Robin Spokes (Oxford Mail, November 29) is not alone in finding that the nationality of "English" has been deemed politically incorrect.

The 2001 Census allowed people to state they were either Scottish, Welsh or British.

This is because, according the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, "there is no such nationality as English".

This is simply outrageous, and people like Mr Spokes are not going to put up with it.

Indeed, a recent ICM poll found that 68 per cent of English people want an English Parliament.

An English Parliament would speak up for England - not just to stop our money being given out to all and sundry, but also to stop this disrespectful treatment of the English people.

Of course, the likes of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Sir Menzies Campbell oppose the idea, arguing that it might break up the United Kingdom.

No-one knows for sure what the future holds, so instead of gazing into their crystal balls, our politicians should be listening to what the people of England are saying right now: "We want an English Parliament!".
