In this explosive Heretics interview, David Goodhart – author of The Road to Somewhere and creator of the Anywheres vs Somewheres framework – explains how rapid demographic change, declining English ethnicity, eroded solidarity, and over-dominance of mobile educated elites are fracturing Britain. From the famous "Bus Stop Test" failing in many neighbourhoods to the collapse of welfare willingness, family breakdown, fertility crisis, and the shift toward majority-minority towns, Goodhart delivers unfiltered insights on integration failures, cultural transformation, populism, and the urgent need for balance and stability.
