Economic deprivation, along with the ever increasing closure of pubs, reflect a dissatisfaction in living conditions, particularly when living side by side with ethnic minority groups, who are often presented by some sections of the right-wing media as being the cause for such issues. The present work aims to bring the reader closer to understanding to the thoughts and feelings of those discontented by levels of immigration, multicultural policies and feelings of betrayal by mainstream politicians. This paper will document the lived experiences and perceptions of the neglected white-working classes. I will also show the importance of taking into account cultural attachments when studying nationalism, in addition to the economic deprivation that reinforces such attachments. Furthermore, I wish to elaborate upon how policies of multiculturalism, take a problematic essentialist view of culture, that further reinforces ethnic segregation within ethnically diverse communities.
