On the basis of the correspondents letter below copied from the Northern Echo letters page, & the FEP working with other patriotic parties - Who are the English ? The Humber to the Forth was Northumbria & Cornwall was separate. Is this why the English Democrats had their love in with the SNP last year as they have much of the centre ground in common ! I suggest, as a true patriot you are both British & Unionist , not a fraud Anglo/celtic nationalist with no patriotic history. Only UKIP & BNP meet the real requirement of patriotism & they should have nothing to do with the little Englanders !.

St Cuthbert - Comment -
CT Riley accepts Christopher Wardell's contention that St Cuthbert was a Scot (HAS, Mar 29). I don't.

Cuthbert was a native of Northumbria, which at that time extended from the Humber to the Forth. If "Scots" were to be found anywhere then it was in Ireland and in Kintyre. The kingdom, which later accepted Irish influence to the extent of renaming itself as Scotland, did not yet extend south of the Forth.

Those north and south of the Scotland/England border need, if they wish to know themselves, to recognise that they share Britons and Angles as ancestors.

advertisementNationalism seeks to assert a bogus uniformity within its boundaries and to exaggerate differences across them. Not that regionalism would be any less inclined to promote a simplistic identity that suits the convenience of the administrative unit.

The labels "Scottish" and "English" derive from relatively small and late ethnic inputs to our island. A more appropriate term for us all would be "British". It is unfortunate that this has been devalued by a delinquent government negligently bestowing citizenship.

What a load of drivel!

You ask: "Who are the English?" and then go on to talk about territory, viz Humber to the Forth, Northumbria & Cornwall!

You might care to unscramble your brains and marshall your thoughts into some kind of logic. While you're about it, you might also care to define what YOU mean by the silly term 'little Englander' and tell us whether there are also any such animals as 'Little Scotlanders' and, if not, why not?

Little Englanders were the MPs who opposed imperial expansion in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Little Scotlanders are short men with red hair.

Or honey. I believe some Yeti's find this irresistible. One thing is certain, if the hunter comes from a certain quarter of the internet "activist" community, and the quarry is a girl Yeti the hunter will die of revulsion at the sight of it and end up laid out for the ants covered in his own honey. The Yeti will be sporting a trendy new handbag the following Spring.

I am also prepared to overlook the really nasty personal attacks made on me and my close colleagues - and made by two ED NC members! And as I still hold some of the EDs in high respect, then we can keep the communcations with them open and switched to recieve as well as send.

I would add that a necessary pre-condition of a free England is our early exit from the EU, and I do not see why some co-operation is not possible with UKIP. I accept that UKIP has - at present - far greater resources and electoral credibility than the new Free England Party.

I would like to hear from my Free England Party colleagues how they feel about this outbreak of peace!

Now back to the 1 May elections...
Let's hope you are never silly enough to stand against another English Nationalist again !
