A FRIEND IN NEED 06/16/2010

On the Andrew Marr show on February 21st the Greek Prime Minister was interviewed about his country’s dire economic crisis. Towards the end of the interview Mr Marr asked the Greek PM if it is a good idea for the people of Britain to take their holidays in Greece, with its economic woes. The Greek PM of course replied ‘Yes’,  stating that Greece is ‘A friend in need’  and the people of Britain will receive a very warm welcome from the people of Greece.

The English Radical Alliance would like to inform the Greek Prime Minister, the EU, the media and Mr Marr, that England is also ‘A friend in need’.  The people of County Durham are ‘people in need’ following the loss of a big part of their local economy, with the closure of the Corus steel plant, a manufacturing plant with a reputation for producing quality steel that was known throughout the world.

The English Radical Alliance (ERA) would like to inform the Greek PM, the rest of the EU and in fact the rest of the world, should they wish to come to England for their holidays that they would receive a very warm welcome.  We are a people always willing to extend the hand of friendship and generosity.

England is a land of contrasts from the beaches of its coastal counties to the staggeringly beautiful mountains of Cumberland and Westmorland whose landscapes have inspired authors, poets and artists alike. From the moors of Devon and Cornwall to the Yorkshire Dales and the historic towns and cities of every English county, that has provided the world with some of its greatest historic events and people in history. From the Norfolk Broads, the Fens and the Somerset levels, where the wildlife and flora attract visitors from all over the world, to the Lake District’s breathtaking scenery that has inspired walkers and artists alike.  The architecture of England may not be as ancient as that of Greece, yet they are just as, if not more beautiful, with awe inspiring cathedrals, abbeys, castles, palaces, country houses, public buildings, and bridges, all built with the skills of artisans and beauty of design that can match anything found anywhere in the world.    

England needs investment, it needs tourism and it needs friends to support our economy and our tourist industry. Our guest houses, small hotels and self catering establishments have all faced hard times in the recent recession. When we speak in terms of industry, it is very easy to think simply in terms of manufacturing and ignore the significant contribution of our tourist industry. It is an industry that has been almost totally ignored by the main parties, and it is one where most of the minor parties never mention.

We in the English Radical Alliance understand the contribution tourism makes towards the English economy. We also understand many of our main tourist areas are also areas of high unemployment, low wages and high house prices, and this needs addressing. Capitalism has failed these areas. Socialism would simply offer greater centralisation and costly bureaucracy. Our decentralised Distributist policies would provide opportunities to local people and the autonomy to bring about necessary change.

The English Radical Alliance recognises England is a ‘Friend in need’ – but we also realise England has far too many enemies within, and most of these are in or likely to be in government!

ENGLAND TO BE RULED BY ANOTHER FOREIGN LEADER
Another step towards the eradication of England has taken place with the election of Belgian Prime Minister Herman Van Rompuy as the first President of the European Council. However to use a phrase from a well known cult sci-fi series 'It's an election but not as we know it'.

The fact that the Belgian PM was chosen by the European leaders, and, in particular, by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and not the people demonstrates the complete disregard the EU has for real democracy. This makes a mockery of what people fought and died for in the World War II, that being to ensure free speech and democracy in Europe and in the case of our brave service personnel the freedom of England.  Whichever way you look at it this is another nail in the coffin of England and democracy, something nazi Germany and the General's of the USSR would love to have acheived but failed.


The English Radical Alliance does not recognise Herman Van Rumpoy as President and reiterates its policy for withdrawal from the EU and all other alliances that work against the interests of the people of England. We believe in real democracy for our nation, which does not mean decisions being made by the EU, M.P's from other nations within the UK or by unelected quangos. England needs independence from such people and organisations and the decision making process transferred to the people of England. This would be real democracy and if Captain Kirk is reading this 'It is democracy as we know it'.
