Simon Lee
Simon Lee is Senior Lecturer in Politics at Hull University and delivered a speech entitled “Gordon Brown and the negation of England”. Simon has been given a sabbatical from Hull University next year to write a manifesto on English devolution.
Simon explained that he is supporting the Campaign for an English Parliament because he wants to bring accountability to governance in England which is missing in the current settlement. He expressed the opinion that Gordon Brown has deliberately set about encouraging the conflation of England and Britain to gloss over the fact that English people have not been given the same right to citizenship that Scottish and Welsh people have.
