Tim's Rant!
At last we see the back of Tony Blair and his disgraceful presidential style of government! I will remember Tony Blair not only for his shameful Middle Eastern crusade but also for his systematic destruction of everyone's basic freedoms and the ruination of Britain. He has created a health & safety obsessed nanny state and has imposed tax after tax after tax on everything he can.
Now we have a bloody Scot as Prime Minister who has the gall to pretend he stands for a united union of Great Britain. Gordon Brown doesn’t just lack a mandate as Prime Minister because he wasn’t elected with the intention of him being Prime Minister, he lacks a mandate on the vast majority of legislation because his constituents in Scotland only elected him on reserved “Scottish” matters.
Gordon Brown pledges to improve the “British” education system - there is no “British” education system, it is a devolved matter. Gordon Brown only has a say on the English education system but who in Scotland voted for him for his policies on the English education system?
The same goes for every other devolved matter in Scotland - transport, environment, police, to name but a few - who in Scotland voted for Gordon Brown for his policies on these English matters?
Gordon Brown has no democratic mandate to govern England. No MP elected outside of England has the right to be Prime Minister until England has a devolved government of its own. It is unconstitutional and undemocratic for a Prime Minister to have responsibility for policies in England over which he or she has no say in their own constituency.
Scotland and Wales have been recognised as countries and their people given the opportunity to vote in referenda for devolved government. Scotland now has a parliament, and Wales an assembly. In contrast, the people of England have been denied the opportunity to choose an English Parliament. Instead, England is being dismembered into nine regions. I find this discrimination unacceptable. England should be a political entity with its own parliament and executive.
