Clearly, this thread is compelling, and quite enlightening, though I agree it should go below the line. It's enlightening for me for sure. I had never heard of the Freedom Association, and do not like what they may stand for. However, I am a member of the Campaign For an Enlgish Parliament a single issue cause group. This aim is just, and i think the aims of the march are fair in that they are quite specific and are simply campaigning for England for to be given an equal status with other nations of Britain. It seems that the march may be attracting many different types of groups. Students in debt, cancer patients argry at the drugs they need only being available in scotland, those campaigning for an english palriament... and those from the freedom association! It looks like a broad church to me. I broadly believe in the aims of the march and believe that England as a nation is being treated unfairly constitutionally. The march organisers have stressed that they are trying to prevent those from the far right highjacking the march. Therefore why should i not go?

There is an emerging English Nationalist movement. This is inevitable, and it is growing quickly. One issue with it is how is it going to manifest itself? Right wing and racist, or consitutional, democratic and inclusive? The Freedom Association may be the former, the Campaign for an English Parliament the latter. I want to be in a position to make it an inclusive and positive movement. Therefore, I am going on that march. Perhaps i shall be in a better position to know more after the march and maybe i 'll come back here and let you know my conclusions.
