Stuart Hall, cultural theorist and founder of cultural studies, said:
"I think that the British have a future only if they can come to terms with the fact that Britishness is not one thing and has never been one thing there have been a million different ways of being British and there’ve been a million different struggles about Britishness which only retrospectively are then smoothly accommodated into the story as if its unfolding seamlessly from Beginning to end.”
Alex Massie recently said here:
"You can be a Highlander, Scottish and British — just as you can be Cornish, English and British."
