When I wrote to my MP back in 2016 with my concerns about the Brexit arrangements he replied, " As Broxbourne's Member of Parliament, I shall be making every effort to ensure that the Government oversees teh UK's orderly exit from the EU and its institutions" Despite that the English Government was determined to transition come what may, so I wrote to my MP again, in the light of the Coronavirus and asked that the transition be extended, this is what he said. " I think there will be some constructive discussions around the EU transition timeframe". Clearly this could mean a whole range of things, but it seems to have meant that English colonialism will ignore the wishes of the Scottish and Welsh Governments and the interests of the British public regardless as the Government has yet again determined to exit the transition phase at the end of December despite the failing talks on the arrangement.
Some of us weep in despair.
Why is everything imposed in Britain rather than airing matters for open discussion beforehand? The BBC censoring the Last Night of the Proms is the most recent example - bombshell followed by outrage and heightened emotions. I for one think if we are to become serious as a forward looking integrating country then it is the right thing to drop the outdated RB and LoHaG. Politically, saying one thing then undermining with outmoded nationalistic songs is not the way to go. Bring on the grown ups.
ReplyDeleteVery funny about English colonialism. I think you'll find many English people would be happy to decolonise Scotland and Wales, though probably not for the same reason.
