ENGLAND is the last remnant of the British Empire which has yet to be given its freedom, according to the man who was head of the Local Government Association (LGA). Sir Merrick Cockell represented 373 councils in England and Wales and feels England needs devolution like Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He says England is the last remnant of the British Empire. Everyone else has been given back their freedom.
