Having finally gotten around to looking over the Millipede E speech at the Labour party conference one could not help but wondering just what 'One Nation' actually meant and did it (presumably) mean something completely different to me than it did to Millipede and the Labourites.
You see in our United Kingdom the clue is actually in the name, 'United' as in several united nations or kingdoms. That's why you're liable to find as with the Scots and Welsh being Scottish and Welsh, the English are increasingly English and not British. Yes there was some level of increased patriotism over 'Team GB' in the Olympics, but they're gone and the Cross of St George will re-emerge as the banner under which the English identify, much as politicians including those on the left hate the idea.
However as for the blog title whilst one nation for me means integrating the immigrants into the indigenous culture, I rather suspect that for Labour it means something else entirely. To Scottish Labour it will be a rallying cry against independence no doubt, but that's not why Millipede did it, a useful adjunct perhaps, but not an intentional one.
No, what Millipede and the rest of the comrades want is the subsuming of all cultures and nations into the 'British' one size fits all identity, particularly for the part of the UK which is England and which has taken the brunt of Labours disastrous immigration policies. Whereas in the past the left have hated nationalism and patriotism they've had to contend with the unpleasant facts that a lot of people in England were reverting back to their roots and not seeing anything remotely useful about the term 'British' particularly as it appears to have been hijacked by the multiculturalists as a prenom to other nations. Whenever I see the term British tacked onto someone's description say 'British Pakistani' then I automatically filter out the 'British' bit as they clearly do not consider themselves to be part of our 'One Nation' no matter how much the Millipede might like it to be so.
I suspect 'One Nation' is just a front for Labour to hide their multicultural agenda and innate hatred of the English, the 'One Nation' being British which isn't the same thing to me at all. I believe Labour will be perfectly happy for the English to remain or be forced to be British whilst everyone else can be their own (minority) nation within 'One Nation'
Btw, did anyone else feel nauseous at Millipede's remark that somehow he as a millionaire could feel our pain over the recession?

where's NI in this 'one nation' (and in this blog too btw)? I see they've removed the St Patrick's cross from their conference Union flag.

This is an English nationalist blog, not a British and not a UK one. At the moment the democratic deficit in the UK leans heavily against the English with my country being the only one in the EU without it's own parliament. Think yourself lucky in Northern Ireland that you have Stormont and home rule, at the moment the English languish under the UK parliament where Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish MP's get to vote on matters pertaining to my country when similar matters are directly devolved to them.
I dont want a devolved NI parliament. Its a total and utter waste of money, where feeble politicians deliver fuck all at great cost.
For the second time in 12 months I have had to report a crime - burglary last December and criminal damage this week.
On both occasions the police call centre woman seemed more concerned about my race - as if that is relevant. I was offered several choices of which race I could claim to be, including Welsh or Scottish. When I said I was white English, I was informed that I cannot claim to be that and that I will be recorded as white British.
I then asked why I was being denied my national identity and would I expect better police response if I was black or other. I was informed that the conversation was being recorded and could be passed to the relevant authority for their attention.
I then told her to forget my complaint for criminal damage, I would deal with it myself - she went into overload and told me that my 'threat' would be taken seriously. I told her it wasn't a threat but a statement and that I didn't really care - at which point I was informed that she cared because the police have a 'duty of care' - for the crims not the victims, it seems.
I wonder how her racial tick-box questionnaire looked after our conversation.
The son of a Polish Jew who got here in 1940.
How can he possibly think himself to be as English as those English folk whose roots in this land go back centuries?
Its absurd.
There is no way on Earth that I would trust my land to this man.
