English far right nationalism run amuck - ignoring any constitutional norm that does not fit their far right narrative.

You know how they say referendum on constitutional matters should only be done once in a generation? I think we should get to decide what length of time a generation is - after all things change at a rate of knots these days. Heh.

Sooooooooooo much winning.

And now the promotion of that shitty song they want kids to sing in school on Friday cause Flags and Right Wing Bollocks. Have you seen it? Apologies in advance...



What the *FRESH UNHOLY HELL* is this.


Of course the Department of Education suggests all school children should sing this on what they have dubbed freedom day this Friday.

Other than the slight overtones of Hitler Youth, they seem not have given a moments consideration to how this might go over in NI with the current tensions, oh and most schools in Scotland will be closed for the summer by Friday. Brexit Great Britain is literally English Nationalism. I mean can you imagine anyone coming out with that ditty 6 years ago? Unless it was as a parody.

2. Back in 2015 and 2016 the U.K., the U.S. and much of the rest of the world came under attack

by a perfect storm of domestic right-wing politics and international meddling by Russia, Cambridge
Analytica and Wikileaks. The goal of this campaign was to create division and succeeded very well.
The outcome was tRUMP here in the U.S. and Brexit in the U.K.

It's gonna take a long time to recover from this since it's obvious the corrupt parties involved are still pressing forward with their destructive policies.

3. I hope there are plenty of spoof lyrics being circulated

because this demands a merciless piss-taking by any kids encouraged to sing (though I suspect the number of teachers who feel like organising this sing-song is pretty small).

4. I don't think most children enjoy singing in assembly at the best of times

And I don't think this song will be the successful indoctrination tool that Tory charlatans hope it will.

They would be better off playing Napalm Death songs in assembly to be honest.
