‘Contemplating the Colors of Controversy: Britain's Banner and the Burden of History.’

As Britain grapples with the implications of the newly passed Rwanda Bill and the tumultuous St. George's Day celebrations, Tracy prompts us to examine the deeper values and associations tied to being British in 2024.
