ARMCHAIR ACTIVISTS

All letters relating to an English Parliament and the resulting disparities and which have been spotted, are posted and held online. You can see how many there are, or refer to them if you get writers block at any time. The link HERE
will take you to the most recently posted, but you can go back in time to see how those letters have increased in volume and a much bolder tone. A full 89 web pages of them so far. And many of them are down to your efforts. Well done again. Stick with us. It really is volume that counts.
YORKSHIRE POST LETTERS

From: Della Petch, Burdale Close, Driffield, East Yorkshire.
IF you're really feeling the squeeze over increased stealth taxes, you could easily hop over to a neighbouring country which offers free dental and eye checks, free prescriptions, free hospital parking, no tuition fees, free nursing care, lower council taxes, free access to a multitude of cancer treatments should they be needed, no fishing licences, cheaper transport, better roads, no bridge tolls, no road tolls, a promise that ID cards will not be necessary, lower house prices, fewer quangos and a totally separate national government to us in England, which insists on higher funding and then passes on the savings to its own people.
Where is this land of milk and honey? Why Scotland, of course. Their recipe for success is simple – Labour, Tories and the Lib Dems dare not charge them the same taxes as they charge the English, or the Scots won't vote for them to sit in the Scottish Parliament.
The resulting farce is that each is offering even more tax cuts to the Scots in the form of further reductions in council taxes taxes.
We don't have that same power of persuasion, because our votes to the British government are somewhat watered down by the Celtic-fringes and we don't have a national government to make their mouths water for our English votes.
They each insist that because England is the majority in the UK, we must make sacrifices to keep Scotland in the Union. Look at that list. Aren't our sacrifices already too high? It's time we demanded equal treatment and equal democratic rights in the UK in return for our English votes.
They rely on us for their over-plumped privileges – not the other way around. It's now time they were reminded of that, before the next life sacrificed for want of life-saving drugs is one of your family members.
