During the research of Let's Rebrand Britain, I have discovered many references to Britishness, especially during my Googling. Today I listened to Radio 4's programme called Britishness. Click here to listen to the show.
It was interesting to hear the view of the general public on Britishness. We have launched our own online survey, and we can't wait to see the results. During the Radio 4 show, Matthew d'Ancona explored the meaning of 'Britishness'.
Words used to describe Britain:
Stiff upper lip;
Pub;
Mortgage;
Fish & Chips;
Roast Beef on Sunday;
Shopping;
Eccentric;
Standards;
Monarchy;
Harrods.
The programme explored the British National Identity. Many people who were interviewed, considered themselves English, Scottish, Irish or Welsh. But not British.
Michael Gove MP contributed to the show, and commented that he thinks the subject of Britishness is just a political stunt to persuade people voting for Gordon Brown.
May we reassure you that Let's Rebrand Britain is for people passionate about places and people – not politics! Vicky, the founder of Let's Rebrand Britain, is in it because she is passionate about Britain, and wants to feel like a proud Brit, instead of feeling ashamed.

About Me
- Let's Rebrand Britain
- I have been rebranding businesses since 1988 and decided to go it alone and set up an innovative creative agency called The Brand Surgery, which has been going since 2003. I am passionate about art and design, and making the best of oneself. My business is my hobby, so I find it relaxing working in my business, although it drives my friends and family absolutely mad. I have alway felt a need to fix problems, within a personal or business aspect – which is probably why I am still single, as men feel threatened by my desire to 'fix-it' and offer solutions. According to the book, Men are from Mars, girls should leave the fixing to the boys if they want to maintain a healthy relationship!! Most importantly, I am passionate about making Britain, Great Britain again, and need to know if the general public would be behind this, otherwise I will be wasting my time. I am praying that others feel as passionate as me, to get stuck in and not leave it all to the Government.
