I have mentioned before about the anti-English bias at the BBC.
Now see this at the CEP blog.
It has all the hallmarks of the usual anti-English cultural genocide. The blithe assertion that there is no such thing as Englishness, followed illogically by the assertion that Englishness is somehow evil or dirty (remarkable properties for something that doesn't exist), the Empire slander.
I'm not going to debate the rights and wrongs of Empire here, but I will point out the following - it was the British Empire, and Britain is the creation of the Scots. The creators of the Empire, and the personnel on the ground were also predominately Scottish.
It is only by pretending that Englishness is non-existent or racist or dirty (which it certainly isn't) that the UK can rationalise the destruction of Englishness Sovereignty, the denial of democratic expression, and the genocide of our identity.
