Zing Tsjeng travels around the UK to find out what it means to be British

Zing Tsjeng wonders what it means to be British. She travels around the UK to find out.

Zing Tsjeng, executive editor at VICE UK, is on a journey around the UK trying to figure out what being British is all about. After living in the UK half her life, she wants to decide whether to trade her Singaporean passport for a British one. It's a tough dilemma, as Singapore doesn't allow dual nationality, and swapping the citizenship of the country she was raised in for the one she now calls home feels like a big deal. Can talking to people from all over the country about their national and local identity help her decide whether to take the plunge and become British?
