One of the TES reviewers wrote about its earlier, free version: This is a great resource - with really thought provoking material that will definitely get the students talking and help them to understand the different perspectives in UK today. Thank you SO much!

It includes comprehensive coverage of main perspectives, a wide range of activities that can be very easily differentiated, as well as some valuable multimedia links.
