The great national strategy of... flag-shagging. Because nothing says 'I love my country' like buying a plastic flag and letting it turn to tatters on a lamppost.

This. Show them a bit of Chaucer or play some folk music & they’d have no idea what you were talking about. They love the fantasy version of England in their heads 🤪🤣

It's refreshing to see flag shaggers who can see their own feet.

The flag was knocked from Genoa, the man from somewhere in Anatolia ish. Much of English heritage is imported. Millenia of invasion and invading has created modern England.

They appropriated the word "loot" from India to describe their own looting.

Cultural Appropriation is done by everyone. Can you name me a people anywhere in the world that hasn't appropriated culturally something from another people?

I've known some good people from several Morris teams in England. I really hope Morris and other English folk dances/traditions aren't getting caught up in all this racist bullshit.

I discovered Bishi when she played Bestival back in the early 2000s, and just loved her stuff. Check out Look The Other Way. It features Tony Benn, and the most incredible over the top production imaginable. Glam rock sitar, anyone?

Nah, they sleep with barrels of lube by their bed, because that's where the flags go during the day.... They don't like friction burns when they're cuddled up to them every night!

They should aim that anger at the Tories that wrecked and pillaged the country for a decade and a half, not blindly follow them as they defect to Reform Ltd and declare themselves the alternative.
