British Democracy Forum - View Single Post - Recreation of Middlesex as a Political County

This all came up for discussion on the forum last year and I received support from most for the return of Middlesex.

Just a few points:

1. Middlesex already has official, legal status as a county. The county was abolished - but not the actual county. The county is represented (during visits to Middlesex by H. M. The Queen) its own Lord Lieutenant (who is first to greet the Monarch upon her arrival in the county).

2. Middlesex exists as a 'postal county' (western Middlesex commonly known as West London) and also Enfield.

3. The formal status of Middlesex as a county is confirmed in the Lord Lieutenancy Act.

As I've said before, I support a return not only to the pre-1974 county boundaries across the UK (before the europhile traitor Heath messed them all up) but a return to the boundaries which existed before the artificial Greater London area was established in 1965.

Therefore the artificial 'Greater London' area would be scrapped in order to bring back Middlesex. Middlesex boroughs such as Harrow, Richmond-on-Thames (northern part - Twickenham), Hounslow, Ealing, Enfield, Brent (Wembley) and Hillingdon (Heathrow-Uxgridge-Ruislip) would be formally 're-classified' as Middlesex - and not London - Boroughs.

In other words, Potters Bar (presently in Hertfordshire) would be returned to Middlesex for both postal and administrative purposes. Bromley (presently a London Borough) would come under the jurisdiction of Kent County Council again and Croydon would return to Surrey, becoming its largest town/city. Kingston-Upon-Thames, Richmond-Upon-Thames and Sutton-Cheam (all presently in London) would also return to Surrey. Havering and Redbridge (part of London) would become part of the Essex County Council again. Names such as 'Humberside', 'West Midlands', 'Avon', 'Merseyside' and Tyne and Wear' (invented by the disastrous Heath regime) would be wpied from the map of our country. Sutton Coldfield (now in Birmingham) would return to Warwickshire (as would Coventry) and Wolverhamton/Dudley would go back where they belong - to Staffordshire.

Whilst setting up the Middlesex County Council may not get public backing - pulling the Middlesex parts of 'Greater London' out of the 'Greater London' area would win wide support. Power should be returned from the Livingstone (i.e. red-controlled) Greater London Authority and returned to the Middlesex Boroughs (Harrow, Staines, Enfield etc.). Road signs should be placed at all entry/exit points to/from Middlesex clearly displaying the words "Welcome to Middlesex".

Both UKIP and the English Democrats should set up a joint campaign to achieve all this.
