A GREAT Britain Team (November 29)? Scotland 4, Wales 4, Northern Ireland 4, England 0. How is this score possible?
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have parliaments or assemblies to represent them, England doesn't.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have a Cabinet Minister and a whole department that looks after their needs in the UK Parliament, but England doesn't.
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have a UK Government committed to recognising their cultural heritage, their individual rights and traditions, but England doesn't.
The Government has started talking about how we should all think about ourselves as British. It doesn't work in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Don't you wish you were voting for an English Parliament next time?
