Of those, 17% said they cheated physically, while 18% revealed that their infidelity was emotional – and 12% said they’d done both. Which begs the question: what actually counts as cheating?  After all, the same survey showed that not all Brits agree about whether mental or sexual cheating is “worse”. In fact, respondents couldn’t even get on the same page about what counted as cheating in the first place.  Here’s what they thought about topics like OnlyFans, AI chatbots, and dating apps.  What did respondents think was the “worst” kind of cheating?  To anyone who’s ever said, “but they didn’t mean anything to me!”, 40% of Brits said physical cheating without an emotional connection is worse than mental infidelity without sexual activity.  Only 25% thought emotional cheating with no “action” was more hurtful.  Men, in particular, tended to think physical infidelity was worse (46% vs 20%), while …

Report: Most Brits think UK is a secular country

Report: Most Brits think UK is a secular country

Published by Sam Flores

Most Britons think the UK is a secular country, a new report has found. The report, Britain Under Strain, is the first publication of new think tank UK Extremism and Democratic Resilience Centre. It was co-authored by former counter-extremism commissioner Sara Khan and is based on polling of over 4,000 UK adults by More In Common. Fifty-nine percent of respondents described the UK as “a secular country, not based on any single faith”, compared with 41% who say the UK is “built on Judeo-Christian values, and we should defend that identity”. Over two-thirds (67%) of Reform voters agreed with the latter characterisation, while only 52% of Christians agreed. Of those who said the UK is built on Judeo-Christian values, 64% were “open to ethnonationalism”. The findings echo those of the National Secular Society’s 2026 report Britons and Secularism, also based on More In Common polling, which found Brits were over twice as likely to think religion makes Britain less rather than more cohesive. Integration and social cohesion Britain Under Strain found 42% percent of Brits …

The Brits Should Declare Their Independence, Too

The Brits Should Declare Their Independence, Too

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker, British tyranny is globalism, and globalism must be destroyed. British tyranny is so repulsive that the British people owe it to themselves to overthrow their government masters.  It has been two-hundred-fifty years since America’s Declaration of Independence recognized the Crown system as a threat to Americans’ lives and liberties.  English-speaking peoples still suffering under the British yoke should follow suit. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a near-total ban on social media for children under sixteen years old.  Ten of the most popular social media platforms are now age-restricted, with the toxic-leftist Bluesky platform a notable exception.  The government claims to be “protecting children” from online harm.  That’s a lie.  If the British government cared about protecting British children, government ministers and police forces would not have covered up Islamic rape gangs targeting children for three-plus decades.  The British government would not censor online reporting of foreigners murdering young Brits.  The British government has systematically chosen to sacrifice the United Kingdom’s children. This online “safety” measure must be understood, then, as a ruse meant to expand the government’s control over online information.  Australia, New …

Last One Laughing is the funniest show on TV – it shows what Brits do best

Last One Laughing is the funniest show on TV – it shows what Brits do best

Published by Daniella Wilson

**Warning: Contains MAJOR SPOILERS for Last One Laughing UK.** Who would have thought that Prime Video could’ve topped the utter hilarity of Last One Laughing UK season 1? Between Bob Mortimer and Richard Ayoade speed dating, to Danny Dyer giving the cast acting lessons and surprise appearances from Nick Mohammed and Alison Hammond, it seemed impossible to do any better. Enter the casting team of season 2. Affectionately dubbed the “deadpan daddies” by Roisin Conaty, this year’s cast include a true variety of comics, many of whom lasted longer than anticipated due to their deadpan nature, from Romesh Ranganathan to Diane Morgan. Were they any good at the game by making the other comics laugh or did they manage to stay so long because they have in their locker what Brits know and love: sarcastic and deadpan humour? Diane Morgan, for example, is beloved for her role as Liz on Motherland, a no-nonsense and unflinching mum who remains cool and under pressure after cutting off her finger. And then there’s Philomena Cunk. It’s interesting to …

Brits miss out on £1,600 by not doing one simple thing | UK | News

Published by Sam Flores

Brits may be missing out on an average of £1,600 by not checking the value of their car before they put it up for sale.   According to new research, 45% are unhappy about the amount of money we get for our vehicles, with a quarter saying they’ve lost out because they didn’t know its true value. The root of the problem, according to the study commissioned by Autotrader, is that 44% of British drivers don’t know what their car is worth or how to check it. (51%).  Experts at the automotive marketplace say that this means the average person could miss out on £1,600 – a month’s salary after tax for many. Erin Baker, editorial director at Autotrader, said: “So many people worry they’re not getting the best deal when they sell their car, and the research shows that fear is justified.” The survey suggests that a major issue is misconceptions around car sales and valuations. Almost a third (29%) of those polled think that getting a car valued takes several hours rather than a …

Young Brits are searching for meaning, not religion

Young Brits are searching for meaning, not religion

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Series: Humanist perspectives Author: Jeremy Rodell In this article, Humanists UK’s Dialogue Officer, Jeremy Rodell, dives a bit deeper into recent claims that Christianity is growing among the young. The Bible Society’s The Quiet Revival report is both interesting and controversial – interesting because it claims that there is an increase in churchgoing, controversial because, as Richy Thompson’s article makes clear, there is a profound mismatch between these supposed increases, and the actual noted decrease in real church attendance reported recorded by the churches themselves.  What to make of it? Seen as a social phenomenon, religion has three main dimensions: belief, belonging, and behaviour. As we know from the British Social Attitudes Survey and the Census, self-identification with Christianity has declined in the UK over many decades – that’s ‘belonging’. The Bible Society’s study is instead focused on religious practice (‘behaviour’), although it also reports on belonging and belief. It puts Christian identity in 2024 at just under 40 percent, below the 46 percent in the 2021 Census. Nothing new or controversial there. On belief, …

The Brits are taking representation seriously, but there are three issues that still need fixing

Sign up to Roisin O’Connor’s free weekly newsletter Now Hear This for the inside track on all things music Get our Now Hear This email for free There was a palpable nervousness surrounding this year’s Brit Award nominations – and I mean, no wonder. Just two years after the introduction of genderless categories – a move that was supposed to encourage diversity at an awards show with a history of favouritism towards male pop singers – the 2023 nominations sparked yet another row as it was revealed that all contenders in both the Artist of the Year and International Artist of the Year categories were male. Compared to previous years where the imbalance was there for all to see but glossed over by officials, this year’s Brits organisers seemed determined to address the issue head-on. The Artist of the Year categories were expanded from five nominees to 10, and finally, the R&B category – previously lumped in with pop, meaning actual R&B singers got left out in the cold – was afforded its own space. …
