

Lord Richard of Ammanford is highly biased and certainly not committed to what's good for ALL - get him OFF!

David Cameron - Just As Much An Anti-English Wanker As Gordon Brown...

Voting Conservative is, for many people, voting for the lesser of two evils.

And one of the things which adds to the sense of evil emanating from David Cameron's Tory Party is the not-so-great man's anti-English spoutings ("sour little Englanders!"), and Scots jingoism (like describing certain of his ancestors as "Scottish Empire builders" - who "conquered all sorts of parts of India").

And, of course, David Cameron has recently once more been up to his beloved Scotland, promising to "rule" that country with respect.

Not so, England, of course. Bugger the Barnett Formula, the West Lothian Question and health apartheid - better dead English people than a broken Union!

Whilst the Tories did very well in the local elections in England, they could have done much better. And in addressing the legitimate concerns of the electorate in England could have helped to halt the successes of the odious BNP.

On Conservatives.com, whilst relaying news about the English local elections, the site couldn't even bear to write the country's name. Read about the "local elections [UK rump, obviously] - 2009 live results" here.

David Cameron is just as much an anti-English wanker as Gordon Brown. He just talks posher.

Glenys Kinnock - Another Anti-English Appointment By Gordon Brown...

Amazing that Glenys Kinnock is to be the UK Minister for Europe.

Why? How?

We can only assume it's another of Gordon Brown's anti-English appointments. After all, Gordon signed the Scottish Claim of Right in 1989, vowing to put Scotland first in all he does, but he obviously wants to look after his other fellow so-called Celts as well ("Celt" - the ancient WHITE tribe myth, forming an, in reality, entirely imaginary fraternity between the people of Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and Ireland).

And we must remember what Glenys' hubby, dear old Neil Kinnock, once said about England in the sporting arena:

"I am pro-Britain in everything I do. I always support Britain. I support the British Lions on every occasion. I support any and every Welsh team on every occasion. And I support any and every team on every occasion when they are playing against England."

Glenys is probably of much the same ilk. She'll suit so-called "Celtic" Gordy down to the ground. Don't expect her to do a thing to advance England's interests. Quite the reverse.
