If you want others to respect the flag, maybe respect it yourself. It’s not a scarf for a booze and coke fuelled self-pity party. Tragic fuckers.

I’ve recently lived in 2 countries big on their national flags. Everywhere. They respect their flags and have strict rules for their use. Flagpoles, for example. I didn’t see any looking like shit tea towels hanging from windows or graffiti-ed on council property.

Billionaires and inherited money owned media calling Angela Rayner ‘three houses’ isn’t the saddest part. It’s the working/middle class boot-lickers repeating it that’s so tragic. Such a serf nation. Crabs in a bucket.

The transactions I’ve had with several financial institutions overseas “help-desks” over the last few weeks has actually made me think AI actually might not make things worse. Utter, mind-boggling incompetence. Clownery in pidgin English. It would be funny if their fuck-ups weren’t so serious. 😑

You’d think all the blatant racist and anti-immigration rhetoric underpinned by ‘save the billionaires’ commentary by the media and the cronies they own would be an obvious tactic, seen through for what it is by anyone with half a brain. Alas…

Anyone got any ‘fash adjacent’ exploits. I once went go-karting with Lord Rothermere (he was ‘son of’ then) owner of The Mail in the nineties. They were clients. Have you got any rotten fascist cunt proximity stories?

Seems that there’s a lot of countries in the world with two primary political parties: a “conservative” one dedicated to preserving white supremacy by tearing down the institutions that might fight it, and a “liberal” one dedicated to preserving white supremacy through inaction.

Surely common sense is implementing the means to process immigrants asap so they can be quickly a) allowed to work and pay tax, or b) be chucked out. Anything else is self-defeating, more expensive and playing into the hands of goons. It’s almost like no one wants to sort it. 🤔

Been mooching round Soho, Fitzrovia, Holborn and marveling at the deserted old agency, media owner and client buildings. Was a time you couldn’t walk 20 yards without someone you knew shouting at you to join them in the pub. Any time of the day. Different times. London still a great city tho.
