We are proud of being English - and of being an English-centric organisation. The people of England are some of the most driven and creative anywhere in the world. We have given so much to the world that sometimes we forget what a vital contributor to global progress England has been. Of the UN list of the top 100 inventions which have most benefited the human race, England, the 97th largest country by area came second behind China. In short, England is creative central and we want to once again see our country flourish and grow, culturally, socially and economically for the benefit of all.

For England to achieve these goals - goals which every other country in the world also aspires to, we believe we must have our own English Parliament once again reinstated. For too long, the administration at Westminster, the UK parliament has abjectly failed to act in the best interests of English people. The result is that the people of England have been ignored, marginalised and democratically disenfranchised. Administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have been calling the tune while we in England continue to pay the piper. This has to stop.

It is now clear that New Labour's asymmetric devolution project has been a disaster for the democratic process in England. While the people of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland revel in both UK and own country national representation, in England we have no one fighting our cause. All English MPs at Westminster seem wedded to preserving the British state at the expense of England and her inhabitants. While people in England are denied life-saving cancer drugs, in other home countries they are given out like sweets. While students in England have to pay a £3,000 annual tuition fees, in Scotland, students go to university for free. As old people in England are routinely forced to sell their houses to fund their residential care, in Scotland and Wales the costs are met by their national administrations - and they get to keep their homes to pass on to their relations.

In every aspect of our lives in England we are being persecuted and abused by an uncaring Westminster administration. In England we receive the least public spending per head of any of the four home nations. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each benefit from a block Barnett Formula grant of billions.

Thankfully there are organisations around which you can join to help with the fight for England that are fighting for the rights of England and the English. The English Democrats are a political party who regularly stand for election at European, national and local levels. The Campaign for an English Parliament (The CEP) is a pressure group which takes the fight for the rights of the English to the heart of the political establishment.

To make sure that these issues are heard by our Politicians, WEU has a political fund (please see rule book for details). The money is collected from our members' monthly contribution and is donated towards the political and non-political organisations that are actively campaigning for an English Parliament and English representation. Each member has a choice - they can decide whichEnglish cause they wish to allocate their contribution. When completing the forms, please tick the appropriate box.

St George's Day
The WEU believes that the people of England should, just like virtually every other country throughout the world celebrate our own patron saint. We want a national public holiday throughout England on or about the 23rd April. We also wish to promote a positive and inclusive understanding of English culture which has given so much to the world.
