Britishness Again: Pubs, Drunks and Burns
The usual Political Theory reading group met in a pub - at first the Wheatsheaf, but very soon due to noise the Turl - tonight to discuss Gordon Brown's speech on Britishness. (See my earlier rant). Unfortunately we were rather impeded by a drunk who insisted on joining us and disrupting conversation... Also I missed a last minute but apparently very popular Burns Night party in college. But Burns isn't British anyway, he's Scottish!
