The aim of the article is to analyze the concept “Britishness”, peculiarities of its language representation in the situation of the post Brexit policy in the modern British media discourse. It can be presented by a number of semantic meanings which find their expression in specific contexts determined by the basic task of Media language, i.e. to transfer information not only objectively but in accordance with particular attitudes and beliefs.
