“British Values”—a term you’ve likely heard throughout your life. But what does it truly mean? From its origins under New Labour to its codification in government policy during the Cameron era, this concept has been invoked to define Britain’s identity in the age of multiculturalism. This video explores the history of “British Values,” tracing its roots to social and political crises, including the ethnic riots of the early 2000s, and examines its evolution into a politically crafted doctrine. What are these values meant to represent? Have they replaced our deeper, richer sense of national identity with something shallow and ideological? Through an analysis of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance, we challenge the narrative that these alone define what it means to be British. We argue for a return to a holistic understanding of Britishness: a heritage deeply rooted in shared history, culture, and people. Join us as we confront the ideological project that seeks to redefine Britain and discuss how we can preserve our ancestral homeland, identity, and future.
