About this product

Product Information

Fully updated Mass Market Paperback edition of the bestselling political title Things fall apart when empires crumble. This time, we think, things will be different. They are not. This time, we are told, we will become great again. We will not. In this new edition of the hugely successful Rule Britannia, Danny Dorling and Sally Tomlinson argue that the vote to leave the EU was the last gasp of the old empire working its way out of the British psyche. Fuelled by a misplaced nostalgia, the result was driven by a lack of knowledge of Britain's imperial history, by a profound anxiety about Britain's status today, and by a deeply unrealistic vision of our future. Whatever happens next, Britain will be - and has already been - inevitably diminished by the Brexit vote. There is no welcoming group of countries ready to swiftly embrace new trading relationships with us. And yet, there is hope. In this wide-ranging and thoughtful analysis, Dorling and Tomlinson argue that if Britain can reconcile itself to a new beginning, there will be the chance to carve out a new identity.

  • Enlightening reading

    It is a must-read. The book clearly explains why the UK voted Brexit, and why the anachronistic imperial mindset behind that is only going to delude and damage the country. It is enlightening reading.

  • Excellent book for Remainers, eye-opener for Brexiters

    Finding a book critical of Brexit is difficult, but Dorling doesn't pull any punches. Unfortunately, Brexit voters are probably not going to read it, because they don't like hearing about facts.
