Anglophobic bigot, Peter Hain, has followed the Tartan Taxman by warning that the union is being attacked by the Tories and nationalists.
He tells the Welsh that “the contribution of Wales to the industrial development of Britain was enormous, helping to create prosperity and to turn us into a world power. In return, Wales has long benefited from support from the Treasury, with Welsh public spending almost £1,000 per head higher than in England.”
He repeated the Ignorant Jock‘s claim that nationalists and the Tories were trying to balkanise Britain – something Labour has already done with the regionalisation of England and the re-establishment of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as “nations” within his “nations and regions of Britain”
“By trying to whip up and then harness nationalist sentiment in England, they risk unleashing forces which can lead to only one thing: the Balkanisation of Britain. That would damage Britain and damage Wales.”
“Unless we see it off, it will prove a one-way street to the disintegration of the United Kingdom – and a one-way street to irrelevance for Wales.”
Not only is Hain a bigot but he is also a hypocrite. He openly reminds the Welsh that they are reliant on English taxes to balance the books and that without England, Wales is an irrelevance. Don’t get me wrong, I like Wales and in the past Welsh coal and water has helped our economy boom but nowadays Wales is a drain on English resources.
For the benefit of English taxpayers and for the benefit of Wales’ self respect, a fully federal union or complete independence is the only way forward. The balkanisation of Britain has already happened thanks to New Labour and their anglophobic devolution project. It’s too late to stop it happening and nationalism will keep rising no matter how many times these self-serving politicians talk about “shared values”.
Can someone tell me how the Conservatives are whipping up “nationalist sentiment” in England?
I’m not aware of a single policy proposal that favours the English!
Very true, after all, David Cameron referred to us as sour little englanders a few months back just becuase the English are now fed up of getting the shit end of the stick with anything to do with the Union.
I don’t blame the Scots for whats wrong with the Union, many decent Scots think it is not right that England does not have a voice. It is evil self serving, self interest groups namely the Liebour party that have done immeasurable damge to Anglo Scots relations.
I still think we should vote Tory though, to me, voting for anything else will just keep Labour in.
Peter Hain a hypocrite, how dare you, he is a supporter of that great socialist Robert Mugabe. He has not once said one word against his hero who liberated that forgotton country of Rhodesia( forgive me for swearing) I meant Zimbabwe.
This total piece of new labour shit never once mentioned Wales before he was minister and has never once uttered one word against his great buddy the murderous Robert Mugabe.
Wales would do well to dump him.
