BBC NEWS | Politics | Citizenship event for 18s toutedOne thing I do appreciate about Blairy England is a new approach to life changes. Not only is the ceremony for marriage evolving rapidly so that we may soon be able to take a registrar to a sacred site of our own choosing, but we may soon having a special civic ceremony to mark the transition to adulthood. I have little confidence in this Government finding any deep symbolism for such occasions,however. How near they came with the Dome, though. It so nearly offered us a chance to explore the place we all come from. The huge figure at the centre could have been a woman. We should have enteresd and exited through that birth canal, and made our way back to the moment of conception that was deep inside it. Instead of that we entered through the thigh like some old Greek myth. Will we now enter the body politic through a meaningful orifice, do you think? Or will we be asked to kiss New Labour's ass?
