Political Economy

So says the National Museum of Afghanistan. If you go and visit the current exhibition at the British Museum you will get some idea of how ancient this culture is http://bit.ly/fzBANs.

The Taliban famously tried to destroy the culture by destroying its artifacts and inflicting their strict version of Islam on the country. Whilst much was destroyed the curators of the museum secreted the objects away that are now on display. They were only able to bring them back on display in 2003 once NATO had driven the Taliban out.

Afghanistan has had numerous groups come and go over the millennia.  Some of the golden artifacts on display were over 4000 years old and belonged to a bronze age civilization with what appear to be links to Mesopotamia.

The Greeks arrived under Alexander the Great and built the great city now known as Ai Khanum. This city was lost in antiquity and was replaced by a local civilisation, then by Persia, India, the Mongols and so on.

But however courageous are the curators of museums the Afghan culture or for that matter the English culture will not stay alive unless it stays alive in the hearts and actions of the people.

The Labour plan to crush English culture by allowing wave after wave of mass immigration to swamp our schools, to change the way of life of the people of England, to denigrate the very name “England” will not be ended by the wholly inadequate measures of the coalition government.

The policies of the English Democrats will do this. Having a devolved parliament and government of England, with fiscal devolution on devolved matters, will allow the English culture to be protected and promoted just as the Scottish culture is in Scotland and the Welsh culture is in Wales.

A referendum to leave the EU and the end to all mass immigration will allow immigration on the basis of fitness for the job and for a limited period only when no local people can do the work.

The removal of all illegal immigrants and a strict application of the convention on asylum which requires refugees to settle in the nearest safe country to their own will reduce the excessive demand being placed on hospitals, schools and housing.

Giving local people priority in housing will not only return natural justice to the social housing market, it will make England a less desirable place to emmigrate to.

Putting an end to multiculuralism and expecting everyone in their public life to respect and follow English values and ways of doing things, including speaking English for all residents, will protect and expand English culture.

Putting an end to political correctness will mean that the large amounts of money spent, and wasted, in this area can be directed towards the less well-off young and elderly.

The suspension of the European Human Rights act and its replacement by a sensible English variation will allow the deportation of immigrants and asylum seekers, who commit crimes, to their country of origin. In a number of cases this will cause those intent on criminality to think twice about their actions.

Policies like these are often branded as racist by knee-jerk anti-English groups. But actually not one of these policies is based on racial or ethnic criteria. English Democrat policies are based on a cultural identity. Englishness resides in the heart and so can be adopted by any person of good will.

If you want to preserve the culture of England as a living thing, as a matter of the heart, rather than an artifact in a museum, the Conservative party will not do this, the Labour party will not do this,  the Liberal-Democrats will not do this nor will UKIP, not the Greens and certainly not the BNP.

Only the English Democrats are wholly committed to the fundamental proposition that “A Nation stays Alive when its Culture stays Alive”. Vote English Democrats on the 5th May.

Westminster is in a mess.The Economy is a mess. The war in Afghanistan is a mess. And British politicians in the main parties do what comes naturally. They dump on the English.

So the heavenly duo (they come from up there after all, don’t they) have come up with the bright idea of selling off English Assets. Gordo’s list of quick sales; the Dartford tunnel, the Chanel tunnel, the Tote and so on are all English. When he says that he will be asking local authorities to make sales of their assets he is referring only to English local authorities.

Note that he will not be selling off Scottish assets, even though the two worst offenders in the current Banking crisis are Scottish Banks. That is because Gordo, when he worked on the legislation to form the Scottish Parliament and give the Scots Home Rule, made quite sure that it completely protected the assets of Scottish local authorities so that Westminster could not direct the sale of their assets as he can those of English local authorities.

This means that every school playing field, every public space, every local airport, the pride and joy of the local people as well as a source of employment will be up for sale, quite possibly to foreign European companies flush with back-handers from their governments. And are they going to employ local workers or will they bus in their own people?

However when it comes to preserving their own power and egos it isn’t just plundering English assets that the heavenly duo are so good at. They also deal a good hand in cynicism. On Wednesday  14th October 2009 the government announced a plan to spend £12 million in 130 white working class wards. Where is this money coming from? From the £16 billion of English Assets. In other words the Labour government intends to buy votes in next years general election by returning to the English less than 0.1% of the money it gets from selling their playing fields, leisure centres and employment opportunities.

The Tories are no better. Despite the fact that their web site calls them the English Tories their leader, David Cameron, is on record as saying “I do not want to be the Prime Minister of England”. Well Mr Cameron, the Leader of an English Parliament would be the First Minster, as in the Scottish Parliament. Only someone totally uninterested in England and the English could make that mistake.

The best that can be said about the Liberal Democrats is that they simply ignore England.

Only a few days ago the Sun newspaper transferred its allegiance to the Tories from Labour. Gordo’s response was proudly to  announce that it wasn’t the Sun that would decide who ruled at the next general election, it would be the British People.

Wrong, Gordo! it is the English people, as always, who will decide who rules next.

Will they vote for Gordo, the financial genius who sold off more than half of England’s gold at $275 and ounce or $3.5 billion when at today’s price of  $1063 per ounce it would have been worth $13.5 billion, the financial genius who claimed to have put an end to booms and busts, the financial genius who claimed to have saved the world?

Will they vote for Cameron, surely he must be a Scot, who cares so little for the English that he has stated that he doesn’t even want to lead them?

Will they vote for Nick Clegg, a man indifferent to the aspirations of the English?

Or will they vote for a party that will put England first, that wants England to be a nation once again, a party that cares for England, English jobs and English assets?

Only time will tell!
