When times are hard we shut our doors to the world and move towards an Island mentality. This is happening now. I have just done some research with working class people and the "Island mentality is definitley back."
The respondents believed the following:
(1) Britain is becoming over-crowded
(2) Overcrowding is associated with economic problems
(3) Belief that immigrants are being given priority
(4) Often there is a belief that immigrants are responsible for crime The Island mentality is not only frightening but has massive implications for marketing
(5) There is a move away from foreign cultures
(6) There is a move away from being open minded
(7) There is a move back to buying British
So in the next few years expect the following:
(1) Much more nationalistic chest beating ads
(2) More companies connecting their the British flag
(3) Immigration becoming a higher priority within the political arena
