The ill effects of colonialism and it's demise after WW2 in the case of Britain has been damaging to the mother country of England.
The New Labour British government created a devolved Scottish parliament and a Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly in 1997, in effect setting free these countries from the 'British' empire 'union of 1707' . It described them all as nations, and immediately set out to destroy England by attempting to create 'regional assemblies'.When the North East was polled 78% of the inhabitants voted against 'regionalisation', wishing to remain part of a united England.In repeated polls over the past 3 years English people have polled between 60% and 68% in favour of a devolved English Parliament. This has been refused by the Scottish elected Prime Minister.
England is the only country in Europe which is still in the grip of colonialism, a thrall to the 'British' Parliament of Westminster in which Scottish and Welsh and Northern Irish MP's can vote on English laws, yet English MP's cannot vote on any of these devolved country's laws.
England as the majority tax paying population in the defunct 'union' subsidises Scotland , Wales and Northern Ireland, but receive worse health care, schooling and care for their aged. The price of empire and the British colonial adventure has been just as high for the poor of England as for any in it's ex colonies, the difference is that the colonisers are those we trusted to represent us not to cynically disenfranchise us.
