"‘A mini Battle of Cable Street’: the English neighbourhoods still grappling with the meaning of the flags"
'The controversy over flags has faded from the national agenda – but street by street, late at night and with ingenious equipment, their raising and removal is the subject of a roiling dispute over local identity'

Just a reminder, #StGeorge wasn’t even English. #Farage would have happily had him deported given that he was a #Palestinian #Turk.

Various Artists - Blow the Man Down: A Collection Of Sea Songs & Shanties
If you want my opinion, there’s far too much flag-shagging going on at the moment, especially in my country of birth, where it seems to be all the (Fa)rage to paint the St George’s cross on every surface, Shankhill Rd style.
When I grew up in England, flag-waving was looked down on as something that was only practised in inferior nations who didn’t know they were the best. There is no greater indication that England is floundering than painting flags on mini-roundabouts. Also, surely no-one who loved their flag would paint it on the ground, amongst the dog shit, phlegm and fag-butts, would they?
The problem for English nationalism is that English culture is an eclectic culture. Its primary cultural achievement is taking on other people’s culture and re-purposing it. I’ll give you some examples: London – built by the Romans; The Beatles and The Rolling Stones – co-opted American music; fish & chips – brought in by Jewish refugees; baltis – adapted from Pakistani food; Farage – copying 1930s Germany. The important thing to say is that’s OK. The English can be proud of this.
The reason I’m stating the bleeding obvious here is that I’m playing this CD of sea shanties (work songs) and forebitters (chilling-out songs) from England’s great seafaring past. Nothing more English than that. Except there’s Irish, American, and Portuguese influence galore. And that’s the way it works.
Incidentally, there’s some fucking beautiful songs on here. For instance, Lovely Nancy, from the 18th Century, sung by Ian Campbell acc. Dave Swarbrick – a song that reprises an ancient theme of a woman who dresses as a man to go to sea. The fucking tofu-eating wokerati right there.

...We have an infection of #englishNationalism that has lost its mind in rejecting the interdependency of life in this or any past era in favour of some fever dream of #exceptionalism entirely unsupported by any evidence

#nationalism - in #scotland, this is a normal part of normal politics - south of the border, #englishNationalism is a part of the far right, a dangerous delusion fostered by unpleasant people like little #tommyRobinson with thuggish & ignorant followers.

Interesting to consider difference between current #kipperTory party & what we might have under #pr
We'd not have a wide party all the way from cautious supporters of status quo to wilds of #englishNationalism - instead we'd have parliament including smaller parties
like #reform (nativists), maybe pro-business party and socially conservative party (possibly with an islamic flavour)Each smaller party would be more rigidly centred on a core & fight for that core
