The £2,000,000 Reason Why The Main Political Parties Do Not Want A Parliament For England

The Conservative, Labour and Liberal-Democrats do not want to give the people of England their own Parliament. The reasons they give are varied. Some, such as Straw and Prescott are quite happy to insult the English cultural identity and care not that this is a deeply racist action, under the Race Relations Act, and also offensive, confident that their position will give them protection.

Why Am I Incandescent?

Over the past few weeks I, and on occasions my fellow canvassers, have walked a fair number of Stevenage Streets. I have knocked on many hundreds of doors and spoken to several hundred people.

Inside Education

Well it would have to be since I am a teacher. I have taught for 20 years. I feel worried for the system I have been part of for all these years.I have seen what various administrations have tried to impose on education. I have seen the imposition of the National Curriculum. On the whole a good thing as it determined what should be taught. Good schools did it already. The only regret here is that it stopped with core subjects. Testing was needed to get the standards going in the right direction. But we should have prepared teachers and schools for picking it up and used resources available to develop this assessment. A missed opportunity in my view.

Standing behind a pasting table draped in the English flag and carrying English Democrats election material is an interesting experience. Even if the location is draughty and there is no sun. Nature, being the perverse entity she is, ensures that when you are walking the streets it is sunny, hot and windless! It is at times like this that you need cheering up. And the people of Stevenage have never failed to come up trumps.

Gordon Brown And His Rich Friends

I received the following email message from Frank Roseman, the English Democrats prospective parliamentary candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster (http://www.voteenglish.org/london-candidates/). Interestingly it looks as though Gordon is a snob, always toadying up to the wealthy.
