For many of us who grew up in the fifties, sixties, and seventies, Britain had a distinct identity—one rooted in tradition, culture, and a shared sense of belonging. But over the past few decades, that Britain has slowly transformed, replaced by a new, complex reality. From the days of neighborhood corner shops, Sunday roasts, and traditional family values, to a country that now feels more fragmented and uncertain. This video takes you through the journey of how Britain’s identity evolved and why so many of us feel like we're losing touch with the country we once knew.
The slow disappearance of what we once held dear—community bonds, shared cultural practices, and even food traditions—leads us to ask: What does it mean to be British today? 🇬🇧 Gentrification, multiculturalism, globalization, and changes in media and education have all played their part in this transformation. From the first waves of immigration to the rise of individual national identities within the UK, we explore what’s been lost and gained. Are we really witnessing the end of an era, or is Britain simply becoming something new?
The same sort of thing is happening here in the USA.
Everywhere in the West.
So far Easterm Europe seems to be doing okay but they are only a generation behind.
Everywhere with a Deep State.

Yep. But Hungary, Poland, etc. are all just one bad election away from disaster. That’s my fear.
Consider the very effective Hungarian border fence. Because of it, there are no Muslim terror attacks in Hungary. But will that fence still be maintained if Orbán’s party loses an election over the price of potatoes, or some other silly thing?
Sorry for the pessimism there. It’s gonna be a tough road ahead.
(Everywhere with a Deep State.)
Yes. Everywhere with a Godless
Globalist New World Order Deep State.

I lived in the UK during the late 70s. There was a great contrast between Hindi and Muslim immigrants.
The Hindus did integrate into British Society. Their children rapidly integrated. The Hindus (mostly Indian) keep much of their traditions alive, their children not as much. Economically the Hindus helped Britain as they with rare exceptions were not on welfare.
The Muslims (mostly Pakistani) do not integrate into British Society and are a great economic drain on Britain due to the huge numbers on government assistance.
Their are exceptions to my above statements, but rare.
The Crown sent the best men to die in not one but two bankers' wars prior to 1950.
On the positive side, the availability of exotic food has increased.
Americanization also had much to do with Britain’s loss of identity. For better or for worse, Britain in the 1940s was a very different country. Modern improvements meant a loss of some typically British features.
Calling Charles Wesley...
“This video takes you through the journey of how Britain’s identity evolved ...”
Um. Evolved? More like devolved.

Which is why E Europe needs to pull out of the Pee-U and join us in a type of “Freedom Marketplace”.
I think what needs to happen is for the EU collapse.
Then you'll see nations start to watch out for themselves again.
Maybe not even the EU, especially with what is happening in the UK nowadays.
“the availability of exotic food has increased”
A lot of this imported stuff is very expensive.
Instead of a trade surplus in food, the US might in the future run a massive trade deficit in food.
And then consider the amount of Corona beer sold in the USA.

An Asian market has opened about 10 miles north of where I live.
I’ve never read about many of the things on offer and I have no idea how I might use them.
My area of Florida is becoming like Northern Virginia was in the 1990s.
Because they wanted to keep that feeling of national unity and everyone working together.
That works under genuine hardship and threat.
When imposed for no reason by the government it does not work.

Enoch Powell: I TRIED TO WARN YOU!
You are correct in identifying education as the core if the degradation.
A big factor that the video does not talk about is national depression over empire loss.
The UK in 1912 was THE superpower, occupying nearly a quarter of the world and having under London’s sway a quarter of the world’s population.
By 1970 it was broke, had to beg the IMF and had no empire.
The root cause of that was economic, not military. The UK like other empires, got complacent and lost to its upstart former north American colonies.
Societal shock happened, just as societal shock put native American and Australian aboriginal societies into a spiral of depression.
Eastern Europe is also in trouble. And Eastern Europe means Russian federation, Ukraine and Belarus.
Central Europe is doing ok, but the reason is that unlike western or eastern European countries which had colonies and lost the, the central European countries WERE colonies
