Performative cruelty against the weakest; asylum seekers, the homeless, the disabled. Redoubled now for the elections. Such are the calling cards of the proto-fascists, who always walked among us, but whom we vaulted into power. Systematically stripping citizens & would-be residents of rights, dignity & security in the name of false "liberty" & "patriotism", 14 yrs of #Tory has produced the most pitifully awful & disgusting leaders & Governments in our modern history. #EnglishNationalism
Just heard a BBC R3 announcer speak of "commemorating the ENGLISH [sic] American and Canadian forces..."
Completely unconcious, it seems, of the irony of a colleague having just spoken of the "lone piper" at dawn on Gold.
8 long years of relentless #EnglishNationalism has completely addled the brains of too many. It shrank Great Britain to Little England, and the ignorance and exceptionalism it has fostered is pitiful.
