“Part of the motive behind devolution was to allow those different identities to be expressed. But what had taken the place of the country house was not a home but a hotel: 'You pay for services rendered and in return you get a room, you get room services - beyond that, you are free to do whatever you like so long as you don't disturb the other guests.' But this model failed to generate loyalty. 'A hotel is somewhere you don't belong. It isn't a home. It's a convenience. And therefore when society becomes a hotel, as it has become in the past fifty years, you get no sense of national identity, of belonging, of common history, of common good, of moral concerns, of social solidarity - and that is where we are now.' [Quoting Jonathan Sacks.]”
