That's a good question.

If you are sincere then the question might best be split in two

1. Is there a common British culture?

2. If so what does it look like?

Labour doesn't like talking about culture but it does like talking about values. Lucy Powell, the shadow secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport wrote the following in June last year....

"As we come together as a nation to celebrate the Queen’s remarkable platinum jubilee, we also unite around our bunting and flags in a moment of pure British patriotism. Being patriotic isn’t something that Labour has always looked comfortable with, but progressive politics has been at its most successful and transformational when it captures the best of British values, nurtures our world-famous institutions and instils a belief that our best days lie ahead of us, not just in the past....
The vast majority of decent Britons believe in live and let live, love and let love. In the words of my good friend Jo Cox, we have much more that unites us than that which divides us. Tolerance, openness and generosity are core British beliefs.

A quick survey across British politics today tells us that it’s not the Conservatives that enshrine these patriotic principles but Labour.
First, our British values, which we hold dear and are known for around the world: diplomacy, rule of law, decency and integrity. Our country has always led the way as a measured and decent example to the world.....
But patriotism is also a belief, confidence and determination that our country’s future can be better than our past, and a promise to British people that the next generation will do better than the last."

Do you reckon there's anything in this?
