It’s a cliché that Britain’s power as a nation is linked to the English language, so much so that prime minister Theresa May assured the public that Brexit would be a success because “our language is the language of the world” and Boris Johnson complained that there were “too many people in our cities who […]

The political and economic agenda of the United Kingdom has been dominated for the last two years by the result of the 2016 Brexit referendum. A few days after the referendum, in which 52% of voters voted to leave the European Union, the Islamic State organisation praised Brexit for destabilising ‘crusader Europe’. ISIS represented a […]
