What the papers say - Budget - news

English government minister, Rishi Sunak, to deliver his second Budget in a year on Wednesday.

The English Government Chancellor will head to the parliament of Great Britain with a focus on transport links outside London, research and development in health, and the skills sector. It will be the second time this year he has stood in front of MPs and updated them on the state of England's finances after the 2020 Budget was delayed.

Although 11 areas of investment were announced over the weekend, Mr Sunak will ask England's MPs to curb their spending.

English investment already announced includes:

– £7 billion for transport areas outside of London;
– £5 billion for health-related research and development;
– £3 billion for new skills;
– £1.4 billion to fund foreign investors in English industries;
– £850 million for English culture
– £700 million for a new fleet of patrol boats for England's borders;
– £700 million to improve sports and youth clubs;
– £560 million to provide maths coaching;
– £500 million towards support for families and children;
– £435 million for crime prevention and the Crown Prosecution Service;
– £5 million for treatments for veterans.

Mr Sunak stated that for the English economy to recover the English government needed to be responsible because everything comes at a cost and the experiences of the last 18 months have made him more certain of how important a strong and resilient economy is.

The biggest investment announced so far has been into transport. The move was welcomed by mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham who secured more than £1 billion to develop a London-style transport system.

And the £1.4 billion English Global Investment fund to encourage internationally mobile companies to invest in England's critical industries, including life sciences and automotive.

Wednesday will also see the English Chancellor announce through the spending review the money to be invested in England's key Government departments over the next three years.

Through The Eyes Of The English Establishment - The Treaty of Union

 The Scots complain A LOT. How dare the English establishment mock our representatives they cry. Only they don't say English. Oh no, that would be to admit the truth that they try so hard to hide from themselves. What they say instead is Westminster and UK. It is the UK Government. The UK Supreme Court, UK law, "unwritten" constitution of UK, reserved to Westminster and yet they will call it an English parliament with a majority of English MPs. They even refer to parliamentary sovereignty and rules of parliament. Neither of which are applicable to the state parliament as they were from the English parliament prior to its abolition. So how do the English establishment see it? Let's look through their eyes. Ever since the Scottish civil wars of the 17th and 18th centuries the Scottish government has sought help from their treaty partner in curbing the unruly Scots and bringing them to heel. So much so that English garrisons were set up all over Scotland and all things S...

An Inconvenient Truth - Treaty of Union 1707

 What do you do when it is publicly pointed out that there is no Government of Great Britain, no constitution of Great Britain and no parliamentary sovereignty among the myriad other features that are missing from the treaty of 1707? When it is publicly pointed out that the current set up is mere convention and that CONVENTION IS NOT LAW? You quietly go about changing that situation. You rename yourself, publicly, you then set about ensuring that others refer to you by your new name giving you credence. The next step is to change the legal situation. EVEL was brought in to give legitimacy to the English government acting and legislating from within the parliament of Great Britain, in essence treating the parliament as English. Clause 38 had English parliamentary sovereignty written into it. The ability for "UK" government to ratify treaties was written into law. Note that the English government had Crawford and Boyle pen a paper stating that England was UK. To quote them ...

Going Beyond Theory - The Practical Application of a Scottish State

 Practical application demonstrates how theory is applied. Ifs, buts and maybes are addressed through demonstrating the reality. Where there is uncertainty practical application brings certainty through observation.  The argument from the "independence" movement is that people just need to be persuaded. Proponents have cited "facts" regarding Scotland, its wealth and its resources. They have theorised about how Scotland can do x,y,z better if circumstances were different, if only Scotland had full control of its governance yet that is where their arguments end. If someone came at you and said they were or could do x,y,z would you automatically believe them? If you disagreed, would you be persuaded otherwise through statement alone? Most folk would ask you to prove it. And for 53% of the Scottish population, that is precisely what they are saying. Put up or shut up. Stop harping on about something you cannot or will not prove. And who can blame them? Theory only gets...
