    The Union

    No, not the lefty ‘want a day off’ bunch, the Union of Great Britain and that ghetto clinging to the edge of Ireland.

    Is there any point in it any more?

    It seems to me that the Scots want something different to the English in political terms. Not too sure what to make of Wales. The only good thing about Northern Ireland is a volcanic landscape. The sad thing is its volcanoes are extinct.

    The English are overwhelmingly conservative. OK, the north is a bit more lefty, in parts, and of course there’s the Socialist Republic of Merseyside, but they’re all Irish anyway.

    It is perhaps time to finally loosen the ties that bind the nations of Britain and let everyone go their own way and pay their own bills?

          Hmm, but something happened last night that might change that. There’s surely no way that the English would allow a Lab-Lib-Nationalists government when the conservatives have a huge majority in England?

          I’ve never been much of a fan of the English Nationalist lot because I see a lot of xenophobia among them, but I am getting the idea that perhaps England needs a sensible, centre right liberal independence movement. The idea of a cosmopolitan, libertarian England that goes it’s own way, and leaves all the history behind. The Scots seem to hate us. The Welsh seem to hate us. The Northern Irish are united only by their hatred of the English who pay their bills. So let them go.

                    How do you figure? Over 60% of individuals in England did not vote tory yesterday - some system
