what are these 'British values' you speak of?
I think he refers to British Values as what we like to believe British values are. Moderation , tolerance, openness, creativity, courage etc .
I think in reality they ceased to be British values a long time ago and greed, suspicion, fear, short termism, blame etc have replaced them .
I am not sure the Britain we all like to believe in ever existed, the glorious days of empire were built on slums, exploitation, slavery , child labour and power and not as the propagandists of the time painted it. Yes we came together as a nation from WW1 to the seventies more than we ever had but thatcher realised the way to win and to drive change is to divide and create enemies within and without and I think from this debate it is easy to see this trend has continued.
It is frightening to see in the press and from some comments on here almost disappointment that a hard right Austrian facist did not get into power - that is incredibly sad and is an awful reflection on societies values today. But fear always drives people to search for someone to blame as it is hard to acknowledge we are all responsible for the predicaments we are in - certainly anyone over about 25 anyway.
