Statement by the English Democrats' Chairman on the budget
It
is very disappointing to see the British Government yet again using its position
over England to pick on the English by disadvantaging English students by
entirely removing grants when these are still available in Scotland and
Wales. The
attitude displayed is of contempt for the English People who are just seemingly
viewed as the source of all the cash that the British Establishment chooses (all
too often) to waste elsewhere.
Also
George Osbourne’s much trumpeted “English Devolution” is of course nothing of
the sort. It
is not the national Devolution which has been given to the Scots and
Welsh. It
is merely a little measure of mere decentralisation introduced, ironically on a
top down basis, by the most over centralised State in Europe.
