Most of you will have already seen the Telegraph article about Edinburgh Dungeons. For those who haven't, take a deep breath and remember, "it's just a joke." Or so they say.

Please write a polite letter - taking your own viewpoint on this, but polite nonetheless. We do want them printable - to the Telegraph and if you can, try to fit in demands for an English Parliament. The Company concerned is based in Poole, Dorset, so will be considered an English Company by readers who know. For that reason, if you want to express an opinion of the Edinburgh Dungeons, just say "Scottish Manager of...." That way, a printed letter can't be pilloried for getting it wrong.
The email address for the Telegraph is dtletters@telegraph.co.uk
Remember to be polite and level headed. Use the incident to bring up an English Parliament. No name calling. No bad language. We are all grown ups, after all. (and I'm mostly stating that for myself. I was more than miffed when I read the article, but we can turn it to our advantage. IF we can get the media to take it up. Anti-English stuff like this tends to get ignored in the mainstream media. Particularly by the BBC).
Do not direct your letters specifically to the Telegraph if you want to use the same letter to the other newspapers. For those who wish to, here is a list of email address (remember, this part is only for those who wish to make widoer use of a single letter. You don't have to do this part if you don't want to).

The Edinburgh Dungeons is encouraging visitors to bring in English symbols, such as Engish literature (Shakespeare, Brontes, etc), china tea cups and the English flag, where a Scotsman dressed in a kilt will cut them to pieces with a sword and urge the baying mob to continue fighting the English. The event is for Scots and foreigners alike, but the English are banned from entering unless they sign a pledge to serve Scotland.
I am sure the Scottish manager of this tourist attraction thinks this is very funny and that's their concern, but it is this kind of mentality which is dragging England down and backwards. Let Scotland remain entrenched, wallowing in past failures, but let England move forward to the future. We must have our own Parliament and put this rotting Union to bed once and for all. Enough already. We in England deserve better than this.
