His latest tome is entitled A Useful Fiction: Adventures in British Democracy:
Leading political commentator and broadcaster Patrick Hannan provides an enlightening and entertaining analysis of a post-devolution Britain and the concept of Britishness in politics, society and the media. With power no longer residing at one address, A Useful Fiction is a fascinating look at the new structure of the United Kingdom and whether the unfinished business of devolution might actually be England itself.
O'Neill on A Pint of Unionist Lite has promised a review of the book soon. In which case every Welsh, English, Scottish and Irish nationalist blog commentator needs a copy so that they can refute O'Neill's comments authoritatively.
Costing between £10 and £12, depending on supplier, I know that some skinflint readers of this blog will balk at the price. But there is a chance of getting a copy for free, sod all and for nothing.
The Liberal England blog is offering up a prize of two copies of the book to the winners of an e-mail quiz, which includes the question:
Which MP is currently 326th in the line of succession to the British throne?
The only one that I can't answer - so help please!
Entries close at 23:59 on Tuesday 7 July 2009 and the winners will be drawn by Lord Bonkers (honestly - that what it says!)
Is it Adam Price - Y Mab Darogan (Son of Destiny) - the True Prince of Wales?
ReplyDeleteThe answer's Ian Liddell-Grainger.
ReplyDeleteI've already paid for a copy of the book, so no point in me entering the competition).

Does Adam claim descent from the Lord Rhys (he is a Price after all)
ReplyDeleteSincerely
A son of Morgan!
BTW
David Cameron is a descendant of William IV! Makes him senior than our reigning sovereign!
Surely the easiest way to read a copy of the book for free is in the local library.
