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

When the far right press claim that ReformUK are polling better than any other political party be very careful.
What polls are they quoting?
Remember they are leading a cult and we'll say whatever they need to say to hook you.

"[Reform's] entire offer now rests on the premise that Britain has been weakened, diluted, betrayed or changed from the glorious nation it once was - and that the people that have done so are always someone else. Immigrants. Minorities. Activists. Liberals. Lefties. The woke. Sometimes obliquely jews. Often Muslims. Black people from time to time. Every now and again it’s all of the above"
Good from the Bear on Farage and Reform.

In England we have the legend of Robin Hood.
It's a myth of taking from the rich, who are oppressors, and giving back to those they oppress.
Beware anyone whose Englishness goes against a myth you feel, you recognised as a child, as I did was good and true.
What Englishman can deny the rightness of Robin Hood? Then be English, don't deny it now, when Englishness is under threat from opportunists backed by the rich. Who opposed and stole from everyone else.

Funny how many donors to Farage and people close to him get money from Russia, then pass it on to him. I mean it’s almost like he’s a traitor and a Russian asset, but that can’t be true of the great patriot, can it?…..

Nigel Farage is and has always been a racist, xenophobic bully. And such are the policies he promotes.

> “[Farage] was consistent, and he was persistent. Peter and I used to have lunch together in the sort of cloisters, a thoroughfare between the main buildings. There were people going backwards and forwards all the time, and I witnessed on multiple occasions, sort of little snide comments and personal, vindictive, racist comments."

No one is suggesting you can print these out on a home preinter really easily- or a few people together can get them printed cheaply if they split the costs

''Everyone in Reform is a lot more hardline on immigration than is typically stated publicly. To get a majority government we have to be tactical. "

If you really want to see what Reform UK would be like in government, you just have to look at the complete mess they are making of running Kent County Council.
https://www.localgov.co.uk/Captain-Chaos-Row-erupts-over-Kent-fire-authority/63428
https://www.localgov.co.uk is a pretty good way to follow what they are doing as they'll pick up this mess before the national newspapers do.
@otfrom sadly the people voting for Reform WANT the chaos, they want to see everyone else suffer.
It's that MAGA mentality.
But they are not a majority, and they are easily put off voting. They are lazy, selfish people.
