Scotland and Wales: The Pretend UK Celtic Nations Anti-Racism Blog

                         How do we explain someone like Andy? Well, he likes the Celtic myth (a 1707 linguistic label from Welsh Nationalist Edward Lhuyd - not an ancient UK ethnicity) and all things 'saintly' and exclusive about three of the UK countries. Look after the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish (don't mention Darien, disproportionate activity by the Scots in the British Empire, the partitioning of Ireland by a Welsh PM with avid backing of Protestant Scots, the invention of the Poll Tax by Scotsman Douglas Mason and its implementation there in 1989 by its own Secretary of State, Wales as separate factions and kingdoms, not an ancient, unified nation) and pander to their one-side retellings of history. And as for the far more ethnically diverse England? Stuff that! That is what we know. One-sided UK 'history' (three saintly countries, one demonic) obviously helped shape Andy Burnham's barely concealed dislike of Eng...

                                   King Charles cares passionately about the five million people in Scotland, who, of course, deserve to keep their devolved taxes, benefit from the unfair Barnett Formula out of English taxes (free prescriptions for millionaires and free tuition fees, etc), and so on. But the 57 million people living in England? Not so you'd notice. We are simply the disadvantaged, demonized rump of the so-called UK... A bunch of mugs... So, King Charles popped off to America and made Scotland his priority. Yep, he asked President Trump, as a special favour, to drop tariffs on Scotch whiskey. Great. Then he nips back to England and continues to ignore the fact that the Barnett Formula awards higher block grants to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, allowing free prescriptions for millionaires in those countries, while the most ethnically diverse country, England, which has no nat...

The Houses of Parliament - home of the so-called 'UK' Parliament - which discriminates against its largest, most ethnically diverse country, England, in favour of white tribal myths in Scotland and Wales. The interests of fifty six million people versus the privileges of eight? No contest. The Parliamentary hogs from all corners of the UK will never initiate just change, and will continue to demonize England - for as long as they can. The situation is not sustainable in the long term as more and more people in England, of all ethnicities, are beginning to wake up to the facts. Before anybody jumps to conclusions, I am advocating for needs based care across the UK, and equal democratic representation for England. Right Wing or Left Wing nowadays seem to be all trendy agendas and quite a lot of smoke and mirrors. This article is about fact, modernity and fairness for all. One of the biggest causes of artificial divisions between the English, Scots and Welsh is the use of the word...

Russell T Davies strikes a pose. Of course, in modern Britain everybody should be equal and we all should strive for togetherness. But he regards himself as Welsh first and foremost and has an agenda. Russell T Davies is very much a modern TV writer. He writes Coronation Street style dialogue ( Queer As Folk ) and uses other people's creations ( Doctor Who ). We don't find him very original at all. But Russell believes in a world without barriers of race, gender, etc. He believes in a wonderful present and future. Or does he? Actually, we believe Russell to be very bigoted indeed and the guy seems rather typical of a branch of the 'Woke' movement that is actually loaded with bigotry and spite. But only against accepted groups. Every era has its accepted recipients of bigotry, and for a very long time the English and England have been accepted targets. Russell used his early Doctor Who revival stories, for instance, to fire potshots at the English on several occasions....

We're Celts! We were here first! We are wonderful! We were oppressed by the English! Oh, do go away! The UK Government, which is cutting heating allowances for pensioners in England, is specially employing people who speak Welsh for enquiries in departments like Work & Pensions (DWP). Um, how many people in Wales speak Welsh fluently, if at all? How many people in Wales speak Welsh only and not English? Recruiting people specially to speak Welsh is a huge waste of money, while other things go hang. There are around three million people in Wales and they speak English. Quite a number of them are not even Welsh. This is not to say that people shouldn't learn Welsh, appreciate Welsh, study Welsh, etc, etc, but employing people to speak it specifically in 'UK' Government departments, and forking out money to attract applicants is absurd. The grip of asymmetric national devolution - the Barnett Formula (which was loathed as unfair by its own creator, Lord Joel Barnett) s...

Goodness! Scotland now has a First Minister, its own parliament, an unfair say on legislation passed for the much larger and ethnically diverse country of England (the West Lothian Question) and the Barnett Formula - reviled by its late creator, Lord Joel Barnett! Note how the Scottish Secretary of State (why do we need one now?) avoids any mention of England in his House of Lords speech, and is basically an anti-England, UK Parliament gravy-train rider, paid for by England, and continuing the long tradition of a racist, resentful elite in the UK - Scotland - a tiny country of five million, free prescriptions for millionaires, keeping all its tax payer money, and getting loans from the so-called UK Government whenever it wants. Cameron resorts to the disgraceful obfuscation technique of referring to the 'UK' as a country twice in his spiel. The UK is a NATION, a so-called union of countries. If that was not so, Scotland would hardly have screeched for it own parliament. The UK ...
