If this is correct... I think this toured in Australia and if its the same one, i got kicked and injured on this stonehenge jumping castle. Never thought this would reeneter my life.
So frustrating how Deller - how by his own admission - is very interested in national identity and yet seems to flip between calling things 'British' and 'English' as if they mean the same thing. I'm Welsh and I don't feel British. Just seems a bit clumsy
I think this comes from him being English. The English generally do not have a strong national identity (putting aside the English Nationalist fringes) like the Welsh or Scots do. So we tend to use English and British interchangeably without thinking. But you are right he professes to think about national identity a lot.
@@ghostdog5525Yes I think I agree. Whilst in Wales and Scotland there are obvious, 'physical' differences (such as the Welsh language and, say, kilts), there is little to fully distinguish something English of its own. But for Deller to say he is an 'expert' in it (0:48) and not acknowledge these things is a bit odd. I would argue, this mishap of equating Britishness to Englishness is very much quite an English thing to do 😂 You wouldn't see this 'mishap' happening half as much from a Welsh person or a Scottish person, let alone from an expert!
a long history of parochialism as demonstrated by brexit. see themselves as superior. the poms that came to australia were and still are insular and quite arrogant. its better now than it was but they brought their racial prejudices with them.

I worked at AFC too as a designer in 2019. I also make dystopian music.

Could not agree more.
@@clownrecords2869 It looks like all the stuff shown is just English so why not call it English rather than British...the mind baffles!

You can fool some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time.
