Obviously I share your view that we must quit the EU and establish an English Parliament (there should be a national referendum on this in England just as there was in Scotland before the Scottish Parliament was set up) - but we can do these things without breaking the UK Union up. I want the Union of the UK to continue - and I think there would be majority votes for the Union to go on in all four parts of the UK if referendums were held today.

One of the biggest threats to the Union is this Labour shower in power at Westminster. By refusing to give England a Parliament of her own (just like the one in Scotland) Labour are causing anti-UK feeling to rise in England. Labour claim to be Unionist but their policies are weakening the UK.

No wonder Scottish 'National' Party (SNP) leader Salmond has a big smile on his face these days.
