A view from Gloucestershire in this letter published in the Western Daily Press on December 12th. I am sure R.A.Hopkins speaks for all English patriots and those who cherish the unique beauty and character of the English countryside.
War raging over the English countryside.
England is a country at “war” with its own MPs affiliated to so-called incongruous “UK main parties” – they exist only in England. Concerned people all over the country are up in arms as a callous Westminster desecrates our “green and pleasant land” with millions of houses.
Blame rests with England’s 530 MPs who approved Westminster’s crass National Planning Policy Framework turning England’s planning system into chaos.
Though constituencies may have the support of their MP in the fight against local desecration party loyalty comes first so they merely “rearrange the deckchairs”.
So called “UK main parties” have no primary allegiance to the country nor people of England so why are we still having to vote for MPs affiliated to such incongruous parties?
England is the only country in the democratic world whose MPs are not affiliated to national political parties – and it shows. By contrast self-governing Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland cherish their countryside championed by MPs (and MEPs) affiliated to their own main national parties.
England is the third most densely populated country on earth with 407 people per square kilometre so it needs more people like “a hole in the head”.
Our political representatives are not building “Jerusalem” in England’s green and pleasant land they are the agents of its destruction.
England must join the real democratic world with our 530 MPs (and MEPs) affiliated to national main parties – English Labour, English Conservatives, English Democrats etc. Only then we will have a government that is “on our side” – perhaps for the first time since the act of Union in 1707.
