London’s Identity Crisis: Divided by Race and Middle Eastern Wars
In today’s video, filmed on a Saturday in central London, I attend both the Black on the Square and Pro-Palestine protests, witnessing firsthand how race and ideological divisions are tearing apart London’s identity. At Black on the Square, I critically question the focus on race over national unity, highlighting the growing influence of identity politics over shared cultural values. Meanwhile, the ongoing Palestine protests have moved beyond the issue of the Middle East, advocating for socialism, a caliphate, and a rising sentiment of anti-Israel views. These movements, fueled by divisions and radicalism, are reshaping the heart of London, making it feel increasingly unrecognizable to many, and pushing the English to the margins in their own capital. Has London lost its real identity, and what does this mean for its future? Join me as I explore these controversial topics and reflect on the deepening fractures within a city that no longer feels like home to so many.
