Louder

From the Guardian Comment is Free resource, talk about England and devolution:

This position is sustainable only for as long as the English do not know, or care, much about it. My sense is that this is now, slowly but surely, beginning to change. The fact that there is no easy answer to the English Question - or even that some answers may be more troublesome than the question - will not stop it being increasingly asked. Just saying that it is one of life's little anomalies, as Lord Falconer suggested recently, will no longer be enough.

Yes, it is beginning to change. More people are asking what about England?, a question that the government is attempting to answer with a regional agenda. Like I've said before, that's an answer to a completely different question that the awakened have not asked and that's why it will never be accepted as a suitable solution.
