Where’s England Dave?
The leader of the Conservative Party, David Cameron, has outlined his draft manifesto for this year’s general election and knowing that elections are won and lost in England, has sensibly opted to base his election campaign on the English health service.
I'll take the high road and you take the low road
You would, however, be forgiven for thinking that the manifesto announced today applied to the whole of the UK as David Cameron failed to mention the country he was talking about once.
David Cameron’s draft manifesto mentions “Britain” and “the UK” once, “our country” twice and “this country” three times despite the fact he was talking about England. The word England doesn’t appear once in his manifesto.
This can mean one of two things: either David Cameron is trying to deliberately mislead voters into thinking that if they voted for the Conservatives he would be in charge of the NHS in the whole of the UK or he simply doesn’t understand what he would and wouldn’t be able to do as British Prime Minister. Whichever if these is the case, it really doesn’t say a lot about his ability to govern the country.
The Campaign for an English Parliament is urging all voters in England to give their vote to the candidate that will give equal rights to English people. David Cameron can’t even bring himself to mention our country, how can he be trusted to do what is right for by the 50 million English people who have been discriminated against for over a decade by this anti-English British government?
You can ask David Cameron a question about his draft manifesto and vote for or against questions other people have asked here. You might like to go an ask David Cameron why he says “Britain” when he means England or how he can talk about the English NHS without mentioning England once. Please also go and vote for other questions that ask these questions as they are quickly voted down by the Tory trolls that are monitoring the questions for anything that doesn’t support David “Scottish blood coursing through my veins” Cameron.

A general election is round the corner. We need to write to/doorstep Tory candidates and ask them to explain why Cameron et al never say England. We will get the usual blank of course.
