I see the Guardian have updated their spell-checker we already know it replaces “English” with “British” but now it replace “Cross of St George” with “Union Flag” as well.
English Democrat flies the Union flag in Doncaster
Doncaster starts a new life this week under a leader from a party previously associated with minuscule numbers of votes at byelections and an obsession with the flag.
[...]
His other eye-catching policies were in the same vein: reducing councillors’ numbers by two thirds to 21 (which he almost certainly has no power to do) and holding a referendum on whether his own post should exist. It was created in 2001 after a referendum with a 25% turnout. Although the English Democrats are routinely called right-wing (every public building would have to fly the Union flag) and want tight immigration curbs, they out-zeal the Liberal Democrats in wanting devolution from Westminster, election of every post in sight and the reunification of dismembered Yorkshire.
Well done to the English Democrats in getting one of their number elected as Mayor of Doncaster. I don’t know why Doncastrians voted for him – whether it was for his euroscepticism, his English nationalism, his local policies or purely as a protest vote – but they did vote for him in large numbers and I’m sure we all wish him the best of luck in the English Democrats’ first foray into mainstream politics.
Now, back to the Guardian. The failed communists at the Guardian hate the very idea of an English Parliament, partly because their beloved Labour Party would probably never leave the opposition benches in an English Parliament and partly because they only like the nationalism of the “oppressed minorities” on the celtic fringe. You can expect more of this sort of thing from the Guardian and the rest of the anglophobic left wing media if Mayor Davies proves to be popular.
I very much doubt that Mayor Davies of the English Democrats will be flying the British flag in Doncaster.

The Grauniad can see their government public service jobs advertising revenue going down the chute. It has not sunk in to their pathetic skulls that New Labour and themselves are now fringe dwellers.

June 8th, 2009 at 7:03 pmI congratulate the new Mayor of Doncaster and hope that he bucks the trend abd does as he has promised in the election campaign.
However, the English Demorcrats and thier supporters will continue to be seen as a collection of overly angry, isolationist villiage-idiots until they drop the pointless rhetoric.
Most newspapers are written by lefty wind-bags or goose-stepping morons, we the opposition to the political mass suicide practiced in the name of liberalism, do not need to stoop to mud-slinging and name-calling.
We ARE better than that and our time has come.
Also, withdrawl from the EU would be ecconomic lunacy and an English Paliament is a waste of money, we already have one. Just kick the non-English MPs out and tell them to go back to thier redundant constituancies…job done.
