English but could be Australian.
But there is a quiet goodness to English life that hasn’t left it. I would challenge any foreign visitor to go to a panto at the Sunderland Empire in the run up to Christmas and then head for a pint at the Dun Cow or the Peacock and not be completely charmed by the experience. It is down-at-heel, rough-around-the-edges, unsung and looked-down upon. Yet it is the home of a real, authentic culture that has existed for generations and which is in its own way the equal of any on earth – as unique and ancient as that of Japan, Bali or Tibet. It is only because our elite have been educated into contempt of that culture that they cannot see it for what it is, and only because familiarity to the rest of the world has smoothed over its distinctiveness that it is not more widely appreciated. But the people who live here know it – even if they cannot always articulate it.
It is important not to lose sight of this as the time ticks closer to midnight. The pieces are now all in place for genuine political and economic danger to unfold here.
