Calman report urges: ‘Buy Scottish votes with English money’!
Today’s Report from the “Commission on Scottish Devolution” shows
the big three, Lib/Lab/Con, Unionist Parties ganging up against
Nationalists. Sir Kenneth Calman, the Chancellor of the University of
Glasgow urges that yet more English money should be used to bribe Scots
to vote Unionist to try to block the Scottish National Party’s call
for Scottish Independence.
English Democrats’ Chairman, Robin Tilbrook, said: “The Calman
Commission’s Report gives us English a rare glimpse of Unionist
contempt for English interests. It also shows how U.K. politics is
changing into a contest between Unionism and Nationalism. The Report
confirms that Unionists regard England as just a cash cow to be milked
to buy support from Scottish voters! English interests and protests
are yet again to be ignored in the scramble for Unionist power in
Scotland”.
Robin Tilbrook continued: “The Report’s approach is neither
democratic nor
proper and reflects a much more significant ideological corruption at
the heart of Unionism than even its politicians’ expenses claims.
Conservative support for this report also goes to prove that a
Government under David Cameron would be just as hostile to English
interests as Gordon Brown’s has been.”
Note: We all know what would happen if the Calman fiscal proposals were
put into operation: the English taxpayer, one way or another, would end
up making any shortfall in tax in Scotland. The problem with any halfway
house for Scots independence is that the Scots politicians know that no
matter how recklessly they behave England will bail them out. This would
simply be RBS and HBOS on a governmental scale. RH

That's well wide of the mark, Robert. You had better read the report
again. (Did you read it in the first place?)
