A UK poll reveals that more than half of British people think their national identity is disappearing because of diversity. The report, titled 'Britain Under Strain: The Broken Social Contract, Democratic Distrust and the Mainstreaming of Extremism' by research firm More in Common, said that 55% of people surveyed believe that heterogeneity has eroded their national identity.
'What it means to be British, and who that identity belongs to, has become a genuine fault line, not confined to any one political tribe, generation or region,' said lead researcher Dame Sara Khan, the former government adviser on extremism. 'Concern that diversity is eroding national identity is now a mainstream view, held by a majority of Britons.'
