Deconstructing the myth

This deconstruction of Mr. Austin Mitchell's (MP for Grimsby) notion that an English Parliament would be disastrous makes interesting and entertaining reading. It is some months old but that does not make it any less potent:

Mitchell and his ilk obstinately refuse to accept that it is Scottish and Welsh devolution that has already undermined the viability of the UK by rendering the previous 'asymmetry' unworkable. They must now reconcile themselves to the English dimension; they have no choice if they wish to maintain the Union.
