'Poland was partitioned in the 18th Century between Austria, Prussia and Russia and ceased to exist politically until 1919. Despite 150 years of partition, the Poles never forgot that they were Poles. We English are now becoming the “Poles” in partitioned Britain.'

Let's hope we don't suffer the same fate as Prussia!

He wrote a wonderful essay, but perhaps needs to become a member of an English Nationalist Party in order for his vision to take shape as reality.

I laughed at his story of the piping father in the house as my English father used to play bagpipe records full blast in ours. He was in the Cape Town Gordon Highlanders when he was young and pipes were in him for life. He had marched for miles in a kilt and one of his favourite cities was Edinburgh. :-) But he was a staunch Englishman and he taught this to me and so I share this with a ferocious gleam in my eye and would die for the heritage this place has bequeathed. Or at least I used to feel that way, but since discovering what dreadful misfits now parade up and down as "English", and equally awful manifestations attack anyone who dares to want independence for our homeland, I fear the age of our glorious folk may have waned.

On the other hand, when people begin to use their strength and it shows up in articles like this, one does detect a small glimmer of hope. To keep a bonfire going one needs much more than a small glimmer, but to start one all that is needed is a spark.

If that spark exists and if that potential for a bonfire is there let it begin burning as one drop of water can put out a spark ... and there are several drips on this forum who would be only too happy to oblige.

Yet more muddled thinking. There's precious little about England. Typically, for someone with a Scottish connection, there's far more about Scotland and Scottishness!

Most of his personal reminiscences are irrelevant to the case for a separate parliament and executive with devolved powers and a ring-fenced budget for the people of England!

All individuals like him succeed in doing is associating the campaigns for an England Parliament with racism of one kind or another! No surprise then that it's being given prominence by david H!!!

Pardon me - in advance - for daring to strike a dissenting note! No doubt all the usual fascists and enemies of England on this forum will be quick to condemn me!

And what "enemies of England" would those be, then?

Cassie, I have no Scottish connection - you should not jump to conclusions about people you have never met nor know the name of. If I were Scottish I would not promote the views of a Campbell.
You do nothing but attack English nationalists and try to stir up dissent among those you profess to be with.

David! You bring nothing of value to the discussion. :-) You are shifting ground. :-) You are a spy :-), a troll :-), a Scotsman :-)... Oh, I'm just too upset to even think about what else you might be. You might even be an Englishman ... ARGH!!!!

Oooh, you really came close to a "snap" exclamation from me there. You got so brave you forgot the raincoat and the false moustache. :-) Keep it up. You're going to unmask yourself soon, by default because you aren't much good at this. I hope your aliases haven't been breeding.

You really are a case sonny! I was referring to that daft link you put up with Post#70 by Ian Campbell. It is YOU who should not jump to conclusions!

Take the beam out of YOUR eye!
