VIDEO: Is preaching 'inclusivity' dividing the country?
I recently took part in an interview with a Swedish media channel. The discussion focused on questions of identity and patriotism - in particular whether the St George’s flag is divisive (it isn’t, obviously), the Left’s general hostility to patriotic sentiment, and how the philosophy of multiculturalism has served to drive many of our communities apart rather than unite them. The interview can be viewed below. Enjoy!

By definition, as one of the home Nations’ flags, the St George’s flag of England can be no more or less divisive than the flags of Northern Ireland, Wales and particularly Scotland which is flown proudly and often north of the border. It’s a pity people of a modern perspective don’t see that the Union flag combines all of them so SHOULD be a source of unity and our shared values and ambitions.
Well argued, Paul.
As someone on the right if the political spectrum, I agree with everything you said.
The problem with preaching inclusively the way it has been done in the UK is that it is only inclusive of those who form part of a political grouping rather than including people from the whole range of views held by the population of the country.
