BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, Having the 'Wrong' Politics

Zoe Strimpel discusses growing divides between our social groupings.

Zoe Strimpel on what happens when your politics fail to fit neatly into one particular tribe.

"As the culture war has heated up," writes Zoe Strimpel, "every word and tweet is vested with the insignia of identity, and neutrality is no longer an acceptable carpet under which to hide." 
Zoe discusses how subjects which were, until fairly recently, little more than sources of minor disagreements now form "the basis of warring social groups."   

Producer:  Adele Armstrong
