Time for an English Parliment?

Scotland managed to stop England extending Sunday trading laws, that had a massive impact on millions of English workers! An the SNP were very very proud of it, even though it didn't effect Scotland at all.

Your default rebuttal, if someone disagrees with you, seems to be 'are you anti-English'....

Incase you were curious, I'm still waiting for your apology or evidence to back up what you've said?

After Scotland and N Ireland leaves, Westminster will be defacto an English partliament

So out of 173 post you find 3 examples out of which I said it once and that's your point? You didn't steal anyone's thunder. You did that on your own all by yourself kid.

But this a forum where a black women's centre is considered racist.

If you can then please find more , we all have a posting history- yours is very interesting but please post keep posting more of me calling people anti English, you've got 1 so far.

Infact if you don't find more I will consider You a failure, so please go prove me wrong.

No, you're not having an English parliament.

This is the time we need to be a UNITED Kingdom.

If you are part of a "Union" that is transparent, inclusive and works for all, I'd say "Stay and participate fully".

The SNP wants full independence, but what has Scotland got? 2 main cities, a finite supply of oil and some whisky exports.

Now Plaid Cymru wants full independence, but what has Wales got? 1 main city, defunct coal and steel industries, plus some sheep.

But England is a different story, for the moment.

There are already "parliaments" for Scotland and Wales, with limited powers for national issues. So an English "parliament" with the same powers seems logical and fair.

But all I see is a monster growing: bureaucrats begetting more bureaucracy and more bureaucrats. And that costs money, money the "Union" needs for other things.

You know as well as I do that what we've got doesn't even resemble a 'parliament'.

I have no problem with him at all, but he has called me racist and says he can prove I answer everything with "you're anti English"

Now the racist thing is fine, I'm not racist and that's all I need to know but usually moderators step in to delete the posts and issue warning. So it seems I have to accept being called a racist on a public forum and the moderators accept this. But the "you're anti English" thing, actually yeah I have to accept that as well on the cable forum. But I do forward all comments/ threads I feel suitable to social media sites and other forums.

The world has changed, the English are not your whipping boys, accept and get progressive or get left behind with biggoted views.

Tell that to the MSP's... Members of the Scottish Parliament. An it managed to prevent a change to English trading laws. Effecting the lives of millions of English people. An the remain votes of 2.5million scots seems to be reason for the Scottish parliament to consider overruling the votes of 17.5million British!

No, you use the 'report post' function and we'll decide what happens.

Why the hell would I want to tell that to MSPs? They have very little if any influence over my life.

Sorry for making you wait, I was at work until recently - this was the one I remembered.

Your anti English racist comments appear to go unpunished

Please show me a post where I called you a racist.
