Immigration as a Strategic Driver for Brexit
This paper analyses the Right-Wing British Tabloid Press’s (RWBTP) influence on the outcome of the 2016 UK referendum on EU membership. Focusing on The Sun, The Daily Mail, and The Daily Express, it examines their ‘agenda setting’ role both historically and during the referendum campaign. We argue that from the mid-1980s onward the RWBTP trivialised and negated the EU through a twin strategy of trivialised ‘soft disinformation’ combined with a re…
Nationalism in Internationalism
Tabloid Tales
This article focuses on the role of the British tabloid press (BTP), and specifically the eurosceptic press, as a ‘supply‐side’ influence on the 2016 EU referendum. First, we focus on the BTP and its role as an ‘agenda‐setter’ in shaping eurosceptic discourse regarding the UK's relationship with the EU. Second, we use content analysis of five tabloid newspapers – The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Daily Mirror, The Daily Express and The Daily Star to d…
Irish-EU Relations
What to do about inequality? Public opinion support for the European Union and further European integration in the Republic of Ireland
This paper investigates individual’s perceptions of inequality and the impact this has on mass public opinion support for the European Union (EU) in the Republic of Ireland. This question is posed in the context of the onset of the economic and financial crisis of 2007/8 as the crisis can be regarded as a critical juncture in Ireland’s relationship with the EU as a result of the economic downturn and the widening of economic disparities individua…
European Union crises and Irish public opinion
Individuals in Ireland are among the most enthusiastic supporters of European integration since European Union (EU) accession in 1973, and are often labelled ‘good Europeans with a pro-integrationist attitude’. The 2008 financial crisis is regarded as a turning point in Ireland’s relationship with the EU as a result of the economic downturn and the widening of economic disparities experienced by individuals. Meanwhile, Brexit poses significant an…
Europe and Northern Ireland’s future
The UK’s decision to leave the EU represents a critical juncture for the UK and its constituent parts highlighting the political, socio-economic, ideological, geographic and demographic divisions
Another chance? Concerns about inequality, support for the European Union and further European integration
Following the 2007–2008 financial crisis, it was expected that the economic downturn and the widening of economic disparities would produce lower support for the European Union (EU) and its continued integration. Using the 2009 European Election Study (EES) data in 27 EU member states, we find that citizens who see greater economic instability and insecurity, regardless of their current economic status, lower their support for the EU as it is but…
Investigating Sexuality Discourses in the U.K. Secondary English Curriculum
This article reports on findings from a small-scale study that investigated sexuality discourses in the U.K. secondary English curriculum. In addition to conducting a critical analysis of English curriculum documents, interviews were also conducted with some English teachers and young lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT)-identified people who attended, or had recently left, secondary school in Birmingham, U.K. Key findings indicate that…
