David Cameron: FUCK England!

This makes me heave:

Family, community, country. In recent years we’ve been hearing things about our country we haven’t heard for a long time. People saying they don’t know what it is to be British, what this country stands for.

People in Scotland who want to leave the United Kingdom and people in England who say let them go.

I am passionate about our Union and I will never do anything to put it at risk. And because of the new political force we have created with the Ulster Unionists, I’m proud that at the next election we will be the only party fielding candidates in every part of the United Kingdom.


Firstly, I always thought that the UK was a union of countries? Secondly, I thoroughly dislike David some of my ancesters were "...were Scottish Empire builders - conquered all sorts of parts of India, I think" Cameron. Hateful, swine of a man - who happily ignores issues like the West Lothian Question.

Carry on dying in England for want of medication available on the higher-funded NHS in Scotland..

The incoming upper class brat at Number 10 doesn't give a shit.

Must be the "Scots blood" in his veins, as he puts it.

I'm going to dislike the probable new anti-English/anti-England PM just as much as I do the present one.

Smug, biased and uncaring git that he is.

CEP Press Release: Conservative Party Conference agenda

England ignored and taken for granted. As always. It is 60% of the Union landmass, 85% of the Union population, it produces 90% of its wealth, its subsidies the three other countries and keeps them solvent. But anyone looking at the agenda for discussion on the Union at the 2009 Conservative Party conference in Manchester this coming week would think the Union consists solely of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. England isn't even mentioned, let alone discussed.

This is the list of speakers for the discussion on The Union at the conference:

Cheryl Gillan - Shadow Secretary of State for Wales

David Mundell - Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland

Owen Paterson - Shadow Secretary of State for Northern Ireland

Nick Bourne - Leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the National Assembly

Sir Reg Empey - Leader of the Ulster Unionist Party

Not one single speaker for England. Its affairs not mentioned, its identity not recognised, its existence totally ignored.

That, states Veronica Newman addressing a meeting of Hampshire CEP members, well sums up the attitude of the UK Establishment towards England. It just refuses to give to England its rightful recognition. We are a distinct nation within the United Kingdom. We have a very ancient identity, we are the first unified nation in Europe, we have a distinct national culture which doesn't only go back centuries and includes some of the great cultural names in world history, and the greatest writer in the person of Shakespeare, but which is also vibrant and exciting to this very day.

It is time to ask why the party which might well be the UK government within nine months treats England with such injustice and bias. Love and respect for England could be a huge force for a revitalised Union. It is time the Conservative Party started to ask itself why it can be so generous towards Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, yet so negative towards England.

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.

David Cameron - Another Tyrant?

"People who stand for public office put themselves forward as people who will rule over the rest of us."

So says David Cameron, who has stood for public office and is an MP - and possible Prime Minister in waiting - making a statement as part of the MPs' Expenses scandal.

RULE?

But surely our elected representatives should serve? OK, there must be leadership, at times difficult decisions must be taken, but I don't like the emphase on RULING on Mr Cameron's part.

And from what I've heard of his refusal to listen to the calls of the people of England for democratic parity within the so-called United Kingdom, I am very concerned that Cameron really does intend to RULE - refusing to listen to our wishes, and simply letting the devolution inequalities continue.

Do politicians these days really see themselves as RULING the electorate? And not as our elected representatives?

Hopefully this attitude is not too widespread, but David Cameron obviously has more in common with Gordon Brown than what he terms "Scottish blood" in his veins.

All hail the New Ruler in waiting!

God Help England!

God Help Democracy!

David Cameron - Brown Nosing His Beloved Scotland Again - And Leaving England Out In The Cold...

God, how we dislike David Cameron. And Gordon Brown, of course. But here is Cameron "Scottish blood in my veins" again, this time in The Telegraph, promising to "rule Scotland with respect".

Not England, of course. Nope, we are "sour Little Englanders" - and the West Lothian Question, the Barnett Formula and health apartheid matter not. Better a deprived England, better dead English people on the so-called NHS, than a broken so-called Union.

If Cameron gets in it will be because Nulabour has been so foul, it will certainly be no endorsement of the man or his political morals.

God, how we dislike David Cameron...

The Labour Party, The Conservative Party, The Liberal Democrats, The British National Party - Racists All

We all remember the referendum in the North East of England which voted 78% against regionalisation. Sadly, the rest of us weren't given a say and New Labour continued the break-up of England regardless. Gordon Brown's last act as Chancellor was to swipe £2bn from the English NHS:

From the Financial Times:

However, Mr Brown avoided equivalent cuts to the Scottish and Welsh NHS budgets even though the funding formula for the UK nations suggests they should have shared the pain. That decision leaves him open to criticism that he favoured patients in his home country

Gordon Brown's first act as Prime Minister without a mandate was to create regional ministers in England, and now regional select committees. But those given a say in the North East said a resounding NO to regionalisation. That doesn't matter. The people of England are not allowed to live in a democracy.

Now, the Lib Dumbs are screeching over Labour "unfairness" in the composition of the new Regional Select Committees. Note, NOT over the fact that the people of England don't WANT regions. The Lib Dumbs go even further, stating that their article here "refers to UK" - which it doesn't. Scotland and Wales have their own national governing bodies. The article refers to ENGLAND.

So, lower public spending in England - via the Barnett Formula, health apartheid, the West Lothian Question... and MPs of all parties remain quite unconcerned about the people of England. Keep 'em quite. Put in more CCTV. Keep the DNA Database. Tell 'em it's to combat terrorism. Fool the people. Crush the people.

As charges of racism can brought on grounds of nationality/country of origin, it seems that the major UK political parties - New Labour, the Tories, the Lib Dumbs, and the BNP are ALL guilty of racism.

Now, isn't that a spooky factoid?

CEP Press Release: The Strange Case of David Cameron's Preferential Treatment Of Scotland At England's Expense

It may be because he has family in Scotland and a Scottish name. Or it may be because he is still hoping against hope and against all predictions that somehow he can hold on to the one seat the Conservative Party has in Scotland in Dumfrieshire and be able to claim, if he does become Prime Minister, that he represents the whole of the UK. ‘Whatever is the reason, David Cameron’s latest bulletin about what he intends to do if he gets into 10 Downing Street reveals a staggering disregard for justice for England and an equally amazing intention to give Scotland very preferential treatment’.

That is the response of the CEP to Cameron’s disclosure to the Financial Times (Tuesday 13th January) that he intends to cuts the number of MPs by 10% ‘in the interests of efficiency. He specifies that to meet that target he will reduce the number of English seats from between 40 and 50 and Welsh seats by about 10. But at the same time he will let Scotland keep every seat it has, and that despite the fact that Scotland is already over-represented in the House of Commons in comparison to England. Scotland has 59 MPs in Westminster (in addition of course to another 129 MPs in the Scottish Parliament). That number of 59 would need to be reduced to 53 to bring the two countries into line in terms of MPs per constituents. Nor is that all. The Isle of Wight, Britain's biggest constituency, has an electorate of 108,253 while Na h-Eileanan an Iar, formerly known as the Western Isles, is the smallest constituency in Britain with an electorate of 21,884.

‘Such blatant favouritism in favour of Scotland should be not allowed’ the CEP has stated in response to Cameron’s announcement. ‘We hope that if he gets into No 10 and approaches the Electoral Commission with his proposal, they will throw it out. Whatever changes in electoral representation are needed, and doubtless some are, they should be made on the basis of equal treatment of each of the three nations of this island. Scotland should not continue to be favoured above England. Scotland enjoys the Barnett Formula which gives each Scot £1600 more health and education expenditure than anyone in England. It has the highest degree of devolution, while England has none at all. It has free university education, free prescriptions, a freeze on council tax, free personal care for the elderly, free hospital parking, and above all its own parliament with 129 MSPs elected just to focus on Scotland’s needs and development alone. None of any of that exists in England. And 80% of the cost of all of it is paid for by the English taxpayer. The injustice is grotesque. Cameron should think to represent England as earnestly as Scotland if and when he becomes PM’. .

David Cameron, Racist, Criticises Prince Harry For Racist Comment

Good grief, here's David Cameron, criticising Prince Harry for his racist "Paki" remark, which I in no way condone, whilst backing UK discrimination - racism - against every single resident of England!

Speaking of Prince Harry's comment, Mr Cameron told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show:

"It is obviously a completely unacceptable thing to say and it is right that he has apologised.

"I think that it is important in the great institutions, whether it is the Army or whether it is political parties, we have had to root out attitudes... and that has to go right across the institutions."


Heavens to Betsy - but Mr Cameron thinks it is perfectly fine for people in England to die for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland! He thinks it's fine for the Scots and Welsh to be subsidised by the electorate in England to enjoy better health and social care services than those in England. He brags jingoistically about his family's involvement in a Scottish Empire" (note - not "BRITISH"!) - "conquered all sorts of parts of India" whilst calling people in England who want equality with Scotland "sour little Englanders"; he brags about "Scottish blood" in his veins (some sort of white tribe, are they?).

He slagged off the English to the Scots at a time when Scots' racist violence against the English was making headlines.

On Tyneside a couple of days ago, Cameron basically told everybody in England to get stuffed:

One member of the audience complained of the huge differences between services in the North East and Scotland.

She complained that free prescriptions, university tuition and care for the elderly in England should be a priority issue for any Cameron Government.

Mr Cameron responded: “I don’t want to do anything that will encourage a sense of English nationalism and distance between the two countries.”

But Scotland having all these priviliges that the English don't enjoy is creating a sense of "distance".

In short, David Cameron is a racist himself. Before you write to tell me that the English are not a race, charges of racism can be brought on grounds on nationality, and before you write and tell me that Cameron is English, I don't believe it. His loyalty is not to England. He treats us with contempt. David Cameron is an arrogant Brit-Scot, and a racist. It's time the Tories ditched this outrageous hypocrite.

David Cameron Reveals His Anti-English Bias Yet Again

Quite a lot of folk I have spoken to in the past have told me that David Cameron is not anti-English. He is simply a Unionist.

So, when he calls people in England wanting equality with Scotland "sour Little Englanders", nips over to Scotland and tells the Scots that the English are basically ignorant and unappreciative of them (and this around the time of racist attacks on English people wearing England football shirts in Scotland), and then nips back to England to bleat on about the part certain of his ancestors played in the "Scottish Empire" and the "Scots blood" in his veins (there's no such thing!), we're supoosed to think it's because he values the Union.

The fact that the Barnett Formula and West Lothian Question do such terrible things to the people of England is not supposed to matter.

Well, I'm sorry, but I've NEVER believed that Mr Cameron is only a Unionist. I believe that, like many of his ilk, part Scots, privately educated, politically correct, and insulated from the woes of modern day life, that he does not like England nor care for its people at all.

Occasionally, Mr Cameron muddies the water, by claiming to be "English", but his other comments negate those witterings. He merely seeks to confuse.

One gets the impression that Mr C does not hold any different views from the Scottish Raj and the current shameful shower of MPs "representing" constituencies in England infesting Westminster today. And that the sufferings of the people of England would continue under his leadership.

Gareth came across this report about David Cameron's recent visit to Tyneside:

One member of the audience complained of the huge differences between services in the North East and Scotland.

She complained that free prescriptions, university tuition and care for the elderly in England should be a priority issue for any Cameron Government.

Mr Cameron responded: “I don’t want to do anything that will encourage a sense of English nationalism and distance between the two countries.”

So, he's happy to spout jingoistic nonsense about the "Scottish Empire" and to slag off the English in Scotland, he's happy for the English to die for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland, but he is not happy for the people of England to realise what is going on. He is certainly not happy for the people of England to wake up to the fact that England is a country and it is being abused.

What a complete and utter unreasonable... person... David Cameron is.

We have lots about David Cameron, his treatment of England, his thoughts on his family's part in the "Scottish Empire" (note NOT "British!!), and MORE here.

Big hat-tip to Toque!

The Conservative Party - Don't Say England!

Like NuLabour, the Tories are dedicated to not saying "England". Under David Cameron, how could it possibly be otherwise? And relations with the similarly "Celtic" fringe biased Labour are actually pretty cordial, with all sorts of discrimination against the people of England played down or allowed to slip through the net uncommented on by Dave and his loyal crew.

Trumpeting the usual off-target nonsense, the Tories now tell us once more what they are going to do for "Britain" and "across the UK".

But the reality is that much of what follows will only apply to England or England and perhaps occasionally to Wales. However the word "Britain", meaning England, Scotland and Wales is substituted, highly misleading though that word is, because it suits the Tories, just as it suits New Labour and the Lib Dems, to lie to us. Read the following Conservative Party propaganda - and spot the lies - please note my inserts [...].

Radical policy changes are needed to help "socially immobile" families get out of a cycle of benefit dependency and educational failure, the Tories are due to say.

The Conservatives will accuse the Government of a "wasted decade" of policies and warn that in deprived areas people no longer do better than their parents did.

In a report - Through The Glass Ceiling - the party will call for early intervention when babies are born into "families with problems", and in primary school to make sure children do not fall behind with their reading.

The Tories will also set out major reforms in secondary education
[applies to England only - education is devolved outside England]
, ensuring that schools stop abandoning many subjects that top universities are looking for, such as sciences and modern languages.

Shadow work and pensions secretary Chris Grayling is expected to say: "Britain is now a country
[Britain is NOT a country, it is a union of three countries]
where it is more and more difficult for young people to do better than their parents did.

"Worse still, we have generations of the same family trapped in a dependency culture. For 10 years the Government has been telling us it has the policies to solve the problem. But it hasn't worked. Britain really now needs a fresh direction."
[Chris Grayling does not have the remit to talk about Britain in this way.]

The Tories will announce a new "whole family" approach to ending benefit dependency and generational worklessness. This is based on work being done in Germany, where entire families including children struggling at school are given support to deal with the challenges their household faces.

The report is the result of 18 months' analysis by the Conservatives. This was partly carried out by the Social Justice Policy Commission, headed by former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith.

Early intervention proposals will include 4,000 more health visitors across the UK
[nonsense - Scotland looks after its own health service so, increasingly does Wales - both are far better funded than England's] to help parents with babies and young children.


So, the Tories are as anti-England/anti-English as New Labour? Not quite. But, like the Lib Dems, the so-called "Union" comes before little things - like equality and honesty for the electorate in England.

Read about Jim Fitzpatrick - England's Transport Minister, who insists on pretending his authority extends to Scotland and Wales here.

Gordon Brown Demands Responsible Behaviour From the Tories - We Demand It Too!

Gordon Brown has demanded the Tories stop "point scoring". What? Things are far too cosy between Government and so-called Opposition already! Mr Brown wants "responsible" behaviour from the Conservative Party. Read it here.

So do we. The Tory party's leadership needs to develop a sense of responsibility to the electorate in England. Where is David Cameron's voice in the Regional Select Committees undemocratic carve-up of England outage? Nowhere.

And this is the man who brags about Scottish blood in his veins, his family's involvement in the "Scottish Empire" and calls those of us wanting equality in England "sour little Englanders".

Get with it, Tories, and Gordon Brown - FUCK OFF, YOU EVIL DICTATOR!

Anti-English David Cameron Cosies Up To Gordon Brown


Conservative leader David Cameron offered to suspend political hostilities to help the Government deal with the crisis in the financial markets.

He was aiming to avoid a British repeat of the wrangling in Congress which blocked George Bush's 700 billion-dollar (£385bn) plan to rescue US banks.

In an emergency speech to the Tory conference in Birmingham, Mr Cameron offered his party's support for Government legislation to tackle the crisis and urged Prime Minister Gordon Brown to speed it onto the statute books when the Commons returns on Monday.

He announced that he was dropping Tory objections to a key element of the Government's Banking Reform Bill to ensure it passes smoothly through Parliament.

A sombre-faced Mr Cameron won applause from activists as he told the conference: "Let us not allow the political wrangling that took place in America to happen here in our own country. In Britain we are all in this together, so in Britain let us stick together and together we will find a way through."

Whatever the merits and pitfalls of Cameron's current choice of action, the fact is that as Opposition the Tories are useless anyway.

And the Party simply will not speak up for the people of England - as the most outrageous discrimination is practised against every man, woman and child in England, David Cameron insults those seeking justice "sour Little Englanders!" (in the linked article, Cameron chooses to tell lies about the Poll Tax in Scotland. The true facts are here) and bangs on about "Scottish blood" in his veins (what a racist concept!) and the fact that whilst those of us in England must be "British", his ancestors' apparently took part in the "Scottish Empire".

Cameron - you are an anti-English politician, one of many currently infesting Westminster, and you are one of the most dishonourable and unprincipled Opposition Leaders it's ever been our misfortune to encounter.

Die in England for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland?

The West Lothian Question? The Barnett Formula?

"In Britain we are all in this together," you say. Well, you, Sir, are a liar - and like every other MP who refuses to speak up for the people of England, you have blood on your hands!

Conservatives: We're Doing Well In The Polls, So Who Gives A Stuff About Equality For England?

The Tories, headed by David "Scots blood in my veins" Cameron, have decided that the Barnett Formula - which sees such delightful things as English lives being valued less than Scots ones, free prescriptions in Wales whilst fees rocket in England, etc, should not be allowed to interfere with their Unionist obsession.

As they are riding high in the polls anyway, why give a stuff about England? They are quite blatant about it, too:

The party now enjoys a large opinion poll lead. Polls had suggested that reform of the Barnett formula could have an electric effect on voters - similar to last year's inheritance tax cut - but that the risk was no longer necessary. Ridley Grove made the case on Monday that large opinion poll leads are discouraging radicalism in Tory policy.

Reform could jeopardise talks with the Ulster Unionists. The focus is often on Scotland but as the graphic above shows, the biggest beneficiary of the current settlement is N Ireland. David Cameron has high hopes for Owen Paterson's co-operation talks with the UUP and unpicking the Barnett formula could greatly undermine the appeal of UUP-Tory candidates in their first General Election campaign.

Reform could be a gift to the SNP. Alex Salmond believes that reform of Barnett would be a massive gift to his hopes for independence. A poll earlier this week found that - regardless of Barnett - a quarter of Scots would be more likely to vote for independence if there was a Tory government.

Reform could hurt the Conservatives' Welsh revival. Although the party may not win many more seats in NI or Scotland there is a real chance of big gains in Wales. Conservatives in Cardiff fear that reform of Barnett could kill those chances. As part of the Tory commitment to Wales the Shadow Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan has already defended the continuation of the Welsh Office.


Evil, Self-Serving, Racist Bastards.

David Cameron - He'll Mend Our Broken Society, But Don't Expect Equal Funding, OK, You Sour Little Englanders?

David Cameron is happy with health apartheid and asymmetric devolution - anybody who complains is a "Sour Little Englander". And now this twisted public school cretin is wittering on about mending our broken society. Of course, those who were little boys/girls in the 1980s, are banging on about what an improvement this statement is on the dread days of Thatcher.

But it's all words. All crap. David Cameron's government actively backs murder in England by refusing to stand up for the electorate on the health apartheid issue. The most you will get from the Tories is reference to a "postcode lottery" regarding health - as though it was a problem affecting the UK as a whole. The fact that Scotland and Wales receive far higher funding via the Barnett Formula is always ignored. Or played down to such an extent you would think it didn't really matter. Meanwhile, "British" Cameron bangs on about "a Scottish Empire" and having ancestors who were involved in the same.

The democratic rights of the people of England matter not a jot to him. And he also tells lies about the EU.

The man is so far removed from modern day England - or Britain for that matter - such a heartless spinner of pap, that he takes my breath away.

Thatcher said there was no such thing as society - people were too dependent on the State in her view. She stated that the country was made up of families and individuals - first you must help yourself then your neighbour. Governments could only act through people. That was the full gist of her 1987 interview, reproduced below.

"I think we've been through a period where too many people have been given to understand that if they have a problem, it's the government's job to cope with it. 'I have a problem, I'll get a grant.' 'I'm homeless, the government must house me.' They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves first. It's our duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour. People have got the entitlements too much in mind, without the obligations. There's no such thing as entitlement, unless someone has first met an obligation."

I remember reading some old guru writing on a similar theme in the 1960s: "Tend at least your own garden. When it is without weeds, then help your neighbour".

Of course I disagreed with Thatcher. But not half as much as I disagree with the lying, twisted, self-serving anti-English/England politicians of the current day.

Alan Duncan - Ignoring England, Backing Regionalisation...

EVERY economy has its regional differences. From the prosperity of the wool industry in the 18th century West Country, to the smooth production lines of the Midlands in the 20th, certain English regions have often been immediately identifiable with certain trades.

So says Alan Duncan, Shadow Trade Secretary.

So, England has always had regions, has it Mr Duncan?

He continues:

But dig a little deeper and the picture becomes much more complex. Yorkshire's industrial past has been extraordinarily varied: textiles from West Riding, steel from Sheffield, coal from Doncaster.

But isn't Yorkshire a COUNTY?

He then goes on a lot about the "UK":

But we still need to do more to target areas of the UK that are failing to keep pace with the rest of the country.

The UK - a country? Surely it's a Union of countries? And aren't the RDA's he discusses only in England?

When last I looked, the Tories were opposed to the regional project. So what's going on now? And is Alan Duncan very educated on his subject matter?

Uncaring David Cameron - The Union Comes Before English Lives!

David Cameron has been in Scotland again telling the Scottish Conservative Conference: "I am passionate about our Union. I do not want to be the prime minister of England. I want to be prime minister of the United Kingdom - all of it, including Scotland."

But the Scots also have a First Minister and a parliament to represent their interests. England doesn't and David Cameron seems perfectly happy for that state of affairs to continue.

"Better an imperfect Union than a broken one. Better an imperfect Union than a perfect divorce. My answer is simple. I choose the United Kingdom."

It fascinates me that David Cameron sees fit to condone an "imperfect Union" when it is only England that is disadvantaged.

It fascinates me that David Cameron has a pronounced jingoistic streak that prompts him to brag of "Scottish blood" in his veins and that certain of his ancestors "...were Scottish Empire builders - conquered all sorts of parts of India, I think."

Mr Cameron has roundly attacked those in England calling for equality as "sour little Englanders". He has told various Scots audiences that the English need to understand the Scots better and that the English are basically rather thoughtless and insensitive types - to say the least!

The truth is that the English do not have the same democratic representation as the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish. The truth is that English lives are not valued as highly as those elsewhere in the UK. The truth is that public services for the English are not funded as well as those in other parts of the UK.

The most dreadful discrimination is levelled against every citizen of England. And David Cameron plays it down. He slags off the English to the Scots. He says he favours an "imperfect Union" above no Union - and damn England. Damn you.

David Cameron plays down or ignores the absolutely horrendous facts of life in the devolved "UK". Like health apartheid:

A grandmother battling lung and brain cancer is paying £1,500 a month for the drug that is keeping her alive - even though it is free on the NHS in Scotland.

Carol Rummels, 60, was given just two months to live when doctors discovered tumours in her lungs and on her brain.

A year after her diagnosis, she is still fighting and, thanks to the £5,000 she has spent on the drug Tarceva, her tumours are shrinking.

If she had lived 285 miles north, the lifesaving drug would be free.

Read the full story here.

Mr Cameron told the Scottish Conservative Conference: "Being British is one of the most successful examples of inclusive civic nationalism in the world. We can be a shining example of what a multi-ethnic, multi-faith multi-national society can and should be."

Really? Newcomers to England are only offered a "British" option. Englishness is not on offer to them. Politicians seem to thrive on this divide and rule tactic, demonising Englishness as "exclusive" and "racist" in the process. Many Scots and Welsh people have long bitterly rejected Britishness. The English have seen their own country and their own national institutions submerged beneath a suffocating blanket of Britishness.

Wonderfully inclusive Britishness, with equality for all?

Why isn't Mr Cameron expressing outrage about health apartheid, the West Lothian Question and the Barnett Formula? Why isn't he expressing outrage on behalf of people like Mrs Rummels?

Answers please - and Mr Cameron, what have you got to say for yourself? And what do you say to the likes of Mrs Rummels?
To recap, at the conference, Mr Cameron said: "Better an imperfect Union than a broken one. Better an imperfect Union than a perfect divorce. My answer is simple. I choose the United Kingdom."

But then of course, Mr Cameron doesn't have to depend on the English NHS, does he?

Is It Good News For England That The Tories Have Done Well?


The local election results show that the Conservatives have given New Labour a well-deserved drubbing, but is that good news for England?

England lacks a First Minister, but hear David Cameron:

"I want to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, not England".

So, is Mr Cameron proposing an English Parliament complete with English First Minister? No, actually - he most definitely isn't.

England is severely disadvantaged by devolution - Scots lives are valued higher than English ones and prescriptions are free to millionaires in Wales, but hear David Cameron:

"I would rather have an imperfect Union rather than some perfect constitutional construct that would threaten the Union."

Roughly translated, this means that discrimination against the English is fine, so long as the Union is preserved.

And the West Lothian Question, which allows non-accountable MPs to vote on English legislation? It's not one of David Cameron's "top five issues"

The democratic deficit levelled against England as a nation is attracting increasing attention, but hear David Cameron:

"Sour Little Englanders".

David poses as being English, but let's face it national loyalties are all in the mind and Mr Cameron has bragged about "Scots blood" in his veins (whatever's that?!) and made bizarre jingoistic comments that some of his forebears:

"...were Scottish Empire builders - conquered all sorts of parts of India, I think."

Mr Cameron has been very happy to nip up to Scotland to diss the English on many occasions.

And as for the EU? Oh dear, whilst many want more say and doubt the benefits of the EU, Mr Cameron says:

"The vast majority of the British people want to stay in the EU. From the very next day our businesses will flounder and be unable to export to the EU."

The vast majority of the British people want to stay in the EU, Mr Cameron? When was the referendum? And the stuff about our businesses floundering and not being able to export to the EU is pure hogwash.

The Tories did well in the local elections only because New Labour has been so unbelievably awful. But the Tories could wipe the floor with the opposition if they would simply make democratic parity for England their priority.

But with David Cameron at the helm, that isn't likely.

And dissention in the ranks is not noticeable.

Perhaps being an Opposition MP is simply too comfortable these days, and the glittering rewards offered to gravy train riders from an EU future far too glittering to resist simply for the sake of democracy.

Whatever the reason, Cameron and Co are not in politics for the benefit of the people of England.

David Cameron Tells Lies About The EU

David Cameron irritates the hell out of me. Not quite as much as Gordon Brown, but he still does.

Cameron is the man who tells those of us in England who don't like health apartheid, the West Lothian Question and the Barnett Formula and who want parity with Scotland that we are "sour little Englanders".

Cameron is the man who speaks proudly of having ancestry who were involved in a "Scottish Empire" and brags of having "Scots blood" flowing through his veins.

Cameron is the man who tells us in England that the Union is everything. Far more important than health apartheid, etc.

Cameron is supposed to be in Opposition to the Government - but it's rarely obvious. Are the Tories SO comfortable that they simply don't want the bother of governing?

And are they, like so many other career politicians, eyeing the glittering prizes available to them through a continuation of the current undemocratic EU set-up? I mean let's face it, integration and interaction on a tiny planet is all to the good, but do we really want dictatorship?

But Mr Cameron thinks its commendable - like Gordy and co, he's willing to tell lies about what would happen if we pulled out of the EU. I'm guessing that he is telling lies. Because I don't think any leading politician could possibly be so thick as to spout the following nonsense in good faith:

Question to David Cameron: Why would you rather be in Europe rather than govern, why don't you want a landslide victory that that policy would give you?

A. The vast majority of the British people want to stay in the EU. From the very next day our businesses will flounder and be unable to export to the EU.

Utter nonsense. Read it all over at "Is There More To Life Than Shoes?"

David Cameron - A Racist Himself!

David Cameron - racist slime.

David Cameron has, quite rightly, condemned the BNP, but is guilty of a form of racism himself. Against every man, woman and child in England.

David Cameron does not have the Barnett Formula or West Lothian Question on his top five list of priorities, and as for health apartheid - he doesn't even mention it. Dying in England? Well, the Union comes before your life.

Quote: "I would rather have an imperfect Union rather than some perfect constitutional construct that would threaten the Union."

And Mr Cameron has also been revealing his Scots jingoistic natire, informing us that his maternal grandmother's family:

"...were Scottish Empire builders - conquered all sorts of parts of India, I think."

Note, not BRITISH Empire builders, but Scottish. Read the full article here -

David Cameron tries to fool us into believing that he is English. He is not. Nationality is largely a state of mind. He actually does not care for the English at all. He can't possibly - or he would be up in arms about the fact you can die in England for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland, or that prescriptions are free to millionaires in Wales but in England they are soaring and many of us can barely afford them, whilst not qualifying for any financial assistance.

David Cameron talks of the "Scottish Empire" and flags up his own apparently mixed UK origins, saying we must all be British, whilst accepting that in Wales and Scotland people can also be Welsh and Scots and have their own national representative bodies and higher spending.

For those desiring parity in England, David Cameron has nothing but contempt: "Sour Little Englanders!"

David Cameron is just as bad as the British National Party and Gordon Brown. David Cameron sits by whilst people in England die for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland and muddies the water as best he can to prolong the disparities. To keep England as the poor relation in the UK.

David Cameron has no room to go talking about the BNP. The man is a hateful, racist muddier of facts himself.

David Cameron

David Cameron in Edinburgh yesterday: "This is where I stand, here in this great and beautiful capital, an English politician in a Scottish city saying clearly today and for all time that Britain comes first."

Ooh, strangely bursting with pride about Edinburgh this "English politician", isn't he? One would almost think he was Scottish. Perhaps that's because he is. Scottishness is a state of mind, like Englishness or Welshness, and Cameron, who brags about ancestors who were "Scottish Empire builders" "conquering all sorts of parts of India" and "Scottish blood" (there's no such thing) in his veins, is clearly not English.

And so, in his speech in Edinburgh yesterday, Mr Cameron underlined his plans for the English under his government:

1) England can NOT expect an end to health apartheid if it threatens the Union. Just go on dieing or going blind or suffering with your cancers, dears.

2) England can NOT expect an end to the Barnett Formula if it threatens the Union - just go on forking out and getting crumbs in return, dears.

3) England can NOT expect an end to the West Lothian Question if it threatens the Union - just go on accepting dictates, dears.

And then Mr Cameron tried to crawl up the backsides of the Welsh - claiming a Welshman designed the NHS - (the English had nothing to do with the concept, did they, dears?) and ignoring the fact that the NHS no longer exists. Health apartheid is rampant. The "NHS" in England is NOT the same NHS as in Scotland or the same NHS as in Wales!!

David Cameron does not give a damn about England. He doesn't care if you die in England for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland, or scrimp and save for vital prescriptions free to millionaires in Wales. He does not speak for you. I cannot help wondering if the guy is suffering from some sort of mental illness, so blinkered and jaundiced is his view, so uncaring, insensitive and basically racist is his outlook.

But he can't be as mad as the Conservative Party. Is the gravy train so comfortable that its MPs never want the bother of governing again? What on earth are they playing at, letting David Cameron lead them?
