What does it mean to be British?

Zoom discussion meeting

Tuesday 11 November 2025 19:00

The ruling class continues to denigrate the referendum votes for the unity of Britain in 2014 and for exit from the EU in 2016. Their distaste for British workers exercising their political power is evident, even in such a small thing as defiantly flying flags.

To be British is simple – you live and work here, nowhere else. But the existence of an independent nation can’t be taken for granted. And it doesn’t matter if it’s the EU or USA trying to dominate our lives: both should be opposed.

Come and discuss. Email info@cpbml.org.uk for an invitation.
