England’s contested 1,100-year anniversary passed with little public interest, reflecting a broadly unbothered national identity, even as a small but vocal far-right English nationalism gains visibility. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/19/world/being-properly-english/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #england #tommyrobinson #donaldtrump #nigelfarage #mikenesbitt #georgeorwell #johnmajor #rishisunak #labour #tories #reformuk #conservativeparty #ulsterunionistparty #maga #englishdefenceleague

The Good Friday Agreement #GFA, signed in 1998, ended most of the violence of #TheTroubles.
It called for a commission to review policing in #NorthernIreland. As a consequence, in 2001, the Royal Ulster Constabulary #RUC was reformed and renamed to #PSNI.
Jon Boutcher, the Chief Constable of the PSNI, leads Operation #Kenova, which has spent the last seven years, and £40m, investigating 101 murders and abductions linked to the #British military double-agent known by the code #Stakeknife.

One of the report’s most serious conclusions is that the impunity was discussed at Cabinet level during the conflict and continued until six years after the #IRA ceasefire of 1994 and two years after the Good Friday Agreement.
(Prime Ministers: Margaret #Thatcher, #JohnMajor, Tony #Blair.)

There used to be some decent ones - wrong-headed, sure but #johnMajor #roryStewart #theresaMay and others were at least honest

Even on the #right they were not #corrupt like their modern equivalents - I can't see #enochPowell being sacked for #corruption (moral corruption, sure - but not putting his hand in the till.....)

Mission 2024: Rishi Sunak’s ‘laborious’ challenge to repeat 1992

The situations in 2024 and 1992 are almost identical. A struggling economy, over a decade of Conservative rule and a widespread prediction of a Labour victory in the 2024 election.

In 1992, Major played the captain of the ship and steered the Tories through a less than stellar campaign, which had Labour ahead in the polls throughout. It was only in the last moments Major upped the ante and warned a recession-hit society of the further gloom they might face under a Labour government. These attacks landed well, and Labour lost so badly they might well have sunk into a political Mariana trench.
