You are probably right TBH - I am always amazed when you see stuff on the news when they interview say old twin sisters about Covid on their 70th birthday and they say " we will manage - we have done it before - we lived through a world war^ with no understanding that the rest of us can count.....

Yep, spirit of the blitz is a bit like York away, whether you were there or not is completely immaterial, it's now a state of mind.

Stupidity and mind numbing apathy is the only political currency, we do stupid things now as a matter of policy and rampant corruption is met with a resigned shrug.

The white masses are not interested in addressing the history of empire, they're not interested in black history month, they're not interested in multiculturalism, they're tired of Johnny foreigner, trendy lefties, woke, they know Brexit is shit but they don't care. They want Strictly, The Great British Bake Off, Covid to be over, the pubs open, but more than anything they want it to be the way it used to be.

Make Ambridge Great Again!

Ja, vielleicht liegt der Unterschied darin, dass die Deutschen ihre Eingeborenen nicht als Nazis bezeichnen und sie für die Weltkriege verantwortlich machen. Sie respektieren ihre Kultur und Traditionen und feiern sie in der Gesellschaft.

The union flag is for flying over public buildings, for sporting occasions and for national celebrations. Politicians using it as a prop hasn’t ever been a very British thing to do and is clearly being used by the current government for jingoistic purposes. If you want to try and shut down discussion by using provocative terms like people being triggered that’s up to you but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong to mention it. I’m proud of my country’s flag but I wouldn’t dream of having it flying outside my house or fastened to the wall of my living room to demonstrate my Britishness.

I think it's a clear move to use /hijack the flag. But symbolism is about the people who don't do it and polarising debate as much as a statement of intent by those who do. Every tory in front of the union flag is more/as much about casting those not draped in the flag as the 'other'. It's like wearing a poppy or taking a knee - to not 'join in' implies you are against.

The government wouldn’t have to do anything if the radical left didn’t start attacking every little thing about the country and calling everyone racist.

The public are sick of them and the government will just do what the public want, as the Tories always do to maintain power.

That post is exactly why it concerns me. It’s already all been shoehorned into an overall political argument and perception and people are already going along with it, it’s intentionally making the topic binary so that it can be pushed as someone’s fault.

We’re intentionally making ourselves thicker and people that should know better are validating it rather than fighting it (on both sides). A lot of it isn’t a culture war, it’s an intellectual one and it’s losing already.
