I want us to break from Scotland, Ireland and Wales for the same reasons as I also want to leave the EU. England puts more money into Scotland and Europe than it receives benefit in return. In addition, the Scots and most of the rest of the world really dislike us.

Whilst they might have good historical reasons to dislike the English - Lord knows we were just a little naughty in the past - they were our ancestors, not our current population. I think we have more than atoned for their actions.

Methinks it is time for England to retreat to its protected little island and pull up the drawbridge. Concentrate on our well-being. Stop funding the world, policing the world, healing the world through the International (sic) Health Service.

Does that make me racist? I'd say no, it makes me patriotic. England is my home and I'd simply rather not share it with the rest of the world.
