While there are plenty of very funny memes and skits on line taking the piss out of the flag shaggers, brexiters and Farage, what purpose do they serve other than making us feel a bit better about the madness all around.
Is it all we have left in our arsenal because we are we losing the argument ?

That's become prity obvious over the last 6 months.
Labour ARE doing good things in the background, you only have to watch Phil Moorhouse on YouTube. But that's the problem, I have to watch Phil to find out, so the public are missing it all together and the MSM focus on their anti agenda.

A lot of this is down to Morgan McSweeney. His 'focus groups' are leading him and labour down a dead end. I also understand that he is pro brexit, so that says a lot though I could be wrong on that bit.

P.S.
This is the self same council who's ReformUK mayor was awarded a 600% 'pay' rise for 'out of pocket expenses' 🤨

North Bay scarborough. A lovely long bay with parking. Some 50+ lamp posts going on around the castle mount all with flags, well organised and funded.
Now, it is illegal to attach any flags/banners/posters to lamp posts without permission but with a ReformUK lead council nothing has been done.

When ask in parliament by Ed Davey's about CU/SM to help our economy Starmer stated categorically NO.
So I don't see any 'shift' in labours brexit tone.
Words are easy. The country needs action, NOW.

It's a long way off, but it looks like, able to govern or not, they are going to get the chance to.
As it stands, the LDs are lacking, but the Greens with Polanski at the helm are starting to purr. I'm impressed.

I have often asked just how deep is the septic tank that is the Tory party. It seems that it's bottomless.
What a queen bitch.
On James O'Bs show today some callers were in tears with worry over what she's said.
I don't know my country anymore 😕 😔

In this mad, flag shagging world we live in, why don't i see ANY EU flags.
The ONLY one I see is mine.
We should have been and really ought to be more forceful, less wet.
I've a flag in my living room window and have since 2019, my car is resplendent with a EU/UK sticker.
Get them out !! 🇪🇺🇪🇺

People are asking if the rise in flag flying is organised.
So I had a look at some listing's on Ebay. There has been an explosion of new venders (less than 100 sales) all flogging poles with flags.
Some with the tag 'let's get our flag flying' and 'Operation Raise The Colours'.

Our message isn't strong enough to cut through the rights hysteria over 'small boats' and 'foreign' people's in general.
I think a lot depends on what happens in the US, coz if Trump succeeds, we are next.
Then the UK will be trashed for 10s of decades with no chance of a return.

Hate to be the nay sayer here, but that doesn't mean they want to rejoin, far from it.
Because, it doesn't add up. Reform high in the polls, pact with Tories on the cards, Labour, frankly fecking lost.
We're further away now than we've been for a long time.

🤣🤣👍

Just watching the Ryder Cup highlights.
It seems quite a few of the US team are MAGA morons.

Trumps America disrespecting the etiquette of the great game of Golf during the opening games of the Ryder Cup.
Europe doing what they do best, beating the US and all while playing under the 🇪🇺 flag.
Doesn't get any better than that 😁😁

Four-tonne oyster export rejected at French border due to 'typo' The produce - worth £11,000 - was sent back to Jersey because of a mistake in a reference number.

BECAUSE OF BREXIT YOU LYING FECK OF A CORPORATION.
The fishing community, out of all the brexit idiots are the ones that annoy me the most. They had it good, a market to easily sell into with little paperwork. But no, they wanted more. Now they have nowt and I'm sorry, I have NO sympathy.

Good morning to you, too.

Scarborough weather: cloudy, dry, cool.
Mood: tanked
Tiredness: 11/10

It's been a loooonnng week, filled with increasingly more openly racist people and a political system that's failed.

😬😬

Rightly so. We should be doing the same.

Should have read *not racist* all though racist/fascist are close bed fellows these days.
Lesson:- read before you post 😬

He doesn't seem to be anti with our European colleagues. I have to assume that's because they are white. We have quite a few eastern Europeans working with us, but Farage, from what I've heard, may have something to say about that if he gains power.

I work with a bloke that swears down he's not fascist but refers to the internationals working at a car wash up the road as 'rag heads' and 'Abdul's' without batting an eye lid.
The disconnect is frightening, and he's gets a vote just like me, ffs.
We are doomed while this attitude persists.

And they are popular. Says it all about the country we live in.
About ⅓ of the houses around me now have a Union Jack or George Cross flag outside. Some have gone to the expense of buying a fecking flag pole ffs.

When we left the EU i peacefully pushed back with a small (10x5cm) EU flag in my front window and a blue with yellow stars UK car sticker all with no problems, until now.
Since the plastic patriots started popping up on my estate, I've been getting some pushback, not much, but it's started.

YouTube video by Richard J Murphy What Farage’s British Bill of Rights really means for your freedoms

What can be done about this ?
For the foreseeable future, nothing, and that's very dangerous.
We haven't a working Tory party, Labour the same.
This is VERY SCARY stuff that Reform voters are walking blindly into and taking us with them.

It's a fecking mess, and I don't see an end to it.
First, the Tories and then Labour dance to Farages tune and even Ed Davis is now repeating the same mantra "we'll stop the boats"
Yes, something needs doing, but you aren't gonna do it with slogans.
ReformUK in power = economic collapse.

I think James book makes that point. Certainly as far as the Tories and the right wing media are concerned.

Will have a look/listen 👍

😊

When brexit gets me down, and I think 'oh, what's the point' I listen (audio book) to @mrjamesob.bsky.social book 'How They Broke Britain'.
My anger is reignited.
So James, never, ever stop pointing out its stupidity.
Never stop calling out the lies.
You are a light in the darkness.
