@colinbrazierGBN @GBNEWS Can England have its own independence referendum? Can @GBNEWS discuss English independence please.

What @nicholaswatt could have asked is whether defining Englishness is anymore complicated than any other national identity, and if so, why?

And, is the civic side of Englishness hamstrung by all the institutions of state and governance being British rather than English? What effect does the absence of an English parliament, government and first minister have on building an inclusive, civic sense of Englishness? Is is right that politicians only get out the cross of St George when there's a football tournament on? Does this help normalise English identity and the English flag or merely emphasise its absence from mainstream politics at all other times of the year?

Indeed, do the English deserve or want discrete representation *as the English* outwith sport?

Those are the questions Nick Watt could have asked. But he didn't because it's the BBC not the EBC.

@BBCNewsnight Maybe Matthew and Newsnight's time would be better spent asking why England itself has no political identity? No English Parliament, Government or First Minister. Gov Ministers and MPs who say 'this country' when they mean England What about a debate on English independence?.....

Usual BBC yawnifying piece on Englishness. Of course no mention of England's lack of national political instutions, no English political identity, English Parliament etc. No place to put Black/Asian English on the https://t.co/FlMcjjT5yt thoughts on English independence....

@Donna_Rachel_ Why has the man got his arm round the police officer, trying to wrestle him to the ground by the look of it?

@TheXLector @visegrad24 The murderer's mother could have said something instead of allegedly trying to hide the knife! Bitch!!

[Independent England.. Engdependence! @EnglishUDI]

@visegrad24 It's a shame the mother of the murdering scumbag who stabbed him didn't intervene and say he'd been stabbed instead of letting him die and then allegedly try to hide the murder weapon! Bitch!!

@ArchaicIreland @YoungBobRB ... stick their heads in the sand or accuse everyone of being a right wing racist!

[Independent England.. Engdependence! @EnglishUDI]

@ArchaicIreland @YoungBobRB I think the message is about supposed two tier policing. How much of that there is I'm not sure tbh. But I think they are having a go at the wrong people. It's the politicians who need to sort out any misgivings the people have, not just....

[Independent England.. Engdependence! @EnglishUDI]

@ArchaicIreland @YoungBobRB Saying that, how do you think rioting on the streets will change anything? The same people will still be in power.

[Independent England.. Engdependence! @EnglishUDI]

@ArchaicIreland @YoungBobRB ...I doubt even they will change anything when it comes down to it!

[Independent England.. Engdependence! @EnglishUDI]

@ArchaicIreland @YoungBobRB And, unfortunately, people continue to vote for them.Elections could be the answer but I agree the odds are stacked against there being any change. Reform have given the established UK parties a shock, particularly in England and Wales, but....
