Peter Hain - another celtic Labour minister who thinks the English don't matter

Just heard Peter Hain, Radio 5 live - just before 7am, managing to trot out today's MacLabour party line on why the English shouldn't be recognised as a nation in our democracy.

Picture shows "Peter" celebrating the plan to introduce law making
powers in his native Wales with the Welsh First Minister - something he wants to stop for England !

He uses the daft analogy of the day about cross rail and only London deciding. Quite honestly if cross-rail just affected London I don't see why it shouldn't - but it impacts Berkshire and Essex also - but as an ignorant MacLabour member or perhaps a deliberate misleading minister - they do lie and spin you know - that doesn't matter.

And anyway why doesn't his argument apply to the tram system in Edinburgh ?

Hain then moves on to Labour favourite policy for England - calling it the British regions !

If the English Labour party doesn't stand up for England then it should look north of the border to the Scottish Conservative party to see its future.....

And finally MacLabour should stop putting Scotsmen and Welshmen up as spokespeople to tell the English why they don't exist as a democratic nation.

Peter Hain is a Welsh MP born in South Africa.

He is sec of state for Wales.

I bet if you ask him he'll say he's Welsh - or do you think you need to be born in a country to have that nationality. ( Be careful here as the CRE will be after you if you answer in the affirmative ).; 2:58 pm

He really ought to be exterminated too.; 9:48 am

The pound in your pocket

"We used to think that you could spend your way out of a recession and increase employment by cutting taxes and boosting government spending. I tell you in all candour that that option no longer exists." James Callaghan

“The trouble with theoretical economists is that they don't understand that when you have a deficit, you can only finance it by borrowing, and you've got to persuade people that it's worth lending money to you and that they'll get their money back... there's no way of escaping it.” Dennis Healey during the 1976 Stirling Crisis.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens ... Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of over-turning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." John Maynard Keynes, 1920.

"To preserve [the people's] independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude." Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America,1801-1809.
