[thread] "Let morning shine on the silver and gold of this land packed with natural wealth. My beautiful land. The glory of a wise people brought up in a culture brilliant with a history millennia long. Let us devote our bodies and minds to supporting this nation forever."
The fuller link at:

nation.cymru/news/uk-gov-wa…
"The UK Government have said that they want school children across Wales to sing a ‘We are Britain’ anthem as part of an event that will teach them about the UK’s “shared values”."
The lyrics include: “Our nation survived through many storms and many wars, We’ve opened our doors, and widened our island’s shores, We celebrate our differences with love in our hearts, United forever, never apart.”
It ends with the repeating lines “Strong Britain, Great Nation”
I would say

I am all for celebrating what Britain stands for

Explain what these values are

With reference to :
1. Lying to the nation
2. Lying to the Queen

@MattHancock referred to war veterans saying that proroguing parliament would go against “everything that those men who waded on to those beaches fought and died for”, adding: “And I will not have it.”
3. Protecting a bully

Oh and interfering in an ethics investigation

4. Threatening to starve the Irish

thetimes.co.uk/article/brexit…
5. Letting it rip, letting the bodies pile high
6. PPE corruption

itv.com/news/2021-04-2…
7. Government corruption

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
9. Racism and xenophobia

independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
10. Cutting public services and fostering an atmosphere of lies and racism as you seek to blame anyone but yourself for those consequences

theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
So I am all for "values"

Just explain to me

What the values are

How you live them

When do you live them

Why do you live them

Oh my apologies

I should also have clarified

My opening words on the thread laid next to the article photograph

Were taken from the national anthem of North Korea

Congratulations

To all those that "won" on 23rd June 2016

I am going to chronicle the glorious path from that glorious day

To the sunlit uplands we are now experiencing

I am so glad that

"Kill the CBI" wasn't done

They speak for 190,000 businesses in the UK

It would have been quite an effort to round up that many businesses and execute them - not sure by what means - firing squad, lethal injection, electrocution?

Here's Dominic also making it clear what "won" it Image

[thread] on this utter bullshit

Ask anyone who shovels this shite messaging line from @10DowningStreet @BorisJohnson

When did we lose our place?

Why did we lose it?

What are they going to do to make us regain it?
So here's world innovation rankings

Our neighbours AHEAD of the UK

Sweden (2), Germany (4), Switzerland (5) Finland (7), Denmark (8), france (8), Austria (12), Ireland (13), Belgium (14), Norway (15), Netherlands (16)

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"37 UK-headquartered companies made the Innovation 1000 list this year, spending on average 2.9% of revenue on R&D, up slightly from 2.3% the year before, but considerably lower than the global average of 4.2%."

[thread] I have an idea for a talk in slot topic @LBC @mrjamesob @AvaSantina

What does the party of Boris Johnson stand for?

It is not Conservative

It is not unionist

It is "totally fucking hopeless"

So what name should we give the party?

Now I quote Margaret
M. Thatcher

"The manner of winning is a matter of honour."
M. Thatcher

“Under treaties we accept obligations which we ourselves help to formulate.”

With a question

Who said it?

But more importantly the follow up question.

Why did they say it?

"Black Lives Matter brought disordered destruction and violations of the law to America. We don't want that to happen in our country."
Who said:

"Black Lives Matter protests an opportunistic pretext for an outpouring of self-righteous rage”
That was a GB News presenter
