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.

Why 2010 is so important... (part 2)
A thought experiment, if you will indulge me.
Forgive me, Iain Dale, for asking my readers to imagine your prediction is wrong. Imagine the SNP do better than you've predicted, or UKIP squeeze the Conservatives in a few key marginals. Imagine, in short, that the Conservatives fall a few seats short of an overall majority.
The clear choice of the English people would be a Conservative government, denied by the choices of voters in the rest of the United Kingdom.

The Anti-English Mainstream Media Bias
Over on 'A National Conversation for England' an interesting point about the General Election Leader debates, (2 posts, here and here).
As they rightly point out, these debates are being presented as affecting 'The UK', when actually many policies discussed at these debates will affect only England. This point is completely ignored by the Mainstream Media.
You will also almost certainly not be surprised to know that the BBC has created a Scottish History Portal. The Scots are clearly a proud people with a long, interesting, and eventful history. Judging by the English History Portal, we are slightly lacking in that regard (hat tip forengland).
