At the EnlightenNext UK Centre in London, Chris Parish gave a rousing follow-up recently to his popular talk which took place last autumn on the British penchant for cynicism. In this, his more recent foray into British ways entitled Our Potential Beyond British Cynicism, Chris’s take on the British propensity for the cynical view and barbed retort was every bit as lively, humorous and on-the-mark as was last autumn’s original inquiry into the topic. Only this time, Parish focused more on how to get his compatriots out of the quagmire they’re in rather than helping them see their predicament in the first place.
In doing so, Parish pointed out to his audience that there is life after empire and reminded us of the many achievements and cultural contributions that have their origin in this small, island nation. Britain can be great again, he suggested, if we direct our gaze forward rather than lament the loss of our far-flung protectorates. Check out this audio clip to find out what insights Parish had to offer.
