How Britain Found Its “Great” (And Lost It, Found It Again, and Keeps Trying)
A Cultural Manifesto of Identity, Irony, and Reinvention
What does it mean to be "Great" — and can a nation ever truly stay that way?
In this lyrical and story-driven episode, Roy Sharples explores Britain’s ongoing identity quest: from the rise of empire to the chaos of Brexit, from punk rock to AI labs, Shakespeare to Stormzy. This is not a love letter to nostalgia, but a poetic reckoning with what greatness means in the modern age — eccentric, inventive, resilient, and gloriously self-deprecating.
Why is British greatness not about power, but reinvention?
What connects Shakespeare, tea, punk, and Brexit?
Can a country be culturally radical while politically confused?
From the fog-draped roots of its past to the technicolor contradictions of its present, Britain isn’t marching — it’s muddling through. Still trying. Still adapting. Still Great — on its own peculiar terms.
Attitude. Imagination. Execution.
