A lot of people seem to see Billy Bragg as the saviour of the English people – he’s a proud Englishman, he’s reviving English folk culture and fisking politicians who want to destroy our country. However, his interview with Christine Constable, Chairman of the EDP, last night on 18 Doughty Street tells a different story.
In his interview he promotes the European federalism and regionalisation. He calls for regional government with artificial regional identities rather than a national parliament for England. He is, in reality, advocating the abolition of our nation and its subsumation into a Federal Europe.
But surely Christine Constable put him right, surely she put across the case for an English Parliament and corrected him when he made inaccurate statements? No, she sat there and let him take control of the whole interview. She didn’t correct him when he came out with the most fundamental misconception about English nationalists’ objection to Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish MP’s getting involved in devolved issues – it is not Gordon Brown’s nationality that is the problem, it is where he was elected. If Gordon Brown was English and elected in Scotland, it would still be unacceptable because it is the fact that he has no say on devolved matters in his own constituency but does in England that is wrong.
The interview was truly awful and Billy Bragg went away with the same misconceptions that he arrived with. I sincerely hope the EDP don’t use the interview to promote their cause.
The British government, acting on instructions from their masters in Federal Europe, have abolished our right to privacy.
No Mandate Brown, the One Eyed Wonder of Wankistan, left the Treasury months ago but the effects of his clandestine tax and spend policies are still being felt.
