With regard to the national identity, forgive me for going there, and what I'm reading from what you're saying, but maybe I've got this wrong, is that there's a correct interplay, a correct sacrifice that the nation should have for the individual and the individual should have had for the nation. There's a certain amount of the individual should give to the nation and the nation in return.

So just on that, because the added problem, I think, for the British and the English, if we're going to use biblical terms, is that covenant, you used that. Now, Israel, the Israelites, are going in and out of, if you read through the Old Testament, they're in and out of covenant. They break their covenant with God. Yeah, continually, yeah.

Even after Moses brings them to the promised land, then you have, I guess you have Joshua, but then the book of Judges, they break their covenant. They have false gods and they have this chaos. They fragment.

Yeah, exactly. So I think that that's kind of what we're experiencing now. But we... we can't quite agree what that covenant is. I mean, it's even taboo now to suggest we're a Christian country. So even though our flag is Christian, even though our national anthem starts with the word God. Your king is head of the church. Our king is head of the church. Nominally.
