Fabian Society says recent fights don’t reflect genuine divisions and risk fracturing
British discourse
Much of the focus on so-called “culture war” issues in the
UK is based on confected controversies, a thinktank analysis has suggested, with the debate artificially inflamed by politicians and commentators and then amplified by
Social Media.
While some countries waged such battles over more genuine societal divides, the UK’s culture wars simply pitted deprived communities against each other and tended to “caricature” movements for equality, the Fabian Society said.
