“I’ve always felt very proud of Wales and being Welsh. People are a bit surprised when I say I’m Welsh. I was born in Wales, went to school in Wales and my mother was Welsh. I’m Welsh. It’s my place of birth, my country.” - John Prescott
The Hannah Mitchell Foundation, the latest attempt to balkanise England, has announced that proud Welshman John Prescott is to be their patron.
More details at The Guardian and Halifax Courier.
One campaign supporter, a Mr Graham Jones MP of Accrington, went to great pains to stress that The Hannah Mitchell Foundation was an inclusive, non-partisan campaign:
No to an English Parliament and No to continous Tory rule.
A Tory run England has no democratic mandate in the North. In fact no English Parliament can ever have a democratic mandate because it will never represent other parts of England.
Most northerners value being northern before English. The North-South divide is now as huge as ever following Osbornes unfair austerity. The idea of an English Parliament is dead.
It's for northern people to decide their destiny, not as suggested above for southerners to impose a Tory English Parliament. (which is what this is)
What an auspicious beginning.
