Almost half of the British sometimes feel like a stranger in their country – the blame for their family work and “incorporation failure”.
A shocking report revealed a decline in social cohesion across the country, with half of the doubts saying they felt disconnected from society.
Before Sir Keir Starmer was controversial, more than 13,000 adults were investigated, warning that without strict migration rules, “we risk becoming a stranger island, not a country moving forward together”.
The pollsters’ research is more common, as part of a major project called the problem of the place, and also found that the sense of isolation is not just due to the changes in the UK population.
Asian British people are more likely to be as strangers as their own country (47%) than white British people (44%).
Focus groups found that technology is often associated with the decline of social life.
“I think after the pandemic, more “work at home” has evolved, which actually ruins our younger generation,” a support worker named Ruqayyah told the researchers.
“It’s very easy to do everything on your phone, as far as the community is concerned.

Others say they will only “text” their friends, not have coffee with them, and because of COVID, they no longer socialize in the bar.
The study also found that young British people trust others less trust.
Most people who questioned it believe that no matter their ethnic background, a person can be British. However, most (73%) also said more work is needed to encourage integration among people of different backgrounds.
The Prime Minister was forced to stand in his “Stranger Island” remarks and was accused of using the language of Enoch Powell’s infamous 1968 “Blood River” speech. Mr. Powell once said that the native British population “found themselves as strangers in their own country” due to mass immigration. Downing Street said there is no comparison between these phrases.
Another Yougov poll found that 53% of people agreed with PM’s sentiment, and half thought his language was acceptable. The investigation also found that the government would lower immigration levels with little confidence.

About 41% say labor policy will be “no difference”, while only one in five thinks it will reduce them. More co-director Luke Tryl said: “Most importantly, this study shows that there is a urgent need to consider again how we can rebuild a unified and cohesive society.

The Prime Minister warned that we risk becoming a “stranger island” resonated with millions of people who said they felt disconnected from those around them.
“But the only reason why immigration and lack of integration is our broken social structure is wrong. Openly point to a range of forces that drive us to disassemble: some quoted retreats from workplaces to screens; others talked about the loss of shared spaces and rituals that once united us. ”
