Join us on Wednesday 17th April for our drinks and discussion on the topic: Is it time for England to dissolve the union?
St Patrick’s Day is a Bank Holiday in Northern Ireland, St Andrew’s Day is a Bank Holiday in Scotland, with the overlooked St George’s Day rapidly approaching we ask: Is it time for England to dissolve the union?
The Barnet formula ensures public spending is higher in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland than England. The SNP are in power in Scotland, Sinn Féin in Northern Ireland, and the new Welsh First Minster in his acceptance speech talked of “unprecedented hostility towards democratic Welsh devolution from a UK government determined to undermine, frustrate and bypass the Welsh government and this Senedd…. As well as leaving Wales with less say over less money, it is deeply corrosive, wasteful, and undemocratic.”
The UK has been the most successful democratic union of nations in world history. It is responsible for the Industrial Revolution and defending Europe from tyranny. For all the problems of the world’s largest ever Empire, it heads the Commonwealth of Nations.
The Union has majority support in the United Kingdom, but devolution has dissolved the strength of support. Approaching the 23rd April, we invoke the Spirit of St George and ask: Is it time for England to dissolve the union?
What do you think? Come along Wednesday 17th April at 7pm for our discussion.
We want your input come along with your ideas and thoughts.

Gen Sir Patrick Sanders, the head of the British Army, has said people must be prepared to support the armed forces by participating in a war if called upon to do so.
General Sir Richard Sherriff, ex-deputy supreme allied commander of NATO says It’s time to ‘think the unthinkable’ and consider introducing conscription.
Grant Shapps the Secretary of State for Defence said the world is “moving from a post-war to pre-war world” and urged for the UK to ensure its “entire defence ecosystem is ready” to defend its homeland, but Minister of State for the Armed Forces, James Heappey said of conscription “Nobody has ever mentioned it, nobody is even thinking about it.

It the spirt of Christmas we have a prize book to give away to one lucky attendee of Christmas drinks. To spread the news of freedom to the next generation we are giving away a copy of the book ‘Johnny Profit: Bedtime stories about Capitalism’. The book “bucks convention and takes the labels of guilt and greed out of honest profit making. It shows kids the value of mutually beneficial exchange and the pursuit of wealth.” One name will be drawn at random on the night, to use this as a possible gift for the upcoming celebration.
