[applauds loudly]

Maybe the inevitable David Cameron/Tory sweep back into office will do the trick, if there's no SNP/Green/SSP breakthrough for Holyrood next year...

Indeed, Jack McConnell is already getting itchy at the prospect, warning Cameron and co. about messing too much in the future.

Sheesh - Labour - shower of eejits. No matter what way I look at this, the Union surely can't last for long? Surely?

On another note - and a curious one at that - a great many English people feel completely disenfranchised from the Union also - that much is obvious, and frankly I can see their point (What a gaff for this would be Scots PM to call, British day????...).

English nationalism is consequently on the rise - whilst this will certainly act as a catalyst, it'd be nice for Scotland to vote herself free before it's entirely obvious how unworkable the current situation is.

I 'spose it still realises the ultimate dream - but imagine, looking back at the history books to read about when 'England had had enough - the break up of Great Britain'. Somewhat ironic ( ... )

I just came accross your LJ as your latest post contaned some Welsh, but your observation on Brown's foolish idea/plan is spot on. I do however think you're being a tad unfair re. English nationalism. Many in Wales (Labour mainly) like to cast Welsh nationalists as fascist and racists which is completely out of order. I read the 'Campaign for an Engllish Parliment' blog, and it's a good read. There are one or two tired anti-Welsh and anti-Scottish comments, but it's mainly due to frustration rather than anyhting more sinister (I hope), otherwise there's some real strong arguments for 'symetrical' [sp?] devolution.

Hey benbore

Agree totally with your observation on Welsh nationalism, and I have absolutely no problem at all with English peeps embracing their own country either [it seems almost a sin for them to do so!] but I do think there is a genuine fascist element to English nationalism ( ... )
