's message, "Channel Islands" on 16:10:36 10/29/04 Fri We are trying to promote unity in this society, and yet at the same time we are promoting increased regionalisation within Britain, which is after all, a concept and instrument of the European Union. I am sceptical that the dilution of our identity is going to help our cause, with the partition of England amongst other things. With regard to the Channel Islands, if we cannot unite them, what chance have we got in uniting the Commonwealth? This proposed federation is based on a british (with a small b) identity which is gradually being deposed by a new widespread regional identity. We are a small island and it is about time we put our differences in perspective. Cornwall’s economic problems would be best solved by a new Government agency that spends our money on regional development, rather than spending billions redistributing wealth in Europe. There has got to be a better way than more Government, more bureaucracy, more politicians, and of course, more taxpayer’s money. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
