What Is Happening to the UK? Colonialism, Immigration, and the Crisis of National Identity

The British Empire once reshaped the world. Today, many Britons fear that globalization, mass immigration, and multiculturalism are reshaping Britain itself. Has Britain become the first major empire in history to voluntarily transform its own demographic and cultural character in the name of liberalism, multiculturalism, and social justice?

When an Empire Comes Home

For centuries, Britain projected power across the globe. At its height, the British Empire governed hundreds of millions of people across Africa, Asia, North America, the Middle East, and the Pacific all the way to Australia and New Zealand. British administrators went out and quite literally drew the borders of the modern world. They imposed common law legal systems. They exported the English language and the British cultural framework. From sports – like football, cricket, rugby, tennis, squash, badminton, golf and horse racing – to the fundamental ideas of parliamentary democracy. And in doing so, they completely transformed entire societies globally.

Today, a growing number of Britons believe the process has gone into reverse. Not through military conquest, not through invasion, but through mass immigration, multiculturalism, globalisation, and a political ideology that increasingly views national identity with suspicion. The question being asked in pubs, on social media, in Parliament, and increasingly at the ballot box is simple:

What happens when the world’s largest modern empire becomes transformed by the very populations it once ruled?

Whether one sees this as justice, irony, progress, or national decline depends largely on political perspective. But few can deny that Britain is changing faster than at any time since the Industrial Revolution, to the point that many citizens are beginning to wonder whether they still recognise the country they grew up in.


The Great Reversal

For most of British history, immigration was not a defining political issue. Britain was a country people left, not a country millions moved into. Millions moved into colonies, either by force or exploration. It was a nation of immigrants populating the colonies. They were seeking new opportunities in America, Australia, Canada or they were administering the empire in India, Africa and the Middle East. That began changing after the Second World War. Successive governments encouraged immigration from former colonies to help rebuild the economy.

The government passed the British Nationality Act of 1948, which essentially granted the right of entry and settlement to hundreds of millions of subjects across the British Commonwealth. The expectation was that these newcomers would arrive, help rebuild, and seamlessly adopt a shared pre-existing national identity. They were expected to become culturally British.

The assumption was that newcomers would gradually integrate into British society and adopt a shared national identity. Instead, Britain increasingly embraced multiculturalism.

Rather than encouraging assimilation into a common culture, governments began promoting the idea that multiple cultures could coexist while maintaining distinct identities. Supporters viewed this as enlightened and tolerant. Critics argued that Britain was quietly abandoning the very idea of a shared national culture. For decades these concerns remained largely outside mainstream politics. Today, they dominate it.

To its supporters, multiculturalism was and remains today the pinnacle of modern culture. It is a celebration of diversity. It allows a society to benefit from different perspectives, cuisines, arts and traditions. To its critics, this policy was a quiet, unexamined surrender of the nation’s core operating system. By abandoning the expectation of assimilation, the state actively encouraged segregation.

For decades, any critical voices were pushed to the absolute fringes of the political discourse. It was considered impolite or even bigoted, to question the multicultural consensus. But today, that tension is the absolute centre of mainstream politics. It is the defining issue, because it wasn’t just an immigration policy operating in a vacuum. The demographic shift coincided with a total rewiring of how Britain viewed itself internally.


The Social Justice Revolution

At the same time Britain underwent another transformation. Universities, public institutions, media organisations, corporations, and much of the political class increasingly adopted the language of diversity, inclusion, equality, privilege, systemic discrimination, and historical injustice. The institutional mindset was undergoing its own radical, almost silent transformation behind closed doors.

Suddenly, the national history itself became a highly contestant territory.

Where previous generations had been taught to celebrate Britain’s achievements, newer generations were encouraged to examine its role in slavery, colonialism, imperialism, and racial inequality. For supporters, this represented moral progress and a more honest reckoning with history. For critics, it produced a political culture that became uncomfortable celebrating British identity altogether.

Think about how history used to be taught to anyone over the age of 40. They learned about the Magna Carta – the royal charter of rights sealed by King John of England – as the birth of liberty, the Royal Navy’s role in the abolition of the global slave trade, the astonishing innovations of the industrial revolution, and ultimately standing up against fascism in 1940.

But newer generations are being taught a fundamentally different narrative. The current curriculum hyper-focuses almost exclusively on Britain’s role in colonialism, its historical ties to slavery, imperialism, and racial inequality. It produces a political culture that is essentially embarrassed by its own shadow. It creates an environment where celebrating British identity is treated as inherently offensive or exclusionary.

A fundamental question arises: As a Briton born and raised in Great Britain, why would you feel ashamed to be British? Where is the sense of National Pride?

A Glaring Double Standard

Many began to notice an apparent contradiction. Expressions of ethnic, religious, and cultural pride were encouraged for minority communities. Expressions of English or British identity often became controversial. What’s fascinating here is how explicit that contradiction has become. Under the current social justice framework, expressions of ethnic, religious, and cultural pride are enthusiastically encouraged, but only for minority communities. If you belong to a minority group in Britain today, celebrating your heritage is viewed as empowering, authentic, and morally righteous.

And the institutions will back that up. They will fund it. Schools will dedicate whole days to it. Corporations will sponsor it. But if you express traditional English or British identity, if you show fierce pride in St. George’s flag or historical British institutions, it is almost immediately treated as controversial, problematic or a dog whistle for something sinister.

It’s a complete inversion of cultural confidence. And frankly, you can’t tell a majority population that their history is toxic and that their pride is suspicious while simultaneously telling everyone else their pride is beautiful without triggering a massive psychological backlash.

This perception, whether entirely fair or not, contributed significantly to the rise of populist movements across Britain. Because people feel gaslit by their own institutions. They feel that the rules of cultural pride apply to everyone except them.

When a society’s elites signal that the nation’s core identity is something to be managed or apologized for, it creates a deep well of resentment, which completely changes the nature of the immigration debate.


Immigration Moves From Economics to Identity

Immigration was once discussed primarily as an economic issue. 20 years ago, we talked about immigration almost exclusively in economic terms. It was about GDP growth, filling labour shortages, managing the dependency ratio. It was all spreadsheets and data.

But now, the arguments have morphed completely. Today it has become a civilizational issue. The economic argument simply doesn’t resonate with the public the way it used to because the realities on the ground have bypassed the spreadsheets. Think tanks can publish all the data they want showing a slight GDP bump from migration. But when we look at the strict realities driving public concern today, it is a formidable list of infrastructural and social pressures.

Critics point to:

  • Record migration levels, that totally dwarf anything in historical memory.
  • Pressure on housing and infrastructure, because you literally cannot build houses fast enough to keep up with that kind of population growth.
  • Growing welfare costs associated with supporting new populations, particularly asylum seekers who are often housed in hotels at taxpayer expense.
  • Failures of integration, leading directly to ethnic segregation.
  • Grooming-gang scandals.
  • Islamist extremism.
  • Terrorism.
  • Ethnic segregation in some communities.
  • Declining trust in political institutions.

Supporters counter that immigrants contribute economically, fill labour shortages, enrich British society, and are being unfairly blamed for wider government failures.

The debate is no longer simply about numbers. It is about identity. Who are the British? What binds them together?

And can a society remain cohesive if different groups possess fundamentally different historical narratives, religious values, and cultural assumptions?


London’s Transformation

Nowhere is the debate more visible than London. The capital has become one of the most diverse cities on Earth. Supporters celebrate this as evidence of Britain’s openness and global success with great cuisine . Critics see something else. They see a capital city in which the historic majority population of Britain – White British – is now a minority within its own capital city. That is wild.

If you look at the census data shifts from 2001 to 2011 to 2021, the demographic transformation is just staggering, which is an incredible demographic flip in a very short window of time. If you live in London, you see this every single time you walk down the high street or get on the tube.

And again, you have two entirely polarized views of this reality. Supporters look at London and they see the ultimate triumph of global Britain. They see a vibrant, dynamic, cosmopolitan success story that attracts the brightest minds and the best food from across the globe. They see a city that has transcended narrow nationalism.

But critics look at that exact same city and they see a massive warning sign. They see a capital that has detached itself culturally, politically, and economically from the rest of the nation. It’s like a different country. It votes differently. It thinks differently. And it lives differently than the provincial towns. They ask a question that once would have been unthinkable:

Can a nation remain culturally continuous when its demographic character changes within a few generations?

This question sits at the heart of Britain’s modern identity crisis today. And what is so fascinating is that the politicians who actually try to put the brakes on this change, even those who wish to reduce the numbers, find that they literally cannot. They are completely paralyzed. They’re blocked by the invisible architecture of international law.


Human Rights Law: Protection or Democratic Constraint?

Few legal issues have become as politically contentious in modern Britain as the application of human-rights law. It started with the European Convention on Human Rights, the ECR. Following World War Two, the ECR was drafted largely by British lawyers, ironically, to prevent the horrors of the Holocaust from ever happening again in Europe. It established fundamental rights. But then decades later, the Blair government passed the Human Rights Act of 1998. It embedded those European rights directly into domestic British law, meaning you could sue the government in a local UK court based on these European principles.

Supporters argue that the Human Rights Act and Britain’s membership of the European Convention on Human Rights represent essential safeguards against government overreach. They point out that these protections apply to all citizens equally, defending freedoms such as free expression, fair trials, privacy, and protection from arbitrary state power. In their view, human rights are not obstacles to democracy but an essential component of it.

Critics, however, increasingly view the system through a different lens. They argue that human-rights legislation has expanded far beyond its original purpose and now regularly interferes with the ability of elected governments to implement policies that command public support. The issue is particularly controversial in relation to immigration and asylum cases, where court rulings have sometimes delayed or prevented deportations, blocked government initiatives, or overturned ministerial decisions.

Today, immigration lawyers routinely use Article 8 to block the deportation of foreign national offenders. A convicted criminal might argue that because they have a partner or a child in the UK, deporting them would violate their right to family life. Or they use article 3 – the prohibition of torture and inhuman treatment – lawyers will argue that if an asylum seeker is deported back to their home country or even processed in a third country, they might face degrading treatment.

The local judges bound by the Human Rights Act step in to block those deportations. They delay government initiatives for years in the courts or completely overturn the decisions made by the Home Secretary, which absolutely infuriates the public because it asks a fundamental question about the state:

Who is actually in charge? The ministers we elect to manage our borders, or an unelected judge sitting in a courtroom interpreting a treaty from the 1950s? Should unelected judges have the power to override policies enacted by democratically elected governments?

The controversy has become symbolic of a wider struggle over sovereignty and accountability. For many Brexit supporters, leaving the European Union was partly about restoring democratic control to Westminster. Yet some argue that Britain’s legal obligations under international human-rights frameworks continue to limit that control. As a result, debates over immigration are increasingly intertwined with debates over judicial power, national sovereignty, and the balance between individual rights and the collective interests of society.

Whether viewed as a vital protection of liberty or an excessive constraint on democratic decision-making, human-rights law has become one of the defining fault lines in Britain’s broader debate over identity, borders, and the future direction of the country.


The Political Divide

The modern British left generally argues that Britain’s future lies in diversity, inclusion, immigration, international cooperation, and expanding rights protections.

The modern right increasingly argues that Britain requires lower immigration, stronger borders, a renewed national identity, and a greater expectation of integration.

Both sides believe they are defending Britain. But they are defending fundamentally different visions of Britain.

One imagines a post-national, multicultural society. The other imagines a nation-state built around a historic culture, shared identity, and common civic values. Increasingly, these visions appear difficult to reconcile.


Brexit and the Collapse of Political Stability

If Brexit exposed Britain’s divisions, the years that followed revealed how difficult those divisions would be to govern.

Before Brexit, Britain was often regarded as one of the world’s most politically stable democracies. Governments typically served full terms, major parties occupied predictable ideological ground, and voters generally trusted that the political system could deliver coherent leadership.

Since the 2016 referendum, however, Britain has experienced an extraordinary period of political turbulence. The country has seen six Prime Ministers come and go in little more than a decade – David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and Keir Starmer. Some resigned, some were forced out by their own parties, and others saw their political authority collapse under the weight of economic crises, internal rebellions, or public dissatisfaction.

What is striking is that leaders from both the left and the right have struggled to maintain public confidence. Brexit promised clarity but instead exposed profound disagreements over sovereignty, immigration, national identity, economic policy, and Britain’s place in the world. Successive governments have often appeared unable to reconcile the competing demands of an electorate that increasingly feels divided between global and national identities, urban and provincial interests, and progressive and traditional values.

To many voters, the revolving door of Prime Ministers has become a symbol of a deeper crisis. Governments change, party leaders come and go, yet the fundamental questions driving public frustration remain unresolved. Immigration continues to dominate political debate. Housing remains scarce and expensive. Public services remain under pressure. Trust in institutions has declined. And many Britons increasingly feel that the political class is managing symptoms while avoiding the larger conversation about the country’s future direction.

The result is a growing perception that Britain’s instability is not simply a consequence of poor leadership, but evidence of a nation struggling to define what it wants to be in the post-Brexit era.


Crime, Terrorism, and the Politics of Public Safety

Few issues have contributed more to Britain’s growing sense of unease than concerns about crime, public safety, and the perceived failure of authorities to confront difficult realities.

While overall crime trends vary significantly depending on the category being measured, certain incidents have had an outsized impact on public opinion. The grooming-gang scandals involved the systemic, group-based sexual exploitation and trafficking of vulnerable, predominantly white working-class children—often from care homes—by organized networks of men, prominently of Pakistani heritage. It revealed systemic failures by police, local authorities, and social services to protect vulnerable girls from organised sexual exploitation.

The independent Jay Report estimated that approximately 1,400 children were abused in Rotherham alone between 1997 and 2013, with investigators concluding that local authorities, social services, and the police actively ignored what was happening. Because the perpetrators were predominantly men from a specific minority community largely Pakistani heritage men and the authorities were paralyzed by the fear of being accused of racism. This is where the mechanisms of the social justice ideology clash with basic law enforcement. Bureaucrats prioritize their institutional reputation, their diversity metrics, and a warped sense of multicultural sensitivity over the physical safety of workingclass girls.

At the same time, Britain continues to face concerns about Islamist extremism and terrorism. Since the July 7, 2005 London bombings – when four suicide bombers struck London’s transport network, killing 52 people and injuring over 770 others – the country has experienced a series of Islamist-inspired attacks, including:

  • The Westminster Bridge attack.
  • The absolutely devastating Manchester Arena bombing, specifically targeting young girls and families at an Ariana Grande pop concert.
  • The London Bridge attacks.

and other incidents that have left a lasting impression on the public consciousness. Security agencies continue to describe Islamist extremism, including threats inspired by ISIS and Al-Qaeda, as a significant component of the UK’s terrorism threat landscape.

More recently, in June 2026, Northern Ireland witnessed violent unrest following a knife attack in Belfast that was widely reported as an attempted beheading. The offender was a Sudanese national who entered the UK in 2023, claimed asylum upon arrival in Belfast, and was granted refugee status. The incident triggered protests, riots, and renewed debate about immigration, integration, and public order. Regardless of the legal outcome of individual cases, such events receive enormous attention because they reinforce broader public fears about social fragmentation and security.

For many voters, the issue is not merely crime itself but a growing perception that political leaders, police forces, and media organisations are often reluctant to discuss the cultural, religious, or immigration-related dimensions of certain crimes, and their impact on overall public safety. Whether this perception is fully justified or not, it has become politically powerful.

These terror acts trigger protests, riots, and intense furious about immigration, integration, and basic public order. Because for the voters, it’s not just about the crime itself. As terrifying as that is, it’s the incredibly frustrating perception of the aftermath.

There is a sense that the political leaders, the police forces, and the mainstream media do everything in their power to avoid discussing the culture, religious or immigration related dimensions of these events. They tiptoe around it. They say the attacker had “Mental Health issues”.

The public feels that the authorities are more concerned with managing the public’s reaction to the crime, like policing speech on social media, warning against Islamophobia, rather than managing the root cause of the crime itself. So, what does this all mean for the political landscape?

This is one of the reasons for the rise of populist movements and parties led by figures such as Nigel Farage. Farage’s appeal is rooted not simply in opposition to immigration, but in his argument that Britain’s political establishment has repeatedly ignored public concerns about border control, integration, crime, and national identity. His supporters see him as one of the few politicians willing to address issues that others avoid. His critics argue that he amplifies fear and division while offering overly simplistic solutions to complex social problems.

Whatever one’s view of Farage, his political success reflects a broader reality:

When large numbers of citizens believe their concerns are not being heard by mainstream institutions, they often turn to outsiders who promise to challenge the existing consensus. The rise of populism in Britain is therefore not merely a story about immigration. It is also a story about trust, representation, and the widening gap between governing elites and the public they claim to represent.


From Fighting Crime to Policing Speech?

For many critics, one of the most significant changes in modern Britain has been the perceived shift in policing priorities. Traditionally, the police were seen primarily as protectors of public safety—investigating violent crime, catching offenders, and maintaining public order. Increasingly, however, some argue that police resources have been diverted towards investigating speech-related offences and complaints involving race, religion, gender identity, and other protected characteristics.

Several high-profile cases have fuelled this perception. Former police officer Harry Miller successfully challenged police guidance after officers visited him over gender-critical tweets that the High Court later ruled were lawful, describing the police response as a disproportionate interference with freedom of expression. More recently, comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport over social media posts relating to transgender issues before the investigation was eventually dropped, prompting widespread criticism from free speech advocates and politicians across the political spectrum. Journalist Allison Pearson was also investigated over a social media post alleged to have incited racial hatred, reigniting debate over the threshold for police involvement in public speech.

One case that became a lightning rod in Britain’s debate over policing, race, and public trust was the murder of 18-year-old university student Henry Nowak in Southampton. After being stabbed multiple times by Vickrum Digwa – a 23-year-old British Sikh man – during a street confrontation, Nowak repeatedly told responding police officers, “I’ve been stabbed” and “I can’t breathe.” However, Digwa falsely claimed that he had acted in self-defence after being the victim of a racist assault. According to body-worn camera footage released after the criminal trial, officers initially accepted the attacker’s account, handcuffed Nowak, and dismissed his pleas for help, with one officer responding, “I don’t think you have, mate,” when Nowak said he had been stabbed. Only several minutes later did officers recognise the severity of his injuries and call for urgent medical assistance, but by then it was too late. Digwa was subsequently convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment, while the Independent Office for Police Conduct opened an investigation into the officers’ actions, and Hampshire Police publicly apologised to Nowak’s family for their handling of the incident.

The case ignited a nationwide debate over whether fears of making incorrect assumptions about race had influenced frontline police officers, with critics arguing that the tragedy reflected a wider loss of public confidence in policing.

The debate extends beyond individual cases. Data obtained by The Times and widely reported in 2025 indicated that police forces in England and Wales were making around 12,000 arrests each year under communications legislation relating to allegedly “grossly offensive” or menacing online messages—an average of more than 30 arrests per day. Civil liberties organisations argue that such laws are sometimes applied too broadly and risk creating a chilling effect on lawful public debate, while supporters maintain that they are necessary to tackle online harassment, threats, and incitement.

The controversy surrounding these cases became so significant that the Metropolitan Police later announced it would stop investigating “non-crime hate incidents” in many circumstances following criticism that officers had become entangled in contentious cultural and political disputes. Supporters of the change saw it as a welcome return to core policing priorities, while others warned that intelligence gathering on hate-related incidents still has an important role in preventing escalation into criminal behaviour.

Whether these incidents represent isolated misjudgements or evidence of a broader institutional shift remains contested. Yet politically, their impact has been undeniable. To many voters, they reinforce a belief that the British state has become increasingly willing to police words and opinions, while appearing less effective at addressing violent crime, illegal immigration, or antisocial behaviour. That perception—regardless of whether one agrees with it—has become a powerful driver of Britain’s broader debate over free speech, public trust, and the proper role of policing in a liberal democracy.

The Question Nobody Wants to Ask

For decades Britain’s political establishment largely dismissed concerns about immigration, identity, and integration as exaggerated or reactionary. Yet the persistence of these concerns suggests they are rooted in something deeper.

People are not merely debating policy. They are debating belonging.

The underlying question is not how many migrants Britain should accept. The underlying question is whether Britain still sees itself as a historic nation with a distinct culture worth preserving, or as a global territory whose identity is continuously evolving.

Until that question is answered honestly, every immigration debate will remain unresolved.

Because immigration is not the argument.

Identity is.


The Crisis of British Identity

Perhaps the deepest issue facing Britain today is not economic, demographic, or even political.

It is existential.

A growing number of people are asking a question that would have seemed strange only a generation ago: what does it mean to be British, and is it still acceptable to be proud of it?

This debate exploded into public view in 2025 when a 12-year-old schoolgirl, Courtney Wright, was removed from a school Culture Day event after arriving in a Union Jack dress inspired by the famous Spice Girls outfit worn by Geri Halliwell. The student had prepared a presentation celebrating British culture, traditions, literature, and history. Following a national backlash, the school apologised and even Downing Street stated that being British was something to be celebrated. Yet the controversy struck a nerve because many people saw it as symbolic of a wider cultural trend: a feeling that expressions of British identity are sometimes treated with greater suspicion than other cultural identities.

Supporters of multiculturalism argue that such incidents are exceptions and do not reflect wider society. Critics, however, point to a series of controversies involving the removal of national flags from public spaces, objections to displays of English patriotism, and the perception that institutions often celebrate diversity while appearing uncomfortable with expressions of traditional British identity. Whether fully accurate or not, this perception has become increasingly influential in public debate. The Union Jack and the St George’s Cross have themselves become symbols in a broader cultural struggle over nationalism, immigration, and belonging.

At the same time, large public gatherings for religious events, including mass Muslim prayers in city centres and public spaces, have become highly visible in cities such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, and Bradford. To supporters, these gatherings demonstrate Britain’s commitment to religious freedom and multiculturalism. To critics, they are further evidence of a country undergoing rapid cultural transformation.

The debate is often less about the events themselves and more about what they symbolise: whether Britain is becoming a collection of separate communities rather than a nation united by a common identity.

The consequences of this identity crisis may be appearing in unexpected places. A 2026 survey of more than 2,000 young Britons found that half of those aged 16 to 29 said they would not fight for Britain under any circumstances if war broke out, while only 38 percent said they would consider doing so under some circumstances. Researchers linked the findings to growing pessimism, declining trust in institutions, and a weakening sense of connection between younger generations and the state.

For critics of Britain’s current trajectory, these figures raise an uncomfortable question. If a nation cannot inspire loyalty, sacrifice, or a shared sense of belonging among its own young people, what ultimately holds it together? A society can survive disagreements over taxes, immigration, or political parties. However, it becomes far more difficult to remain cohesive when citizens no longer agree on who they are, what they share, or what is worth defending.


Is Britain on the Brink of Civil War?

It is a question that would have sounded absurd only a decade ago, yet it is increasingly being asked in newspaper columns, political podcasts, online forums, and public debate: is Britain heading towards some form of civil conflict? While the United Kingdom remains a stable democracy with functioning institutions, regular elections, and the rule of law, the fact that such a question is now being seriously discussed reflects the depth of the country’s divisions. Mass immigration, demographic change, competing visions of national identity, declining trust in political institutions, growing support for populist movements, rising community tensions, and increasingly polarized political discourse have created a sense among many citizens that the social contract binding the nation together is under unprecedented strain.

Britain is not facing civil war in the traditional sense of armed factions preparing to fight in the streets. However, it may be experiencing something that precedes more serious instability: the gradual breakdown of a shared national story. When different groups no longer agree on the country’s history, identity, values, future direction, or even basic facts about its present condition, political disagreements become increasingly difficult to resolve through normal democratic processes.

The greater danger may not be civil war, but a continuous erosion of social cohesion. A nation does not suddenly collapse. It gradually loses the trust, confidence, and sense of common purpose that allow diverse people to live together peacefully. The central question facing Britain today is therefore not whether civil war is imminent, but whether the country can rediscover a shared identity before its divisions become too deep to bridge.


Conclusion: The Empire Comes Home

History has a sense of irony. Britain once exported its people, institutions, culture, language, and values across much of the world. Today, people from all over the world are shaping the future of Britain itself. The empire went out, reshaped the globe with its laws and its language, and now the globe has come home to reshape Britain. Some see this as the natural consequence of an empire. Others see it as the predictable outcome of political choices made by successive governments. Either way, it leaves the UK standing at this incredibly precarious crossroads.

The clear warning signs are right there: without a rediscovered sense of shared purpose, the social fabric of the British nation may face an irreversible erosion of a shared national story and mutual trust, leading to a systemic threat to the country’s future social cohesion and democratic stability. How has British identity shifted so much in such a short time – from shared values to cultural division – is extraordinary. Britain’s profound identity crisis, characterizing the nation’s shift from a global imperial power to a multicultural state is nothing less than the greatest reversal in human history.

The decisions made right now about identity, border mechanics, institutional courage, and about what it actually means to belong to this nation are going to define Britain for the entirety of the twenty first century.

And frankly, watching how Britain handles this is vital for everyone, regardless of where you live, because they are likely serving as the precursor for the future of Modern Europe, North America and Australia. In fact, any Western country will be watching Britain to see what lies ahead, as their faith, self identity and overall future is on the brink.
