I have read the letter Proud Scot happy with the Union' and appreciate Andrew McLuskey must be laughing up his sleeve at his suggestion of a state of the south-east of England.

Is there any truth to the rumour that Scotland is to be sold to a German tour operator? Perhaps Andrew could inform Harold Trace Britain doesn't have a National Health Service any longer, only a regional or covertly privatised one?

Is this also Liberal Democrat policy and has Andrew received permission from his leader to tell us? I agree that when the New Labour set up Scottish and Welsh assemblies it set up a major process of devolution, without a referendum.

It could lead to the slippery slope of England withdrawing from the Union. All we need is an English people's referendum and all immigrants will have to move to Scotland or Wales.

What we do have is a 21st century version of slavery with Gordon Brown's financial shackles to make sure the rich get richer and the poor poorer, particularly the old and infirm.

The human animal is tribal and always will be, even though New Labour would like to change it. How many English must walk the plank of immigration before sanity reigns?

Gordon Brown is promoting Britishness as you would expect a Scottish MP to do.

This is England, the only country in the United Kingdom without an assembly to deal with domestic issues. Surely this is against the Magna Carta or even European Convention of human rights?

There is 10 times more inequality in England today than there was before New Labour was elected to Government, as well as financial, racial, religious, political and sexual antisocial behaviour.

This has been created by legislation that is unsustainable an unenforceable.

Equality according to the dictionary is state or instance of being equal (evenly proportioned, balanced or uniform).

Today everyone is equal but some are far more equal than others.
