Might you consider writing about the steady delegitimisation of the hereditary principle in British life? For a nation with such deep continuous roots as ours this is as traumatic as it is sad (e g House of Lords reforms, fiscal attacks on family farms and small businesses,etc) and needs to be challenged.

I do find that a very interesting subject, and I’ve often thought about it…

A fascinating world...

I encountered that same “combination of solidarity and liberty” in a film about 21st-century nomads in the American West following the Great Recession — with their vans, their stories, and their friendships, and the restlessness that pushes them from one place to another, endlessly... (I’m talking about *Nomadland*, starring Frances McDormand)

Would you recommend it? If so, I will add it to little book of films to watch. (Also, sorry for my late response, busy week!)

Yes, I wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s simple, heartfelt, and beautiful.
