Values

Available for 26 days

In Common Ground, Evan Davis travels around the UK to find out how divided we really are. The series asks whether our society is really becoming increasingly polarised and what people across the country are doing to build stronger communities and connections. In this episode Evan looks at values. In recent weeks social unrest and violence prompted by the murder of Henry Nowak in Southampton and the brutal attack of Stephen Ogilvie in Belfast have marked the country. How divided are we by different political views? Evan travels to Southampton to talk to people are how they are really feeling: whether they feel our shared values are under threat, what they feel is fuelling that threat, and how they want to address it. Are we as a country as angry as it seems? He'll also be joined by an expert panel to delve further into these questions.
