I've just started reading #AnotherEngland by #CarolineLucas and this #Guardian article about #England and Englishness is very timely. Independence for the countries of the UK is very much on the table IMO and redefining Englishness is part of this. This's the place where the future of UK politics will be contested.

Personally i specifically avoid reading muddling media. #DumpTheGuardian

Yet, Thanks to your mention i found a joyful assessment:

"Lucas’s captivating book examines the more uplifting aspects of the nation’s past such as English people's progressive spirit, radical inclusivity and ancient commitment to nature to envisage where we might go from here."
