ENGLAND Awakes! The dog has finally barked, we re told, the elephant has stirred – chose your metaphor. The English Question, rather than the Scottish one, is now the issue du jour in metropolitan thinking circles. England is on the march. Nick Timothy, Theresa May’s former chief of staff, tells the Daily Telegraph that the Scottish Question won t go away “until the English one is answered”. It is “How Britain Ends” according to the former Newsnight presenter, Gavin Esler, in a new book of that name which claims “the UK cannot survive the rebirth of English nationalism”. The former Telegraph editor, Sir Max Hastings, says: so what? Let the “land of haggis and bagpipes” depart. “Given that the English have most of the people and the wealth” he wrote this week in a provocative Bloomberg article, “there is no logical reason why a future England should cut any slighter figure on the world”.
