"English patriotism is strengthening", claims Robin Tilbrook Chairman of the English Democrats.

A shaft of sunlight illuminates the Cross of St. George against the backdrop of a menacing thundercloud. 

A recent poll on English identity, questioning just over 20,000 adults, conducted by YouGov for the BBC produced some interesting results.

In general the poll suggested to me that the further away from London you go the greater the sense of being English becomes.  In London over a third of those questioned did not feel English at all or not very strongly – disappointing, but hardly surprising given the pattern of recent mass immigration.  In the rest of England the percentage of those identifying strongly as English was approaching a very satisfactory 85 per cent!  

As for the creation of an English Parliament, 41 per cent were in favour with 24 per cent against.

Robin Tilbrook, Chairman of the English Democrats, commented:

“The English Democrats are delighted to hear that the BBC's latest Poll, due to be published on Monday 4th June, finds more and more English people being proud to be English and wanting England to have our own national Parliament and our own Government. 

Could this be not only the product of the 40m leaflets the English Democrats have now distributed, but also from watching our Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish neighbours getting unfairly favourable treatment from the British Government and from the growing realisation that the UK and Westminster system often operates against the interests of the English Nation and that therefore we need our own English Government to look after our nation's interests?

The latest research shows that English patriotism is strengthening!"
