"I think Countess Richard,is probably right."

I'm sorry but you are wrong. The cep is one of the groups attending. Please consider this article by them ( http://thecep.org.uk/news/ViewItem.asp?Entry=1485 ), in particular the issue entitled "Civic Nationalism . English Identity . Multiculturalism".

I quote:

"An English parliament would create an English franchise resulting in every individual in England, regardless of ethnic or religious identity, becoming a 'stakeholder' in England. This would be the single greatest rebuttal to those who delimit the boundaries and scope of Englishness and what it means to be English "

The march has very specific goals. I think some people see what they want to see but disregard the rest.
