ELIZABETH Norton (Citizen: July 1) should be encouraged in her quest to find readers who are proud to be English, but what puzzles us is why that pride is an embarrassment to some.

Proud English people don't want 'regional' governments.

There is no need to fracture the country just to come into line Euro policy (divide and rule). What the proud English people want is an English parliament for England. Why should the 'Scottish nation' be allowed a referendum to give them the choice of a separate parliament when the same choice is withheld from the English - by a mainly Scottish cabinet in London?
