Show Notes
Patriotism could be the antidote to the divisions created by Brexit. Can you be a proud patriot even when you don’t agree with your country? Will patriotism ever cast off it’s sinister connotations of nationalism? Ros Taylor is joined in The Bunker by Sunder Katwala, author of How to Be a Patriot: Why love of country can end our very British culture war, to explore what British patriotism means in an increasingly globalised age.
- “Dangerous patriotism is the version that says it's them or us.”
- “The European Identity sounds like a Whiter concept than British identity.”
- “People on the left have less problems with civic patriotism of cities over national identity.”
