I feel more Irish than English. I feel freer than British, more visceral, with a love of language. Shot through with fire in some way.

I know the British people and they are not passengers - they are drivers. ↗

Now undoubtedly, we face some very British challenges when it comes to infrastructure. We rightly cherish our back yards and green spaces, and we'll defend them passionately when projects are announced. We live in a democracy, and we like to debate these things, often for many years. ↗
