Chants from coked up football fans and far right imbeciles like "you're not English anymore" at the Met Police is a direct result of Suella Braverman's words. This is a woman tasked with ensuring the safety of British people and the upholding of the law. She should be sacked immediately.

His use of that name is the height of cynicism. What could be more patriotic than a "Tommy" or Robin of Loxley?

Ugly,scruffy, semi-articulate specimens.
I find it hard to believe that braverman’s braveboys really are the master race.

The Braver-Boys. The EDL being led by a none-white person, there is a certain irony.
Saw this the other day amidst all the noise about 'respecting our traditions '. Wonder what he would have made of today's events.
Robert Fisk: Do those who flaunt the poppy on their lapels know that
www.independent.co.uk
I think it’s fair to say that the culture around poppies and Remembrance Day has veered off track somewhat in the past 15 years.
The problem is that it went from being something you would choose to wear, to something you were obliged to wear, which defeats the whole purpose. We’re now at a point where if anyone goes on TV between October 11th and November 12th without a poppy then there’s dozens of complaints, which is how you end up with the Cookie Monster and football mascots wearing them.
And then because when wearing one doesn’t distinguish you as respecting the fallen because everyone else is already wearing one, you get people buying and wearing bigger poppies, or creating poppy decorations like you would see at Christmas, dressing up llamas and dogs and what not.
Then the nationalists and far right have tried to use it as a symbol of Englishness and patriotism and tried to co-opt it.
I think it’s a real shame what has happened to it, but I also think the core message- the one that’s become so obscured - is really important, so this virtue signalling who’s-more-patriotic idiocy is something we have to endure for another decade or so, and then I assume it will fall out of favour with these types and go back to being used as a sombre and respectful thing.

Christ was our schooling this bad in the 90’s and 00’?
People forget she's already been sacked once for serious security breaches. My partner is a civil servant in a similar department and you can not overstate how serious her actions were. People in less senior positions will be fired for far less and never expect to work in the civil service again.
