London Washington, D.C.
Our Mission
878 is a leading British and American think tank, dedicated to strengthening the civilisational partnership between the United Kingdom and the United States.
We are establishing the first permanent British think tank presence in Washington, positioning 878 as the premier institution for the Anglo-American relationship, freedom’s most important bond.
878 works across legislation, research, media and campaigns. We strengthen, rejuvenate and promote the deepest bonds – those upon which human civilisation in our century shall depend.
Focus Areas
We focus on the existential threats to Britain, to America, and to our shared Judeo-Christian civilisation. These threats are to be found both at home and abroad. The responses to these challenges will include, but are not limited to:
Restoring our Judeo-Christian culture and Constitution.
Ending mass-immigration and deporting illegal immigrants.
Rebuilding our armed forces and national defence.
Rejuvenating energy abundance for urgent re-industrialisation.
About 878
Our name – from the pivotal year of 878 AD – conveys the urgency of our own era. Britain and its closest allies are facing peril. But through the rediscovery of our ancient culture, making the right choices, and finding the will to face down our philosophical and military adversaries, our civilisation will survive and thrive.
Now more than ever, it is incumbent on us all to rediscover and nurture the roots of our shared English-speaking civilisation in order to defend it.
At 878, we are renewing our Judeo-Christian culture and civilisational mission. Future leaders in Britain and America will need to appreciate the deepest roots of our political life and our freedoms. Working with scholars in Israel and other closely allied nations, we are rejuvenating knowledge of the origins of our constitutional tradition. We build friendships with our closest civilisational allies to restore both the fabric of our countries and the resolve of our future leadership.
878 Founding Directors
Dr Radomir Tylecote.
As first Managing Director of the Prosperity Institute (formerly Legatum Institute), Radomir brought US think tank methods to Britain, including in-house legislation drafting. He is a former Special Adviser to the Brexit Governments of Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.
At the Institute of Economic Affairs, he co-authored Plan A+: Creating a Prosperous Post-Brexit UK, Britain’s most publicised think-tank release, which “changed Brexit history” (The Telegraph). Plan A+ formed the basis of Britain’s post-Brexit independent trade policy.
At Civitas, Radomir published Inadvertently Arming China?, an investigation into British university funding by Chinese military-linked organisations. Making international front-page news, the paper was the subject of a major BBC documentary. This followed an MPhil at Cambridge University and double-scholarship quant PhD at Imperial College London.
