| Description | Tracks 1 to 13 record Joshi's views on aspects of multi-cultural Britain. Issues considered include calls for immigrants to integrate into British society, which Joshi considered as potential cultural subjugation. He also identified the British Commonwealth as a device to continue the economic subservience of former colonies. Joshi provides a critique of multi-racism, contrasting its promotion through the Commonwealth for the benefit of capitalists and its rejection within the domestic British environment. Charles Parker observes that British jingoism and chauvinism has resulted in a 'dreadful erosion of working class identity'. (Track 8) Joshi offers advice on what should be included in the Banner production, in particular drawing out the irony of poverty amongst the white working class at a time when British capitalists were making great profits from exploiting people in the Empire.
Joshi also discusses his reasons for coming to England. (Track 13)
