Cameron is desperate to head off Farage. I'm more interested in what Gordon Brown does next, though.

Talking of Farage:

'The English are 86% by population of this Union. They’ve been left out of all of this for the last 18 years. We still have a situation where Scottish MPs can vote in the House of Commons on English-only issues. I think what most English people want is a fair settlement.'

Hang on, doesn't his party have the words United Kingdom in it?

No problem there; a fair settlement would be abolition of the devolved assemblies and a true union, with one law across the whole state. It's easy enough to be pro-union and pro-fairness.

Bollocks.
What is fair about a political system that has given rise to an elite and an underclass?
Imposed government from afar is colonial rule.
Anything that can unite George Galloway, Nigel Fruitcake and the Orange Order automatically repels me.
