The Uncles approach

The English Democrats (ED) is a small political party and has two policies with which I agree: withdrawal from the European Union and the creation of an English parliament. The party has re-launched its website:  http://www.voteenglish.org/

Probably it comes as no surprise to my cynical reader to be informed that the ED has competitors in the English nationalism field and that much time and energy is spent on in-fighting both within and between the parties. It is in this context that I turn to Mr Uncles.

Mr Uncles has either praise or opprobrium heaped upon him.  He has been a leading light in the ED for many years  and along the way has made friends and enemies.  Par for the course in politics.  Building a new political party reminds me of the adage 'you don't make an omelette without breaking eggs'.  There is a Facebook page entitled: Victims of Steve Uncles from the English Democrats.

Mr Uncles publishes a blog:  http://englishpassport.org/

It provides an interesting window on Mr Uncles' philosophy.  Two examples:

  • English nationalism is not compatible with Scottish or Northern Irish Unionism, indeed modern Democratic English Nationalists, support a United Ireland, to end the subsidy from the English Tax Payer to Northern Ireland.
  • In view of the fact, that Chris Lightfoot, does not support democracy for the people of England – via an English Parliament, this would indicate, that his views are fascist.
The most recent post on the blog states:

the run up to the 2011 English Democrats National Council Elections – Steve Uncles has passed 2,000 Supporters of Facebook >> HERE
It is great to see that the vast majority of English Patriots, appreciate the time and effort that Steve Uncles has put into the English movement over the last 8 years.

In politics one has to be positive.  A candidate in my ward at the recent local elections stated in his election address that he had served Rusthall well. He lost his seat to UKIP!  However it is stretching a point to claim that the vast majority appreciate the efforts of Mr Uncles. If 2,000 is a vast majority there cannot be many English Patriots!

The following post on his blog is quite outrageous:

  1. Correction: I have been informed that Mr Uncles is a contributor to the blog referred to above and not the publisher. I am content to advise the blog should be read accordingly.

  2. Comment – Thanks John for your discussion, regarding the views and tactics of Steve Uncles of the English Democrats. The English Democrats is now established as the only credible Democratic English Nationalist Political, and is the 7th largest politcal party in England – this was achieved with virtually ZERO marketing budget. The guerrilla marketing lead by Steven Uncles, has got the English Democrats party to this point, indeed you are only writing about Mr Uncles, as the English Democrats have achieved what they have !!!!!!!!
