The narrative centers around Joseph Giant, an Oxford professor who challenges political correctness in the face of what he perceives as a growing threat from the outspoken Muslim community in Britain. He argues that traditional customs, such as church bells ringing on Sundays, are being undermined to appease a minority, reflecting his concerns about cultural shifts and the erosion of British values. Giant's provocative stance raises questions about freedom of expression and the balance between multiculturalism and national identity.
