Yes there will always be an England Roy but as ever, it is an England with many faces. The rich/poor divide still exists though for 'rich' add in well-off middle-class professionals with protected pensions. For poor add food banks, homelessness, sub-standard housing, rogue landlords, zero hour contracts, unemployment and probably poor health - and please don't tell me "they bring it on themselves". As I wander through the latter phase of the life I feel fortunate still to have I observe it all. Am lucky enough to have a good friend with a car so just today was walking in the Cotswolds - what could be more English, more bucolic - but don't even think about living there if you are an ordinary working class person.
