I'm a working class cultural nationalist with a small 'n'.
I'm also a red Tory in some areas.

Tebbit was excellent in some areas but...I get the impression that he regarded the working class as a liability whereas I believe that the 'haves' and 'have lesses' will always be involved in a symbolic relationship and when one doesn't properly recognise the other....that's when the system doesn't work.

? What is one hundred percent English? It's culture that matters not genetics and I've never said anything different to that.

You do speak some nonsense....Also my heritage roots are in Scotland just as much as northern Ireland, hence the name Stirling.

Unlike you I don't have a silly romantic attachment to something I'm not....though this said...while I knock the 'progressive' politics of the SNP....I don't knock Scotland itself. For what it's worth I'm proud of the heritage to have originated from there just as much as Belfast.

But I'm culturally English....There's no conditions or half way houses or doubts about it.

Wisbech is meant to be English.....though if you walk down the high street and use your ears you could easily be fooled.

We should swap.

Domestic oil tank regulations - doubled the price - about £1,000 extra.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Obviously a decent guy in that case.

Left-wing tendencies are welcome and recent events are showing how necessary they are.

It's 'Jeremania' you have to go with the flow sometimes.

Building regs do you mean?

I doubt anyone unelected decided to impose a directive that simply said "domestic oil tanks should cost £1k extra".

I imagine that any directive (which goes through the European Parliament - elected) would be designed to make such installations more environmentally friendly and safer and ensure that their installations is done properly, and not cutting corners is more expensive.

Come on...surely you aren't serious Cambridge.

The EU want ever closer union. They want to pool sovereignty over Europe into a superstate whilst asking its people as little as possible how they feel about it.

And you are asking about individual laws we don't like?

Tell me Cambridge...You don't like Ukip....what individual laws did Ukip pass that you don't like or have a problem with?

It's the principle.,,,,As well as the commitments within the treaties.

Name me a law UKIP have passed...

I'm not against Brexit per se, and I tend to agree that the EU is in need of reform and there are significant problems with it in terms of the ability it affords countries to decide on how it regulates industry and the kind of industrial strategy that countries follow. I think there are a lot of admirable things about the EU though and plenty of rights it affords people which are good on a personal level and protections it provides to workers and the environment that I would be concerned would go under the Tories and need enhancing not eradicating. But it hampers a nation's ability to go further with those protections or make them more relevant. Brexit can be a success but won't be under the Tories.

Well the fact that Ukip haven't passed a law is kind of my point.

They haven't affected you in law yet I bet you don't like them....mainly because of their influence and affect and how they affect the political climate.

It's the same with the EU....it's just from the other side.....and the EU actually have massively more power than Ukip.

You may think that the Tories can't handle leaving the EU but I completely disagree that Labour could get anything like as good a deal.

We have already see the illogical positions Labour and your ideological bedfellow Keir have taken up....when seen against the ruthless nature of the EU I think your preference for Labour doesn't hold water.

Having said that...if Labour were actually taking these talks I can't for the life of me believe they would be as accommodating as they put out.

Go and live in Romania then. The joke is that you have more chance of seeing your socialist ideas implemented in an independent Britain than in the capitalist cartel of the EU. Of course, if they were, the doom and gloom that you predict for Brexit would occur many times over.
