There'll always be an England

Britain's White British population is forecast to become a minority in the 2060s. Do we face a future of civil unrest? Can Britain be Saved?

Next year, the New Culture Forum will mark its 20th anniversary. The past twenty years have seen Britain experience unprecedented demographic, cultural and social change. What lies ahead for the next 20 years - indeed, for the next 40 years?

Britain's White British population is forecast to become a minority in the UK by 2066. If the British people are an ethnic minority, will Britain still be Britain?

As sectarianism rears its ugly head on the British mainland, will we have a future of civil unrest?

Can the United Kingdom stay united?

What will replace the common bonds that traditionally unite a people: sport, music, royal & national events, a shared history and culture.

Is it too late to save Britain - or do we still have time to reverse the damage?

These questions and more will be explored in this special New Culture Forum Smith Lecture.

Traditionally, our annual Smith Lecture features a notable public figure. As we enter our 20th year, this year's Smith Lecture will instead feature our NCF's best-known speakers:

* Peter Whittle, NCF Founder & Director

* Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, NCF Senior Fellow, broadcaster & historian of British national identity

* Dr. Philip Kiszely, NCF Senior Fellow & NCF Locals national coordinator, cultural historian

* Emma (Webb) Trimble, NCF Fellow, broadcaster, GB News presenter & theologian
