”We want our country back”!

The UK’s version of MAGA.

So melodramatic!

When exactly did we lose our country? and to whom? The circa 5% of the population who are not direct descendants of Henry the VIII?

Whenever you get to speak to anyone who would make statements such as “we want our country back”, you know you are speaking with an ill-advised troublemaker who is either seeking profit from hate or just intent on spewing hate

We have never lost our country. The same folk who have been in-charge for the past 5000 years are still in-charge! We have hereditary peers (Lords and Dames) making our laws and those who are not hereditary e.g. our politicians are all largely descendants of wealthy, affluent Brits. Same goes for all walks of life in the UK, Cara Delevigne, Benedict Cumberbatch, you look up any of the known personalities in pretty much every field in the UK and they are descended from affluent folk. 99.9% of influential jobs and key positions of power are held by people of British descent. So, the country has clearly not been lost!

The folk who go around saying they want their country back, never had the country to begin with! (the folk who had the country, still have it and have never lost it) I suppose nobody cared to inform them. They just had access to their monthly benefits and remained in their delusion

Do we now have some folk who are yet to understand our norms & behaviour (e.g. littering)? Yes. Do we have thousands crossing into the UK in small boats from France? Yes we do. Do we have a number of issues relating to uncontrolled migration that needs to be sorted? Yes we do. But, do any of these come anywhere close to the notion of losing our country? Certainly not! We have never lost our country.

It’s exactly the same as Make America Great Again! You think human beings made the Grand Canyon? America’s greatness has very little to do with what Americans do or do not do. So, how can anyone suggest they can make it great again? It’s all just gobbledegook!
