A Charter to Restore England
I write this as an English Nationalist, not out of hatred for anyone else, but out of loyalty to my own people. For too long, England has been treated as a province, a cash cow and a dumping ground for policies made to serve an unaccountable British Establishment. England has no parliament, no government of her own, and no meaningful say over the forces tearing our communities apart.
This charter sets out a clear, realistic path to bring back control to the English people.
1. England First: Void the Union, Restore the English Constitution
The root of the problem is simple: England is ruled through a British super‑structure that no longer serves us. The Acts of Union turned our ancient English constitution into a component of a British state that now hides behind “the Union” to dodge accountability.
Principle: The English people are a sovereign nation. The authority to govern England flows from them, not from a stitched‑together British establishment.
Steps:
- Assert English sovereignty in law
- Pass an Act in Westminster, sitting explicitly “as the Parliament of England”, declaring that sovereignty rests with the English people and that English law is not subordinate to any foreign or supranational authority.
- State clearly that any part of the Acts of Union that conflicts with English self‑government is void and of no effect within England.
- Begin the orderly unwinding of the British layer
- Negotiate a peaceful separation settlement with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, recognising their right to self‑rule while asserting England’s.
- Transfer all England‑only competencies (most domestic policy) from “UK” structures to new English institutions within a defined transition period.
Outcome: England ceases to be the silent majority inside a British machine and becomes again what she always was: a self‑governing nation with a constitution that limits central power instead of protecting it.
2. An English Parliament and Government – Answerable to the English Only
Devolution gave Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland their own bodies. England was deliberately denied one. That must end.
Laws for England must be made only by English representatives, elected in English constituencies, sitting in an English Parliament, with an English Government answerable to it.
Steps:
- Create an English Parliament
- Re‑constitute Westminster as an English Parliament for all England‑only matters. Only MPs elected in English constituencies vote on English laws.
- If the Union still exists in some form during transition, any UK‑wide chamber must be separate and clearly limited to foreign affairs and genuine shared matters.
- Form an English Government
- Replace the current “UK Government” in domestic policy with an English Government, with ministers explicitly sworn to serve the English people and uphold English constitutional law.
- Establish a written set of English constitutional principles (rooted in common law and historic rights) that ministers can be taken to court for breaching.
- End the West Lothian insult
- No MP elected outside England has any vote over English health, schools, police, housing, or any other internal matter. Full stop.
Outcome: For the first time in modern history, the people of England know exactly who governs them and can no longer have laws imposed by representatives they did not elect.
3. Break the Bureaucratic State: Cut Whitehall Down to Size
Today, ministers come and go, but the permanent bureaucracy stays. It resists change, leaks against elected ministers, and treats the public as an inconvenience.
Principle: Officials serve the people through their elected representatives. The machine is not a power in its own right.
Steps:
- Abolish and replace bloated departments
- Disband or radically shrink departments like the current Home Office, splitting them into smaller, mission‑focused English agencies (e.g. Borders & Immigration, Policing & Security, Civil Registration).
- Put fixed terms on Permanent Secretaries and senior mandarins; no one holds a top job indefinitely.
- Make officials personally accountable
- Create a legal duty of fidelity to the English Parliament and people. Deliberate obstruction of lawful ministerial instructions becomes misconduct in public office.
- Tie senior officials’ pay and continuation in post to clear, public metrics (border removals, processing times, fraud recovered, etc.).
- End the quango state
- Review all quangos and regulators. Abolish or fold into ministries any body that makes rules without direct democratic control.
- Require all remaining regulators to have boards partly elected or confirmed by the English Parliament, with open hearings and recall mechanisms.
Outcome: The unseen “permanent government” is cut back, put on a short leash, and forced to do what elected representatives, under an English mandate, tell it to do.
4. Take Back Control of Borders, Land and Labour
Sovereignty means nothing if we cannot decide who comes in, who can buy up our land and housing, and how work is rewarded.
Principle: England must control its borders, protect its territory from being turned into an investment commodity, and guarantee that honest work provides a decent life for an English family.
Steps:
- Borders and citizenship
- Replace the current points‑based system with an English migration system set solely by the English Parliament, with annual caps and category limits.
- End automatic routes to settlement based on mere time spent here; citizenship should require allegiance, contribution, and respect for English law and culture.
- Prioritise genuine skills and tightly limited humanitarian protection; no open‑ended “soft” categories that can be gamed.
- Land, housing and foreign ownership
- Ban the sale of English residential land and housing to non‑resident and non‑citizen buyers.
- Tax large portfolios and empty homes heavily to drive property back into use for actual residents, not speculators.
- Force central and local authorities to release land and fast‑track building only for genuinely affordable housing for English residents, not investors.
- Labour and living standards
- Tie work visas directly to labour‑market conditions: if a sector can train locally at a decent wage, it must not be allowed to import cheap labour to hold wages down.
- Enshrine in English law a clear principle: a full‑time worker on an average job should be able to support a family and reasonably expect to buy a modest home within a fixed number of years. Policy on wages, tax, benefits and housing must be judged against that test.
Outcome: The interests of the English worker and family come before those of global capital, cheap‑labour lobbyists and property speculators.
5. Money, Debt and Education: Stop Farming the Young
Today’s economic model traps the young in debt and funnels wealth upward. That is a political choice.
Principle: No English child should have to sign away decades of their future income just to get an education, and no parent should be priced out of work by childcare.
Steps:
- Rebuild honest education funding
- Replace the current student‑loan‑as‑debt racket with a simple, transparent graduate contribution or direct public funding, with strict caps on fees and real cost control.
- Link university places to genuine need and academic merit, not to how many fee‑paying students institutions can squeeze in.
- Fix childcare so work pays
- Treat early‑years provision as core national infrastructure: bring costs down by direct funding and supply‑side support, not just token vouchers.
- Guarantee that for any ordinary earner, working more does not leave them worse off after childcare – or reform the system until this is true.
- End asset‑bubble economics
- Re‑orient tax and regulation away from rewarding speculation in property and financial assets, and toward real productive investment in English industry, technology and infrastructure.
- Put clear caps and constraints on leveraging the future earnings of the young to prop up the paper wealth of the old.
Outcome: Young English men and women are freed from being treated as revenue streams for universities, financiers and landlords, and can build families and futures on solid ground.
6. Law, Rights and Local Power: Revive the English Tradition
The English constitutional tradition was never about worshipping the state. It was about limiting it.
Principle: The law exists to protect the people from arbitrary power, not to give officials and ministers blank cheques.
Steps:
- Codify key English rights and limits
- Place core liberties and limits on government (speech, due process, property rights, free association, local jury trials, etc.) in a concise English constitutional statute.
- Make them superior law: any Act that clearly violates them is void and can be struck down by English courts.
- Restore real local self‑government
- Give counties, boroughs and cities genuine tax‑raising and law‑making powers in defined areas, within national constitutional limits.
- Allow local referenda on major planning, policing and spending decisions; where local people say “no”, central government must not simply override them.
- Reform policing and justice
- Re‑anchor policing in local accountability: elected local policing boards with the power to hire and fire chief constables and set priorities.
- Tighten jury trial rights and raise thresholds for state interference in private life, so that “making examples” of ordinary people becomes much harder.
Outcome: Power is pushed back downwards – to the parish, the town, the county – within an English constitutional framework that protects individuals and communities from central abuse.
7. A Realistic Path, Not a Fantasy
None of this happens by magic. It requires:
- A movement that puts England openly first, and does not apologise for doing so.
- A political strategy that uses every available lever – elections, legal challenges, public campaigns – to force the constitutional question onto the table.
- A willingness to confront not only the visible politicians but the deeper establishment that has lived off England for generations.
But the model itself is straightforward:
- Re‑assert English sovereignty and void Union structures that deny it.
- Build clear English institutions (Parliament, Government, courts) tied directly to the people.
- Cut the bureaucratic and supranational restraints that block change.
- Hard‑wire policy to the real living conditions of English families, not to abstract GDP or the comfort of the City of London.
That is what bringing back control to the English people would actually look like.
Final thoughts: A peaceful path, before it’s too late
We are closer than we have been in generations to a reckoning over who really governs England, and in whose interests. The pressure of rising costs, broken services and open contempt from the establishment is waking people up.
We have two paths.
One path is denial and drift. Anger builds, trust collapses, and sooner or later conflict – social, economic, even civil – becomes inevitable.
The other path is peaceful but firm constitutional change. We calmly assert that England is a nation, that our people are sovereign, and that our institutions must be rebuilt to serve us, not rule over us. We extend a hand of friendship to our neighbours and to all who live here lawfully, but we make no apology for putting our own people first in our own land.
This charter is not a fantasy. It is a roadmap. If enough English men and women decide that our history, our freedoms and our children’s future are worth fighting for peacefully, the British Establishment will not be able to stop it.
