Bigots know no limits. I’ve put the word ‘bigot’ in the link as an attempted Google-bomb. If you have a website/blog, I urge you to do the same if you agree.

The following is a letter published in the Wolverhampton Express & Star on 1 September 2005:
Outside the British Isles, England is often, erroneously, considered synonymous with the island of Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales) and even with the entire United Kingdom. In many ways England has seemingly been absorbed within the larger mass of Great Britain since the Act of Union of 1707.
The Campaign for an English Parliament aims to put this right. There has been a decisive resurgence in English self-identification and awareness. This tide will not be turned back.
Love of England is as legitimate as love of Scotland and Wales. The people of England include everyone for whom England is both their home and future, irrespective of ethnic origin, religion and culture. For our nation our own parliament is our constitutional right.
We call on all MPs from English constituencies, all political parties and on every citizen to campaign for an English parliament.
Alan Davis, Hall Street East, Darlaston.
I wholeheartedly support the tone, content and intention of this letter and I urge any of you who agree, and particularly those of you in Sussex, to write with similar sentiments to your local newspaper(s).

Most people who have access to any sort of news at all must be wondering what the US has been doing. It seems incredible that the US had not planned for the disaster in New Orleans given that:
- … they had five days notice before the hurricane
- … a quick search of the internet shows that the chance of New Orleans flooding was known about for years
- … the US is the first world country
It is positively disgraceful that there are people still in need of evacuation FIVE DAYS after the disaster!
It is despicable and evily unforgiveable that people are looting for non-food items and shooting rescue craft and attempting armed invasion of hospitals. Just watching the pictures of the rescue efforts and the disaster unfolding makes any normal observer angry, sad and dismayed in equal measure. It is difficult to imagine the civil unrest happening anywhere else in the world including the north of the US. The infamous events of 11th of September 2001 and 26 December 2004 were not met with such ridiculous behaviour.
I want to give to charity to help the people that the US seems incapable of helping, but I am not convinced that they can help during what looks like an apocalyptic civil war. The police have the most horrendous job I can imagine, and the people who suffer are the poor of New Orleans.
