Running this because of this comment:

Am I prejudiced? There’s the question of actual English debating, arguing over something deeply structural, as in wholesale change … and there we get into managerialism, the awful London skyline, its cheap gimmickry, the whole “cut price” mentality, the brutalism in “modern” design … I could go on.

Then there is what the hell is a sub-continenter or middle-easterner doing having any say on anything, e.g. in Gosport?

And that is far more the current issue, n’est-ce-pas?
