Good question and one that should be asked of the UK government.

UK funding per person per year:

England: £7,960
Wales: £9,209 (16% more)
Scotland: £9,412 (18% more)
Northern Ireland: £10,127 (27% more)

But it's not just about the money. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have their own parliament or assemblies that work in the interests of those countries.

England has no parliament. Alone of the home nations

*outside London

Some might say this is the politics of envy. We say it's the politics of justice.

The people of England deserve the same funding and services as the people of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We don't pay any less tax but it's always us who end up paying the most for services.

It's not just prescriptions. Care for the elderly, student tuition fees, eye tests, dental check-ups, road and bridge tolls. In all these areas and more the people of England have to pay more than our neighbours because no-one speaks for us.

It has been said that we English are good at moaning - so get your moaning hat on and start moaning in the right direction. Your MP probably doesn't give a damn about you or your family having to pay for prescriptions.

So please Write to your MP and tell them you are sick of being discriminated against just for living in England.

If you've really had enough of England's raw deal demand your own parliament back by joining the Campaign for an English Parliament.

No parliament - no voice. From this all other injustices flow.
