The brainchild of Diane Louise Jordan, MOBB  is a mass collection of stories from all over the United Kingdom exploring what it means to be British; a uniquely British story about nationality, citizenship, identity and belonging, with the ambition of being the UK’s biggest ever audio and digital gathering exercise. At the heart of MOBB’s mission is the creation of an oral history archive, which documents the transformation of mainland Britain (or the British metropole) from the start of mass migration from Commonwealth nations post war. It takes the British Nationality Act of 1948 as its anchor point, which recognised Commonwealth subjects as British citizens and recognised their right to work and reside in the UK on an equal status to other British residents.
