Neal Ascherson's advocacy of England being destroyed as a nation and broken up into regions, while Scotland should get a national parliament, is oddly reminiscent of the old South African apartheid system (21 July).
The Scots would get full national political rights, while the English would get "tribal homelands" which they do not want.
