Robert Tombs – co-author of the new book, Our Island Story: A Better Story About Britain – joins spiked’s Fraser Myers to discuss the demonisation of Britain’s past, the madness of singling out Britain over slavery, why progressives loathe patriotism, who gets to be English and why Remainers are blind to Europe’s problems.
