Counterculture 1.02: What Has Brexit Revealed About Britain?

This week on CounterCulture, the panel debate whether the political shenanigans post Brexit referendum have damaged Britain and its institutions and how they are perceived by the British public. Joining Rafe Heydel-Mankoo are journalists & political and cultural commentators: Tim Stanley Madeline Grant Tom Harwood David Oldroyd-Bolt Among the questions explored are: * Is Britain broken? If so, was it broken by Brexit or did Brexit merely reveal long-existing damage? * Peter Oborne's book "Triumph of the Political Class": Has the post-1997 political class ushered in by Blair & Mandelson and continued by Brown & Cameron brought us here? Will they triumph or collapse?. * What, if anything, has Brexit exposed/revealed about us, our elites, institutions and nation/union? * What dangers, if any, are posed by a great swathe of the British public having this "revelation". Once seen by the British public, can it be "unseen"? * What happens now? Can/Should Britain be fixed? Is it worth fixing? * Is Brexit/the General Election about to prematurely force the political realignment in British politics that some have seen coming for some time? (Dr. Stephen Davies, Prof. Matthew Goodwin thesis: politics is aligning on cultural/values lines rather than class: Thus we would have Brexit party + Blue Labour + Tory "right" on one side and Labour right + Tory left + Lib Dems on the other) #NCFCounterCulture
