One massive challenge to the future of the UK is history of the UK is no longer taught accurately in schools, and this started decades ago, so most people have no idea on key events in our history. We do not learn the lessons from history because we don’t know them.

The people of the UK have to reconcile their differences and unite as friends and family, for that is who they are. One island, one people, one family of different cultures and nations. Britons are at their best when they are kind, generous, compassionate, considerate and are of service to others. No matter the future, Unity is what will see the British Isles through.
