Possibly foolhardy but you cannot dispute the chupaz of one Europhile, a certain J D Bovington, Horsforth has issued a challenge to EUsceptics.

He wrote in the Yorkshire Evening Standard apparently for the umpteenth time I challenge eurosceptics to state which new sovereign power is being transferred exclusively to the EU. There is no [...]

The letters page of my local newspaper the Shropshire Star has developed into a reasonable significant online community platform for debate on matters related to our government global warming and the EU.

The British Prime Minister waxing lyrical about a United Kingdom, in the Telegraph perhaps he and his party should have thought about that before they constructed this asymmetrical mess of the British constitution.

But when secessionist forces are loudly at work it is not the time for silence and [...]

There has been a lot of angst in the press about the refusal of the government to allow retired Ghurkhas the right to live in this country if they retired before 1997.
EU Referendum is compelled once again to point out the lack of understanding exhibited by the British media and even the leader [...]

WOW!

The short answer is because the Labour party would loose influence over England because they would never gain a majority in an English Parliament. And it would make Westminster even more redundant that it already is, if that were possible.
But Helen Goodman decided to opt for the longer answer in her reply to a [...]

Front page of the Telegraph today Labour`s secret council tax database penalise properties with a view.

Although I am an atheist and do not normally concern myself with religion, I was looking for another blog link to keep company with Cranmer when I found this quote for a post about Halloween on a Witness blog.
