- representation of immigration as an issue - the sun newspaper
- the cover image is a montage of different british cultural traditions that we should be proud of
- e.g. fish 'n' chip shops, Loch ness monster, and the typical red London bus
- these are also quite stereotypical elements of British identity, what foreign tourists may expect from a visit to the UK.
- the sun isn't just reinforcing these stereotypes; it is saying that if we don't celebrate and protect them then will be 'betraying' Britain.
- the only way to 'protect' British identity is for MP's to vote in favor of the Brexit bill
- the landmarks and traditions are closely associated with England and particularly the South of England where there was strong support for Brexit.
- there is only 1 northern landmark (the angle of the north) and no representations of Scotland and northern Ireland except for loch ness.
- this may be because Scotland and northern Ireland both voted to remain, so are not part of the sun's target audience
- the sun also does have specific Irish and Scottish editions, so this may also explain the greater focus of England
- this may be because Scotland and northern Ireland both voted to remain, so are not part of the sun's target audience
- the strapline ' for a greater britain' implies, along with 'the sun says...' suggests the sun has a clearer definition of what makes Britain great than others, and implies the reader should trust it's vision
- the cover image is a montage of different british cultural traditions that we should be proud of
