What a fabulous sentiment. But as I look at the poster a million dreads run through my mind.
I am not allowed to air my views as I will be arrested, even though the fears are created by experience.

Devolution has created a United Kingdom in which Scotland has its own national parliament and Wales and Northern Ireland each their own national assembly as distinct nations.
England has nothing. The British government refuses to give any such political and constitutional recognition to England. The Scottish Parliament has made Scotland at least 70% independent of the rest of the UK in the most important areas of government like Health and Education, and Wales and Ireland are demanding that same degree of Home-rule. But England as a nation has no such political and constitutional recognition in the UK at all. What is worse, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs can now make decisions on the internal affairs of the people of England, even be ministers for England's internal affairs, while no English MP has any such power in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom is now a most unbalanced Union, in favour of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and against England. It is a great injustice to the English people.
