England Matters - Statement of blog

The intention is to illustrate the full scope of the anti-English environment by quotes and links pointing to the original factual material. Whether the source of material is right, left, centre, all three or something else, is of no concern. The question is, 'Is the article based on facts?'

The suppression of the English*
This blog has been created in response to the British establishment's apparent resolute purpose to continue with their dissolution of England and the destruction of 'English' as a single national identity. It joins a growing band of pro English blogs and will hopefully help towards raising awareness, and countering the spin, omissions and distortions, which it seems are spouted by the British on an almost daily basis, and which seemingly are delivered with that divine authority which is reserved only for the 'Honourable', or perhaps more particularly the 'Right Honourable'.

British MPs continue to deny the English their right of democratic parity with the Scots and the Welsh. The Scots and the Welsh were rightly and justly granted referenda on the establishment of their own Parliament and Assembly. But the British Parliament which still retains full dominion over its English subjects, refuses those English subjects the same democratic opportunity as the Scots and the Welsh.

They, the British autocrats proclaim that an English Parliament would lead to the break up of the UKs, (United Kingdoms), which suggests that they already know the likely result of an English referendum on the issue. This makes their refusal if anything even more undemocratic. Their policy seems to be, 'Deny the majority a vote because we their British rulers won't like the answer'. The lives of forces personnel from the UKs (United Kingdoms) are being expended in imposing democracy on far off lands, while at the same time their British masters obdurately withhold democracy to the English at home.

Meanwhile the British Parliament's schemes for the disintegration of England continue their relentless advance. An advance largely concealed behind a front line firing salvo upon salvo of dogma, spin and deceit. When regionalisation cannot be accomplished by referenda it is imposed by political dissimulation. The solution for the rebirth of England as a unified nation lies in the General Election ballot box, but time is getting perilously short. Let's hope the mass of English voters wake up before it's too late.

Whether it's to be rebirth, demolition by regionalisation, subsumed into the EU superstate, or ousted by foreign laws, languages and cultures which have been imposed by the British Government, the ultimate responsibility devolves on to the English electorate.+

The British Parliament and its anti-English discrimination.
The interminable discrimination against the English is merely a symptom of a fundamental disease. The source of the infection seems to be the British Parliament, not the Scottish and Welsh people. While the English remain subjects of British MPs in the British Parliament, there seems little hope of an end to the anti-English statutes and the consequent anti-English perspective.

What fair minded person who values justice and fairness could fail to feel legitimate anger at the blatant anti-English discrimination demonstrated by the case of Abigail Howarth 18, who was told that there was no point in her submitting a job application in her own country, England, because she is white English? Are the British Parliament and the misnamed 'liberal' socialists who it leads, the perfect example of tyrannical hypocrisy? Rightly they outlaw discrimination against ethnic peoples, but then seem to legislate to allow discrimination against the English in their own country.

To discriminate in favour of someone, (so called positive discrimination) means to discriminate against someone else, (negative discrimination). For positive discrimination to exist there must be negative discrimination. The one cannot exist without the other. Discrimination against the English is actively legislated for by those who give the impression of rampant oikophobia in the British Parliament, some of those who call themselves 'Honourable', or 'Right Honourable'. Some of those who affect to abhor any discrimination wherever it may occur. If that's not complete and utter hypocrisy, I don't know what is.

Many members of the British establishment are so quick with their accusations of racism and bigotry, maybe they should look in the mirror. On further examination, it appears many of them are the ones who the are racists and bigots of the most ruthless kind, but their target is the white English population.+

"It is high time for Me to put an End to your Sitting in this Place, which you have dishonoured by your Contempt of all Virtue, and defiled by your Practice of every Vice;

Ye are a factious Crew and Enemies of all good Government; Ye are a Pack of mercenary Wretches and would, like Esau, Sell your Country for a Mess of Pottage; and like Judas, betray your God for a few Pieces of Money; Is there a single Virtue now remaining amongst you?

Is there one Vice that you do not possess? Ye have no more Religion than my horse! Gold is your God: Which of you have not bartered your Conscience for Bribes?

Is there a Man amongst you that has the least care for the Good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes! Have you not defiled this Sacred Place, and turned the Lord's Temple into a Den of Thieves by your immoral Principles and wicked Practices? Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole Nation.

Your Country therefore calls upon me to cleanse the Augean Stable, by putting a final Period to your Iniquitous Proceedings in this House, and which by God's Help, and the strength He has given Me, I now come to do.

I command ye, therefore, upon the Peril of your Lives, to depart immediately out of this Place;

Go! Get out! Make haste, ye Venal Slaves, begone!"

Oliver Cromwell 1653.

"The Establishment is dead

The Establishment is dead. But something worse has replaced it

"The Political Class is distinguished from earlier governing elites by a lack of experience of and connection with other ways of life. Its members make government their exclusive study. This means they tend not to have significant knowledge of industry, commerce, or civil society, meaning their outlook is often metropolitan and London-based. This converts them into a separate, privileged elite, isolated from the aspirations and the problems of provincial, rural and suburban Britain."

"It has now evolved two novel methods of communication, both of which estrange its members from the voters they are supposed to represent."

"This has become arcane, always self-referential, often concerned with the techniques of voter manipulation and relying on the anti-democratic assumption that there are matters which ordinary people are either incapable of understanding, or which it would be too dangerous for them to know."

"In general the Political Class is infused by an unbending hostility to all centres of power or values which it cannot control or manipulate."

"Peter Oborne is a contributing editor of The Spectator. His book The Triumph of the Political Class is published by Simon & Schuster on 17 September."+

'This new Political Class has emerged over the past three decades to become the dominant force in British public life...'

PETER OBORNE: The rise of the sleaze-ocrats in Britain's ruling class

Five years ago I spent several weeks in Zimbabwe reporting on the way that President Mugabe was brutalising his people, in part thanks to the inertia and complicity of the Tony Blair government.

After I returned, Sir Patrick Cormack, a Conservative Party backbencher, invited me to his room. He wanted to ask what questions he should put to a government minister who would soon be giving evidence on Zimbabwe to the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons, of which he was a member.

So I told Cormack about a strange event that had occurred the previous month. President Mugabe had been invited to Paris by President Chirac for a summit meeting. This example of European approval of a barbarous dictator caused uproar.

When Downing Street was asked about the episode, it gave the impression to reporters that it had neither been consulted nor informed, while ministers spoke out angrily against the invitation.

In fact I was able to show Cormack evidence that the British government had known all along about the invitation, raised not the slightest objection, that its protestations of ignorance were false, and that the angry pronouncements by ministers were no better than a cynical device. I suggested to Cormack that he should expose this wretched business at the Foreign Affairs Committee, and offered to draft him a list of questions.

Sir Patrick gazed around his large and beautifully appointed Commons office. He looked appalled. "Oh, I could never do that," he stated. "It might embarrass the Government."

Since then I have often noted Sir Patrick nod with vigorous approval from the Conservative side as Tony Blair spoke from the dispatch box. I have seen him cross the floor of the House to offer sympathy and support to a government minister in trouble.

I have also been reliably told that he wrote a letter of rebuke to a younger Tory MP in a neighbouring constituency who attacked the Government. "That is not the sort of thing we do in Staffordshire," declared Cormack.

Cormack has his fans who believe that he represents a 'civilised' kind of politics. I cannot agree. Voters put their MPs into Parliament to represent their interests and articulate their concerns, and sometimes anger, not to form part of a comfortable club, or to collude with opposition parties.

Sir Patrick is one of hundreds of Members of Parliament who now belong to a Political Class that has become entrenched at the centre of British politics, government and society. +

In a period of so-called globalization and in spite of basic notions of consumer rights it is odd that there are still people who want to force consumers to buy things they do not want. If a corner shop sold potatoes only on condition that the consumer also purchased a tin of beans, three jars of coffee and a toothbrush, it is highly likely that this business would soon have no customers. No matter how inventive the shop keeper became in trying to force the sale of fixed combinations of products, it is evident that his best route to success is to sell products individually, so that customers can buy the combinations they want.

There is an important principle here. The shopkeeper provides the customers with the freedom to select what they want without trying to coerce them into buying something they do not want. This free flow of business also represents a free flow of information and the shopkeeper realizes that certain products really are in demand so he orders more. By providing freedom of choice and paying attention to the free flow of information both the shopkeeper and customers are happy.

When it comes to political parties, there is no such notion of offering the electorate any comparable freedoms. Political parties issue manifestos or lists of “policies”, that is the list of linked products they want to sell. Like the bad shopkeeper mentioned above, they will not accept the fact that a consumer might be attracted to one policy but does not want another one. So the political party members drive themselves into a sort of intellectual grid-lock which results in the typical phrase, “As a member of the so-and-so party, I believe in policy1, policy 2, policy 3,…….. and policy n.” This has been the depressing and drab banter of British politicians for most of the last century.+
