Opis

By 2022 an increasing number of Britons were asking themselves "what has gone wrong?" Great Britain – a nation with an imperial history, a nation of profound innovators, a nation steeped in tradition and pride. The more complex the picture, the more difficult it is to see clearly exactly what the problems are. Solutions are rarely blindingly obvious and yet the seeds of the problems may well be staring us in the eye. Either in the conference room, at the dinner table, or in the mirror. Here we accompany a typical British family from 1955 to 2022. Their dialogues reveal historical parallels and interesting insights into perceived "Britishness" over this period. Their lives and their beliefs, their travels and experiences, their attitudes, and expectations, expose them for what they are: an average family of the time. For they, and others like them, were weaving the thread into the British flag. The respective comments take us down the path leading to the social and political situation of 2022. The mirror held before us shows that what Abraham Lincoln once said remains true today: "you've got to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was." Every single person has the possibility to change what they see in their own mirror, and in society's mirror. All that is necessary is to acknowledge that needs must.
