Wednesday 16:00-16:30 Laurie Taylor discusses the latest social science research.
21 March 2007
ENGLISHNESS Laurie Taylor goes in search of the real England and asks where its heart truly beats when he’s joined by Julian Baggini Editor of The Philosophers’Magazine and author of Welcome to Everytown; A Journey into the English Mind and Stuart Maconie, author of Pies and Prejudice; In Search of the North.
Is the centre of England’s gravity the North? Is the abiding culture of England secretly working class? If the answer to these two questions is ‘yes’, then why do the English paint themselves a very different picture their nation? Laurie and his guests grapple with the questions.
