CW: UKpol: John Harris on what happens with the England Flag
The Guardian's ever excellent John Harris on how the British far-right managed to appropriate the England flag (the St George's Cross) for their own dark politics, and how this enables Farage and his men to gain the trust of good people who are looking for a symbol of pride.
Can progressive culture re-kindle a spirit of democatic pride in our own country, a pride based on community not exclusion?
As everything written by John Harris, very much worth reading.
[My own take would be to see these developments in Gramscian terms as a hegemonic move by the far right: occupying cultural ground in preparation of the political takeover.]

If you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll likely remember Rock Against Racism with some fondness & appreciate its work against the racist thugs of the 70s/80s.... now (responding to the weeks of far right attacks), RAR has been rebooted as Love Music Hate Racism... I hope it is as successful RAR in galvanising anti-fascism... and organising some great gigs

#GutenMorgen , du berührende Welt der Musik ...
... du nimmst mich mit, führst mich weg, hält's mich fest - für einen Augenblick - so unendlich, so tief, so schön.

Den Vollidioten heißt man dich
Und auf den Dächern
Sagt man sich
