Thats just what its called, as you well know, but for others, its where the Scots can vote on English matters that have nothing to do with them, (and they do), but not the other way round.
The Welsh and Norhtern Irish can also vote on English matters.
The only Nationals that can't vote on matters in any of the Home Countries ar the English.
Its also against the law, (brought in by this goverment) to say on the National Census that your English
As to revoking it, Make it law that Scots can only vote in Scotland on Scottish issues, and bring in a fair playing field.

But it is, check, and to go along with that, as you know, I have a handicapped daughter, a Social worker was at my house filling in forms, and when it came to Nationality, I said English, she said 'I can't put that down'
You tell me why?,
And on the National Cencus, if you put down English, you are deemed to have defaced the form, and are open to a hefty fine.

Why is it so pointless, jake?
In the same way that you are apparently proud of your multi-cultural origins and philosophy, many are proud to be identified with a particular area or country. Lots of people do not have the same difficulties as you in doing so. Many people in the UK like to call themselves �English� (or Scottish or Welsh or whatever) because they were born there, their ancestors (as far back as they want to go, which for most people is no more than two or three generations) were born there and they have spent most of their life there.
The problem, particularly for the English but not so much for the Scots, Irish or Welsh, is that to identify yourself as such is bordering on being �racist�. Despite your belief that the idea of national identity is somewhat old hat, people throughout the world for one reason or another like to identify themselves as �belonging� to a particular nation or race.
The only nationals that seem to be castigated for their pride are the English.

I'm not proud of them any more than I'm proud of say having black hair!
Why be proud of where you were born ?- it's not some great achievement you've struggled for years to attain.
What's even stranger is that most of the right wingers who are apparently so proud of their country seem to spend an awful lot of time on the news thread saying how rubbish it is!
