Indeed, heated disagreements over issues ranging from Brexit and political correctness to free speech, the British empire and more, seem to suggest it's getting harder than ever to see past cultural divides. But what's the reality? Are we heading down the same path as the US, or are these concerns overblown? Join our panel to discuss what we can learn from America's experience of cultural conflict and polarisation – and whether it can help the UK chart a different course.
