Who's afraid of the Respect Party?
I've got an article in this month's Renewal arguing that the government's approach to Britishness (broadly characterised as an attempt to agree upon what we agree upon) needs to focus more on the areas where we disagree. Attempts to 'construct' Britishness in a top down, stage-managed way is producing a vision so content-lite that it is emotionally unengaging.

Food for thought
There's a fascinating article in the Guardian today about Fish and Chips. It charts the progress of 'cheap and simple' dish to its new-found status as a gourmet dish. Plenty is bound up in the story of the fish and its relationship to the chip. As the article points out, the dish's changing status tells us a lot about changing consumption habits in the UK today.
