This coming Saturday, September 6th, the CEP will be holding a rally in the market place in Berwick-on- Tweed in Northumberland to demand that England has its own parliament. CEP members from Cheshire, Cumbria, London, County Durham, Yorkshire and Essex will rally there to put the case to the people of Berwick for an English Parliament.

Berwick is the most northern town in England, right on the Scottish border. By reason of its location it is one of the places in England which is being made most aware of the unfairness and injustice to the English people of the way devolution has worked out. The resentment is quite bitter. There is the same resentment being keenly felt in English towns and villages along the Welsh border in Cheshire, Shropshire and Herefordshire. Scotland only four miles from Berwick thanks to having its own parliament gets free tuition for its university students, and that even if they attend English universities, free eyes tests for everyone, free personal care for its elderly, a three year freeze on council tax, and the latest and the best cancer and eye treatment drugs; in Wales all prescriptions are free as is hospital parking. And both nations have self-rule in their own internal affairs, their distinct nationhood being constitionally recognised.

The United Kingdom is now unbalanced and lopsided. It favours the Scots and the Welsh while imposing the tax burden to pay for the benefits they get upon the English. Each English tax payer pays an extra £281 a year to subsidise these benefits but does not get them themselves.

The rally will take place on Marygate, Berwick on Tweed, Saturday Sept. 6th from 1 to 5pm. All are welcome to join in.
