What is England? Her wealth is based on the past sweat of the working classes of the Midlands, Lancashire, Tyneside, Wearside, Yorkshire and Cumberland. Cheshire has contributed a lot. However, the wealth, as far as many of the best jobs are concerned, is concentrated in London and the Home Counties.
Stout Devonians and Hampshire folk went to sea, from Plymouth and Portsmouth. Those of Kent staffed the warships based at Chatham.
Harwich, Lowestoft, Gt Yarmouth, Hull and Grimsby, North Shields sent their people to sea to reap the rich harvest of fish.
London had its docks, and all the industries associated with them.
What is England?
Cockneys now live in North Essex, as the docks have been closed, the car factories are moribund and all the industry has fled. The great coalfields of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Northumberland and Durham were abandoned by an uncaring government twenty years ago in their efforts to emasculate the working class. The steel works of Sheffield, Scunthorpe, Consett and Cleveland went the same way. The Tyne now builds no ships, and former thriving industrial sites are now art galleries, marinas and unaffordable, jerry-built, gated communities for the privileged.
Nottinghamshire wimped out of the struggle.
What is England? England is a small enclave of people trading ephemera such as stocks and shares, working on a currency that is not backed by manufacturing or even by gold. England is a little bit of the former England. England consists of the South East, commuting, MacDonalds, gated communities and a vast sub-class existing on benefits on windswept ex-council estates, unloved, unpoliced, underadvantaged and kept quiet on an endless diet of junk food, junk TV and cheap lager. England is the middle class in Bicester or Elsenham; Coggeshall and canterbury, and sod everyone else.
The Scots, Welsh and Irish helped to build England. Clyde-built ships, Coal from Alloa and its environs. Good Welsh anthracite - excellent steam coal. Irishmen, fleeing from famine and oppression, built our railways through sweat, death and suffering.
We replaced shipbuilding, engineering and mining with call-centres, that are now moving to India. We sit on massive quantities of coal of high quality, but we have stopped mining it and, instead, we have to buy gas from Russia and we but coal from South American states that still use child labour. Why? Because some people can make massive profits, and dole out a bit of this largesse to keep their well-heeled slaves in their detached houses in Pinner.
What is England? It is the square mile of the City of London. Nothing else matters to these oligarchs. Abandon the union, abandon the regions,abandon hope.

IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT NEW LABOUR'S CLASSES IN BRITISHNESS ARE ONLY FOR ENGLAND!!!!!
This is because England has no cultural identity.
There is no English national costume; there are no English folk songs etc etc.
Have you noticed thdt Englang cannot even produce managers.
Spokesmen almost always have foreign accents or are Scots or Irish. The others are all second generation immigrants.
I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ENGLAND IS FIT TO RULE ITSELF ANYMORE.
The country allows free immigration so that it can exploit foreigners.
There must be thousands of doctors and nurses stolen by the government from third world countries to tend the whites in the hospitals. This is just plain evil. It is a modern slave trade.
WHEN GORDON BROWN GETS INTO POWER, NEW LABOUR WILL ENSURE THAT UNDER THE GUISE OF MULTI-CULTURALISM, ENGLISH KIDS ARE TAUGHT TO SPEAK WITH SCOTTISH ACCENTS.
England is just a second rate country. It could go independent but it would just be another Portugal.

you obviously dont know what you are talking about, if England wanted to do that, the scottish could quite easily cut all the oil and electricity that Scotland provides for England and what about all the water that you get from Scotland when you have your draughts, you clearly have not thought this through, get back to the drawing board will you, but if thats what you want if you are old enough to vote on you go why dont you vote in a scottish prime minister to keep control of england, oh yeah you forgot that one too gordon brown ring a bell

Great idea. Leave the rest of us alone and move yourself into the middle of the North sea. Alternatively, you stay where you are and we can move our bits off to Hawaii or similar. They probably have better tele there and less 'half inch of snow fell on London, it's a National Emergency' type biased news reporting.

Yup. Oh, but Bruce C, bear in mind that the oil belongs to the Scots, the water to the Welsh. So, what happens when the Scots cut off our oil, and the Welsh our water? OOPS!

What if you are a British family? If we split can we stay where we are or do we have to return to the Country we were born in?
If so my son would go to Scotland, and my daughter to Wales. My hubby and I would have to stay in England! I don't want to split up my family and we don't want to emigrate!!
