your latest novel is called middle england.t just about brexit, called middle england. now, it is notjust about brexit, at brexit sits at the centre of the story. —— but brexit. was that by design and intent, or was it simply that you couldn't avoid it, even if you want to do? i'd think with the kind of novel i had already told myself i was going to write there was no avoiding brexit. it is a novel which features characters from two of my earlier looks, the rotters club and closed circle. closed circle was published in 2004, i haven't written about these characters in 12 years, they were at the back of my mind. i a lwa ys they were at the back of my mind. i always say that when i put the final piece of punctuation in a novel, the characters are dead to me, and i don't think about them again. that didn't happen with these characters, especially the central one, benjamin trotter. i started to think i wanted to revisit them. i wanted to put them in contemporary britain and see how they were getting on. i knew they would be in thei

campaigning editor, someone in touch with his readers, someone who it has often been said understood middle englandrst of british values posing as the best and i think there has been a poisoning in our culture of which he is a very big part. and it's been a momentous year for rupert murdoch. the media billionaire sold most of his us entertainment empire to disney and after a bidding war, the british and european broadcaster sky was sold to another us giant, comcast. some industries are in terminal decline. local newspapers prime among them. a few weeks ago, i visited the west midlands to talk to keith harrison, the editor of the wolverhampton express and star, who hasjust left after 25 years. just a few decades ago, work in a local paper came with esteem, influence and a solid wage. titles like the independently—owned express & star in wolverhampton were treasured in their communities. these days, their importance has grown further, but their commercial clout is diminishing. now, if you want a second—hand car, you look online and if you want local news, fewer and fewer turn to print. it's challengi

middle east. almost two—thirds of councils in england didn't prosecute a single driver for misusing a disabled parking

middle east. almost two—thirds of councils in england didn't prosecute a single driver for misusing a disabled parkingmit over the past year — that's according to figures from the department of transport. during that time, more than 4,000 blue badges were stolen. the organisation representing local authorities said tough decisions had to be made about enforcing the system when resources were limited. john mcmanus reports. they are a lifeline for around 2.4 million motorists who have some form of disability. blue badges allow holders to park free of charge in pay—and—display bays, and for up to three hours on yellow lines. that makes them potentially very valuable, and the number of badges reported as stolen rose to more than 4,000 last year. yet data from the department for transport shows that most councils in england, including middlesbrough, nottingham and shropshire, failed to take action against a single motorist for misusing the permits over the last 12 months. of those that did, the largest number of prosecutions were in three boroughs — hammersmith in fulham, newham in london, and leeds. the b

what i do know is essentially it's the middle of nowhere, and yet in other parts of england, people inaid we're going to leave. that's still the major shock here. a lot of people said leave, even distant from london. can they be changed in their thought? ian: i think the whole problem for me about where we are, we now know the consequences of brexit. francine: do we? ian: yeah, we do. i don't think there's a good thing. it's going to cost jobs. it's already happening. we saw the impact in the financial markets when we decided to leave. the pound fell, food prices increased. people have become purer it as a consequence -- have become poorer. francine: with all due respect, the doom and gloom that we were told by the people that were trying to campaign hasn't happened. i'm looking at the polls, and if there was a second referendum, the outcome may not be much different. should we not just get along and try to figure out a brexit that would get through parliament? ian: the u.k. has fallen to the bottom of the leak. investment has stalled. so there is that impact which is there. all the ec

states becomes not a series -- not something united, but something like, you know, new england is like scandinavia, the middle colonies are like italy, that kind of thing. and that's where we're headed. and he's right about that. and you need a -- what comes pretty close to a coup d'etat to change that. and it's not something that bubbles up from below. it's not democracy that does this. it's coming from straight down and there's a group of people who decide, we have to change the direction we're going in. washington's part of that, madison's a big part of that. and they really orchestrate the calling of this convention. and then the agenda that the convention has. >> well, i agree with that. there are two reform movements going on in the 1780s. one is to add some amendments to what is now considered generally, a deficient confederation. it needs the power to tax. it needs some tariffs, abilities to levee tariffs. it also needs the ability to make navigation acts controlling trade. what happens is -- and i would use the term, madison, and his other nationalists hijack that reform movement for a larger purpose
