Thread Name: E Carthy/S Lakeman on Englishness
Subject: RE: E Carthy/S Lakeman on Englishness
what a stupid question.why are the Guardian wasting their time on half witted questions like this.
Englishness means something entirely different to Prince Charles,or a member of the Landed Gentry,than it would to a single mother in Lewisham.
Nick Griffins definition of Englishness,would be quite different from Ken Livingstone.
All it does is tell us something about the person being interviewed,now if they had asked this question of Karl Marx or Bertrand Russell or Einstein [when they were alive]we might have got some interesting answers.
instead of which we get a load of half baked squit.Dick Miles
