A Useful Fiction?

From the press release for, "A Useful Fiction, Adventures in British Democracy" by Patrick Hannan:

In ten years of devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the make-up of Britain has seen far-reaching changes. But do the British fully understand their impact? Or rather, do the English?

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.

I will be hopefully doing a review of this (also!) shortly.
