Sunday Telegraph - Union with Scotland in danger

The Telegraph has an article talking up the Union but with some interesting poll results from England, reflecting the results of flawed devolution for Scotland under Labour. Things will only get worse for the Union with the SNP in power in Scotland and a Scottish Labour cabal in power at Westminster.

What England needs is our own Parliament, free from the votes and interference of unaccountable Scottish MPs, in a new and democratic settlement that is fair to England.

The Union with Scotland is dead

Says Simon Heffer in the Telegraph, recognising the fact that seems obvious to all but our current government and opposition parties. The tide of opinion is definitely turning but we still need to demand an English Parliament loud and clear.

Labours's flawed devolution is to blame

for English disquiet - say Tories, but they still won't grasp the nettle instead there is to be an English Grand Committee.

Why not exclude Scottish MPs altogether - and have an English parliament?

Alex Salmond's game plan

To play the English question for all it is worth - to the SNP.

Warms your heart to see we English are so useful to ambitious Scottish politicians, of all parties.

The Tories have a plan for the English question

but it isn't an English parliament, just English only votes on English matters rehashed.

I don't know why the Tories can't just come out and say they will give England's people what they need to have real democracy in this country again - an English parliament. I'm sure this would be a vote winner (in England).

Advice for the English from Alex Salmond

who tells us to stop complaining and make our public services better - like in Scotland. The article is here:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/28/nsnp128.xml

Well maybe we can, Alex, when we get control of England's services back from the Scots who currently dominate our government.

Gordon ignores the people

He said he would listen to the people, but he won't - he'll sell us out to the corrupt EU dictatorship this week.

No change there then.
