Honest, George Monbiot (for it is he...) says you don't have to be an English nationalist (BBC translation = narrow minded fascist scumbag, silly) to be for an English Parliament. Now this is important, because George's opinion matters to (self appointed) intellectual thinkers in Islington (even though he now lives in Wales and has gone native) and they may have noticed the democratic deficit that exists in England where Scottish MPs can vote on English affairs without any exposure to English votes. Now this was bloody obvious to us people who think of ourselves as English but invisible in Islington. (hope you are keeping up here, proper Islington media folk would never say they were English, yuk) so we have to be happy that George has vocalised what we already knew!
Hard to believe?

The promised land? Only if we keep up the pressure and demand a proper democratic solution to the English question.
