Britons Reluctant to Trust Others with Different Values
A new poll shows 75% of Britons would not trust people with different values or backgrounds.
Britain's latest survey, released on 19 January 2026, finds that on average three‑quarters of Britons (around 75 %) would not place their trust in people whose values or cultural background differs from them. The poll also shows that only 24 % of respondents say they would extend trust across such differences. The data, compiled by an unnamed research firm, highlights growing social divisions in the UK and mirrors similar findings from previous years. With trust erosion cited as a key concern, policymakers and social‑impact organisations are flagging the results as a call to enhance community engagement and inter‑group dialogue. The study draws attention to the urgent need for initiatives that bridge the gaps in values and beliefs across Britain.
