Found that mildly amusing, personally. The first 1:57 set out the classic ethnic nationalist discourse of an idealized past that has been lost but could be recreated again if only the malign influence of an enemy group could be removed and it all goes downhill from there because all they can come up with for an enemy group is to push the frankly ludicrous concept that a geographical area containing only 10% of the UK's population can oppress a geographical area containing over 80%. Somebody should maybe also let them in on the full implications of oil being at $115 a barrel. The sort of forward looking English civic nationalism that might actually get somewhere if a political party started to espouse it would be more in tune with some of Billy Bragg's ideas about modern English identity, in my opinion:-
