Because we need an English Republic based on the principles of Individual Freedom, Solidarity, Democracy, Collective responsibility, Co-operation, and Openess.
"The people who are regarded as moral luminaries are those who forego ordinary pleasures themselves and find compensation in interfering with the pleasures of others".
Bertrand Russell
For an English Republic
The idea behind this little blog is to provide a voice for Republicans, Socialists, Liberals, Libertarians, and anyone else who is interested in English independence, and fed up of all the 'Celt bashing' the rightwing pro-independence movement seem to go in for.
I was born and brought up in England, and I still live here now, however I welcome the goals of Scottish and Welsh independence and a united Ireland .
In order to achieve an independent England we need to work with the nationalist and republican movements in our celtic neighbours.
And did those feet in ancient timeWalk upon England's mountains green?And was the holy Lamb of GodOn England's pleasant pastures seen?And did the Countenance DivineShine forth upon our clouded hills?And was Jerusalem builded hereAmong these dark Satanic Mills?Bring me my Bow of burning goldBring me my Arrows of desire:Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!Bring me my Chariot of fire.I shall not cease from Mental FightNor shall my Sword sleep in my handTill we have built JerusalemIn England's green & pleasant Land.
