The Speccie on England

Guy Aitchison (London, OK): I have just followed a link from Gareth in the comments to the Spectator's "St. George's Day special" dedicated to all things English. Fraser Nelson has some interesting thoughts on what a Tory "England strategy" might look like but don't think that the Speccie will be calling for independence any time soon. As it says in the Leader, "The Spectator remains emphatically committed to the Union and the survival of the United Kingdom." Why? Because Britain still "punches above its weight in the world", of course. One question: is there anyone outside the Spectator who still thinks this is a good thing?
