An English Future
I often hear or read of English people saying that they don't recognise their country anymore, either due to immigration or the insidious creep of EU legislation, or both. They might say if they had the chance they'd leave. Younger people say that they are in the process of leaving. Plenty have left already, to countries like Canada, New Zealand, Australia, America etc.
The problem is, all of these countries have their own issues. None have a future which is secure and certain. America may fragment on racial lines. Obama is certain to open up the US borders to immigrants from Mexico and Africa and may well shun future immigrants from Europe. Australia has recently voted in their own version of New Labour, so god help them! Kevin Rudd is a committed multiculturalist and his immigration policy will reflect this. New Zealand's indigenous Maori population are not happy about the accelerating influx of migrants.
My point is, there is nowhere to run to which doesn't have the same problems which currently affect England. Things might be quiet now, but the future is not so rosy. Also, how much effort is involved in the upheaval of uprooting yourself and possibly your family to start afresh somewhere else? If those who want to escape to another country channelled that effort into making England the kind of country they do want to live in, how much more could we achieve?
English culture and identity deserve to survive distinct, as does any
