I think this is more specifically about the culture of fear in our society and how politicians have created it. We are all so close to each other (geographically, socially) and yet we are scared of pulling back and being seen as individuals. The brass section reflects the different noises (soundbites) that we hear from politicians through the media which on their own might make sense yet because they are all contradictory (arguing among themselves) the result is utter confusion.
I think the title refers to the fact that most of the UK (and elsewhere) is homogenised and therefore the message applies to EVERYONE.
It reminds me of a Radiohead tee-shirt I have which is the UK map on its side with crying minotaurs all over it.
