Obviously its all subjective, and after all we're just a load of oldsters - no need to get nasty about anything with each other.

However i do think there is a connection with the neglect that some parts of England, and some layers of English society have suffered and the class system.

I suppose I might be wrong. however I think it might be sensible to start anew. A written constitution. Finish with all the grandiosity and pomp of the Victorian age. Just start running ourselves like a modest sized country. Sort out our own problems - not Afghanistan, etc.
