I WAS interested to hear Gordon Brown's remarks about preserving the United Kingdom. However, I think that he is missing the truth.

The biggest threat to the continuation of the United Kingdom is posed by Mr Brown and the Labour Party.

If he wants everyone to be British then he must treat all its citizens equally. If the British National Party campaigned to discriminate against black people or Muslims, Mr Brown would denounce them as racists and his lackeys within the Labour Party and the liberal media would applaud him.

However, when Mr Brown campaigns to discriminate against English people, his lackeys within the Labour Party and the liberal media support him. Why?

For those of you who believe the propaganda of the Labour Party and the liberal media here is the uncomfortable truth. The Labour government with the full support of Mr Brown gave the Scots their own independent parliament, but denied one to the English.

Not only do the Scots have their own parliament but also MPs from Scotland can come to the UK parliament and vote on purely English issues. The Scots have their own minister in Cabinet; the English are denied one.

Why am I denied an independent national parliament, is it because I'm English?

Under the Barnett Formula English people pay more taxes than their Scottish counterparts. Yet a Scot has more of the taxpayer money spent on them than an English person does. Why do I have to pay more taxes than a Scot, is it because I'm English?

Students in Scotland do not pay tuition fees, students in England do.

The elderly in Scotland have free long-term care, in England pensioners have to sell their homes to pay for it.

In Scotland cancer sufferers get expensive life- saving drugs, English patients have to die. Why are the Keighley Three denied Velcade? Is it because they are English?

In Scotland they have democracy, the Labour Party treat England as one giant rotten borough.

At the last election in England held on May 5, 2005, known to the English as The Day Democracy Died In England, the main opposition party polled 60,000 more votes than the Labour Party, yet the Labour Party got 93 more seats in Parliament. Explain that one Gordon?

Is it because I'm English that I am not entitled to democracy?

Mr Brown wants a United Kingdom where everyone is equal, but his race, the Scots, are more equal than others.

If Mr Brown wants to preserve the Union he must do three things: Firstly repeal all the anti-English legislation that his party have put on the Statute Books.

Secondly promise not to treat the English as second class citizens as the Labour Party do now.

Thirdly to make England a democracy again, so that no matter which party gets most votes, that party get most seats in Parliament.

If Mr Brown does not do these three things the Union will crumble and it will be the fault of him and his anti-English legislation.
