There is only one political weapon that will shake all Conservative, Liberal Democrat and Labour politicians out of their complacency. This is an English Parliament. They are terrified of it.

Contact the Campaign for an English Parliament or me and let's coordinate our efforts. Our country and our lives literally depend upon it.
