EDM on English Independence

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Angus MacNeal, SNP MP for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Western Isles), has introduced an Early Day Motion – EDM 296 – calling on Parliament to give England it’s independence:

That this House welcomes the recent ICM poll showing a majority in both Scotland and England for English independence; feels that the time has come for England as Europe’s largest stateless nation to become visible again amongst the independent nations of the earth whose number has quadrupled over the 20th century from 50 to around 200; notes the benefit to the aggregate GDP of the British Isles of an independent Ireland; and asserts a belief in England’s ability to govern itself in the same manner as France and Germany without any direct help from the Scots.

Will the Scottish Raj ever allow England the right to govern itself?  Not much chance really is there?  Write to your MP and ask them to support EDM 296.

    Hurrah – that’s our local MP (I live in the Outer Hebrides) who has put the motion forward. He’s also the same MP who found out that it was illegal to basically sell peerages.

    I don’t think he’ll be on Mr Blair or Mr Browns Christmas card list 🙂

    btw if you want to see what it is like in this most isolated corner, then see pics here:

    “Thank you for your email dated 3rd December and I have no intention of supporting the Scottish National Party”

    John Spellar (Useless cunt) can you set up a google bomb Wonko???

    Nice pics John… bet it’s bleak in the winter up there.

    I’d love to visit but not until I have to show my passport at the border.

    Bleak: no. Dark, yes – but we get to see the northern lights a fair bit.

    When I am visiting family in Smethwick (most of my relatives on my mothers side live there), this isn’t really an option 🙂

    If/when you visit it may overturn any misconceptions.

    My problem is not with Scotland John – but with the Union.

    To John Kirriemuir, we English love the Scots, they are our brethren in these British Isles, we just hate this fucking government.
