Brexit: How, When and What? | Tor Clark | TEDxLeicester

Brexit: How, When and What? Brexit is dividing the UK like nothing else in recent memory. How did we get here? Where will it lead us and is there a reasonable way out of this bitter battle between two entrenched sides? Attempting to analyse Brexit from as non-partisan a position as possible, long-time political journalist and journalism academic Tor Clark suggests reasons from our past why Brexit is affecting the British people and politicians in such extreme ways and suggests a way the warring parties might eventually be able to repair their divisions. Tor Clark is Associate Professor in Journalism and programme director of the new Journalism degree at the University of Leicester. Tor entered journalism 30 years ago as a reporter on free newspapers in East Anglia, rising to become editor of Britain’s oldest newspaper, the Rutland & Stamford Mercury. He also edited the Harborough and Lutterworth Mail in south Leicestershire. For the last 15 years Tor has been a regular contributor to BBC Radio Leicester, offering analysis of politics and journalism. As a political journalist Tor has covered every general election since 1992, the last three with BBC Leicester, where he offers analysis on the station’s live all-night election broadcast team. He has co-edited several recent books on journalism and politics, including Brexit, Trump and the Media, published by Abramis in 2017. He has just launched the University of Leicester’s first ever Journalism degree, which will be welcoming its first students in two weeks’ time.
