What has the UK become?

Anyone who uses the word woke as an insult is a knuckle dragging moronic shithead.

Indeed.

Should be woke twats!

Bowel cancer made me vegetarian.

Yes. I was aware. But it's still a strange mindset even if it wasn't your choice. Not sure constructing a blob of militant vegans to hate is the most healthy thing.

Not even sure what "pushing for UK Islam" is meant to mean either. It's so vague it's meaningless.

Definitely some people of foreign extraction in that picture.

The picture is as laughable as it is sinister. When did the majority of the English live in idealised cottages, dominated by a huge church? The real answer is never, but the nearest approximation would be before the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th Century.

For the last 175 years or so, most of us have lived in crowded cities, alongside immigrants of one type or another. If you read up on the 19th Century Irish you will find that they were often hated and despised, alleged to be drunkards and belonged to a faith that (certainly outside Lancashire) was seen as exotic, foreign and dangerous to the state.

And, contradictorily, both idle lazy gits but also pinching all the jobs.

Not only that but the prosperity of Britain always relied on colonial exploits. We would be a poor country and people without it. Even the working classes benefited in comparison to their colonial counterparts

Midsommer mostly, but Grantchester and Father Brown too.

Looks like some dystopian nightmare that picture.
No thanks.
