2002.015 D001 - Regional assemblies betray the ancient kingdom of England

Click for pdf version

Regional assemblies are a betrayal of the ancient kingdom of England, which became a kingdom more than a thousand years ago, and still is a kingdom today - although subsumed into the United Kingdom. The kingdom of England was never divided into ‘regions’.
This threat would not stand a chance if English pupils had not been denied by trendy teachers knowledge of their nation’s history. They would have known that the Cornish do not wish to be caught up in some artificial ‘region’ called the South West. Cornwall is an ancient kingdom, with its own language. The novel region of the South West has no pedigree, and therefore no meaning.

Regional assemblies are designed to further the shallow EU concept of a Europe of the Regions. That is intended to subdue, then abolish, nation states. Instead, they will become mere local government areas.

We English must not let that happen.1
