Scotland and England

The Daily Telegraph has a rather amazing report that suggests Cameron's Conservatives may have found a ruse which they hope will bury the West Lothian question. As could have been expected it is a complete Dog's Dinner. I have added my own comment, which is repeated below as the Telegraph has taken to ignoring comments that might throw Cameron's Conservatives in a remotely realistic light. The column titled "At last, an answer to the English question" by Philip Johnston, is linked here. David Cameron made it perfectly clear he would refuse to address the Scottish anomalies, such as the Barnett formula, in his first interview with Andrew Marr, he stated: "I’m a Cameron, there is quite a lot of Scottish blood flowing through these veins." The headline news today that Britain's banks (many Scots' controlled) will be handed another 50 billion pounds of our devalued money means it is not just our democracy and parliament that has now been destroyed. Will any English politician now demand Brown offers an explanation as to why he required Mervyn King on appointment as Governor of the Bank of ENGLAND to remove house prices from the chief inflation index, for that must be the cause of this debacle, i.e. it was avoidable and Brown is culpable.
