Episode 5 (S8). What Does It Mean to Be British in the Current Climate?

In this episode, we dive into an important and timely question: what does it mean to be British today? Against the backdrop of a rising far-right movement and growing social divides, we explore how ideas of identity, belonging and community are being shaped and challenged in the UK right now. What does “Britishness” mean in a society that’s increasingly diverse but also increasingly polarised? How do we hold onto shared values when fear and exclusion are on the rise? Together, we discuss the current context, the stories, symbols and power dynamics that influence who gets to belong and whose voices are pushed to the margins. Tune in, reflect, and join the conversation. Instagram: @matterspodcast LinkedIn: Social Matters Website: socialmatters.org.uk
