  Number of people with ultranationalist views rising. As 3 main parties start pushing fascist ideology. Media “acts” surprised.

    Still a minority view thankfully

    According to the IPPR analysis, a majority of supporters of all big parties besides Reform, including the Conservatives, thought the nation was a civic community defined by shared values, and not an ethnic community defined by shared ancestry.

    When asked what made a good British citizen, the most popular answers were obeying the law, which was chosen by 64% of those polled, raising children to be kind (62%) and working hard (48%). Just 8% said it involved sticking up for British-born people above other groups, and 3% said it involved having white skin.

    When asked what would make them proud of the country in a decade’s time, people prioritised good public services and quality of life: 69% said a well-functioning NHS, 53% cited affordability and 36% housing. Significantly fewer prioritised reductions in immigration (28%) or ethnic diversity (13%)

      Sadly our dumb voting system means the minority may get elected 😬

  Some people don’t even think that a person who was born and raised in the UK can be British, if they’re black or brown.

  Now ask them: 2 Poles have a child in the UK, 2 Brits have a child in Poland. Which child is British and which is Polish?
