[Daily Telegraph-Monday April 23 -2007]
Happy St. George's Day
[And don't forget it is Shakespeare's
birthday TOO!]
You are , no doubt preparing to wear
your red rose to work or are packing the children off to school sporting
a corsage of bluebells and primroses that will be a splendid
supper party with such English culinary delights as
Lancashire hotpot or
shepherd's pie
followed by readings from the works of the
Bard
whose
birthday also happens to fall today. In London Ken Livingston will lead
the taxpayer-funded celebrations as Morris dancers and hobby horses
process through a capital festooned with flags bearing the
Flag of St
George
while revellers will drink far too liberally of those
quintessential flat bitters that knock other , darker, ales into a
leprechaun's cocked hat. splendid
Dream On.
THIS is THE DAY that DARE NOT
SPEAK its NAME.
If you turned up to work with a rose in your lapel it
would be assumed you were on your way to a wedding.
[Just before we got to above line we
were reminded of the wonderful TV personality -no longer with us -but
his work will live for ever -we are talking about the wonderful and
irrepressible
Rigsby
who in his quest to meet a blind date wore the
red rose
which led him to accost the leading lady of a wedding reception in the
hotel bar and the hilarious consequences afterwards,. this was indeed
ENGLISH
Humour at its Best.
While the
Welsh
-would feel naked on
St David's Day
-without their
daffodils
or leeks,
and the
Irish
are happy to wander around in the
middle of March wearing what looks like a handful of wilting spinach,
the
ENGLISH
-would merely be embarrassed sporting
their floral equivalents.
A
Scot
reciting
Scots Wha Hae or Ye Banks and Braes
o'Bonnie Doon
-might have a tear in his eye and a
tremor in his voice; most Englishmen would have trouble remembering more
than a few lines written by their greatest writer. And an invitation to
celebrate both the
English National Day
and
Shakespeare
-in a combined replication of
St. Andrews and Burns nights
-would be regarded with a mixture of
puzzlement and suspicion.
Unless
Richard II
is being performed somewhere tonight,
there will be renditions of
John of Gaunt's
speech about:
" This royal throne of kings, this
sceptr'd isle
This earth of majesty, this seat of
Mars
This other Eden, demi -paradise...
This blessed plot, this earth, this
realm,
his England..."
(Ok. I looked it up)
To be fair to Mayor Livingston, he has
made a gesture towards
St George
At the weekend there were a number of
events in the
CAPITAL
-including a formal march organised by
the
Royal
Society of
St. George
and
English Music and Dance.
-performed in
Covent Garden.
*
The Globe
-hosted a birthday party for
Shakespeare
-and the cast of
Spamolot
-the Monty Python musical, will tonight
seek to break the world record for the number of people playing in a
coconut orchestra.
NOW
-that must make you feel proud to be
ENGLISH.
Maybe this is all about to change.
ON
MAY 3 -2007
-the
Scots
will go to the polls and a
VICTORY
for the
Scottish National Party
[We wish them the victory they deserve
because when they achieve their Freedom it will also lead to English
Freedom. We hope all who live in Scotland that have loyal links with
England will give their full support for Scottish Independence]
The SNP will not win an outright
majority and will find it difficult to secure a coalition if it insists
upon honouring its pledge to hold a referendum on
INDEPENDENCE
LABOUR-THE TORIES AND THE LIBDEMS ARE
ALL OPPOSED TO SEPARATION
[We believe that a separation would be
an opportunity for ALL the nation -states on our Island to form a
stronger
UNION
As we likened before in the case of a
married couple after a divorce (if there are any such couplings left)
the parties in many cases soon realize that the grass is not greener
when they are apart and decide to join together for their joint benefit
which bonds their togetherness with a stronger UNION. That has been the
EDP manifesto at the 1997 General Election and the 1999 European
Election. We are pleased to hear the comments of the SNP leader about
these matters with which we heartily agree and we wish him and his loyal
friends a wonderful VICTORY.]
*
THEY WON THEIR DESERVED
VICTORY!
BUT PERHAPS THERE
SHOULD BE A REFERENDUM [We don't
agree because in the first place England also needs to have its
devolution and an
English Parliament at Westminster
It is ironic that the lion has had his tail twisted
without so much as a murmur from those who have taken an Oath to protect
the
English Constitution
The very Act of
English Independence
leaves each nation-state to either
agree a federal union
or to remain
Independent Nation States.
There is the EU element to consider -would an Independent
Scotland or Wales wish to remain in the European Union to enjoy the
wonderful hand-outs or join with England in a federal union outside of
the EU.
It has to be first things first and
that means an
ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
* Mr Johnston
continues:
[Referendum] It
should be held north and south of the border.
This matter needs to be resolved.
-and we have to do so in the 300th year of the
UNION
-so be it. If the
SNP wins 40 per cent of the vote or
thereabouts, why should its promised referendum be vetoed by a party
that secures a quarter of that?
However, British constitutional matters are not devolved to the
Scottish Parliament.
They remain reserved to the national legislature at
Westminster.
[The Scottish people could decide to have their own
UDI
and with the world looking on
Westminster
would have no alternative but to give
way. We are talking about the
tripartite body in the Commons which have broken every rule in the
Constitutional Book over the past ten years and since the conspiracy of
the supposed EEC over 35 years.]
Mr Johnston:
Furthermore, a Union is exactly that: why should the other half of the
divorcing party not have a say in the matter?
[Well one has only to look back to the case of the
Dominions where it became obvious that the daughters had grown up and
now intended to keep house without Mother butting in and though at Law
the agreement could have been rescinded -it would never be because the
family members had
MORE SENSE
Scotland and Wales are our close
relatives and they too wish to keep their own houses in order without
interference from England though they may wish to retain links in regard
to DEFENCE and SECURITY in our
shared Island Home.] *
Mr Johnston further states:
So, just as both parliaments of Scotland and England were
required to pass legislation in 1707 to ratify the
Treaty of Union
which too effect 300 years ago next Tuesday, so should
the people of both countries have a say if there is to be a parting of
the ways, and do so with their eyes open.
The principle of self-determination means, of course,
that one country could not stop the other doing what it wanted. BUT the
SNP, as far as we know, is not proposing unilateral secession.
The received wisdom has always been that, in a double
referendum, the Scots would vote for
INDEPENDENCE
-and the
English
to retain the
UNION
I SUSPECT THE REVERSE IS THE CASE
An opinion poll just before Christmas indicated that
while the Scots would like the nationalists to be part of the GOVERNMENT
in
EDINBURGH
-they did not want
SEPARATION
YET
-at the same time there was an exceptionally high level
of support in
ENGLAND
-for a breach.
[Well the tyrannous
Scottish cabal in
Westminster and the
devolution with their own Parliament and the high cost to the English
taxpayer has much to do with it and the anger that England has not been
considered in the devolution stakes which has further alienated the
growing number of English voters.]
[Each underlined word above has a separate bulletin on
Scottish matters.]
*
HOW HAS IT COME TO THIS?
Fifty years ago, the question would never have arisen.
Not until the late 1960's, around the time of the first barrels of North
Sea oil came ashore, did the SNP make any breakthrough. Devolution was a
bid to arrest what was seen as a slide to
INDEPENDENCE
Instead, it probably hastened it. Is anyone surprised
when we made so little attempt to defend the
INTEGRITY of the UNION
-which with its [many] flaws, was one of the most
successful and enduring political systems in the world, the foundation
of an EMPIRE, the crucible of
DEMOCRACY and ENLIGHTENMENT?
For goodness sake, which other nation would celebrate its
300th birthday in such a mealy -mouthed way, with the minting of a £2
pound coin, and that's it?
Do you remember the spectacular bicentenary parties
thrown by the Americans in 1976, or the French in 1989?
Where is the pomp and circumstance we do so well?
WHERE IS THE LEADERSHIP?
it was all well and good for Messrs Blair and Brown
rushing to man the barricades with panicky articles in this newspaper a
few weeks ago; but the fort had been overrun while they slept.
Even though some polls suggest a joint referendum held
tomorrow might result in
SEPARATION
-a campaign in which the arguments were fully debated
would probably pull the peoples of both countries back from the brink,
though it would be a close-run thing.
[Mr Johnston has just mentioned the words
BOTH COUNTRIES.
-from such a description one envisaged that each country
had its own
Parliament
As we all know their is a
Scottish Parliament
BUT
NO
English Parliament.
And when one considers that 87% the land area of the
island is the home of the
Kingdom of England
-and that that country's taxpayers in the South East of
that country keep the rest of the island afloat economically then of
course there is intense anger and resentfulness' by the
ENGLISH.
Mr Johnston further says:
That at least the people of England should have a say in
the MATTER.
As Chesterton said,
They have not spoken YET!
*
[We will remind our viewers of the full transcript:
'Smile at us, let us pass; but do not quite forget
For we are the people of
ENGLAND
that never have spoken YET.']
*
We disagree, as the self-determination of the Scottish
people is a
MATTER for SCOTLAND.
And that if there is a referendum offered it should be to
enable an
INDEPENDENT ENGLAND
with
An English Parliament
AT
WESTMINSTER
[Run by the English for the English]
OUT OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
*
[The question of the progress of path to an independent
Scotland has always been in the heart of such a people and from
the 1930's from a small band of loyalists they now have their OWN
PARLIAMENT and in a few years THEIR INDEPENDENCE.
Governments particularly after WWII were always nervous of
the Welsh and Scottish growing feelings for their identities and
government official documents made this clear in the regional
development. To think for a moment that the situation would not lead
eventually to a need for another compromise Union in the future was
pushed under the carpet. It was and is today in April 2007 the
POLITICIANS -Government and Opposition who have failed to
anticipate the reality of the situation and have had a 21st century
answer to the QUESTION-THIS THEY HAVE NEVER DONE.]
