Quotes by Stephen Maxwell (?)

“Although Scotland has been a conspicuous beneficiary of British exploitation of the Third World, Scotland has been more resistant to the mystique of Empire than England. The Empire first impressed the English as a confirmation of their presumed right to govern and then flattered their ego by adopting many English institutions and attitudes as models for their own development. In return the Empire colonised a small but important part of England's sense of her own identity.”
― Stephen Maxwell, Cencrastus No. 4: Winter 1980 - 1981
