Well done the Earl of Grantham.

Ms Webster of Newcastle is a ⭐ a story about singing, solidarity & compassion 👇👇👇

Patriotism is about caring for your fellow citizens – all of them, not just the ones who buy peerages. It is about decently funding our national institutions and investing in our collective futures. It involves delivering a full and enriching education for the next generation, and providing decent care and respite for the elderly and vulnerable. It’s about ensuring we have a capable and well-founded health service, a justice system that is open to all – and which applies equally to all. Patriotism is about ensuring equality of life chances, and the possibility of a home and a family. It recognises that it doesn’t matter what colour, faith, gender or sexuality you are: every person in Britain is equally British, and division demeans us all. But simply being British isn’t enough. We live on this planet with billions of other people, and we have to make it work. So patriotism is building sound and convivial relationships with our neighbours and allies. It is tackling global climate change in congress with the entire world, not seeking ways to screw our rivals and condemn our grandkids to a terrifying heat death. Patriotism is about crushing corruption and fostering decency, rather than the other way around. Those things are patriotic. Not flags. Fuck your flags. Flags are just the wrapping paper around those things, and nothing more. Yet increasingly they’re wrapped around a hollowed-out nation.

Wrote this about flags and patriotism in 2021 (in The Decade In Tory). Stand by every word now.

Why can't anyone stop the fundraisers outside London stations? Inside Success and WeRBlighty have broken the law with their fundraising activities. So why are they are allowed to continue operating outside the capital's busiest railway stations?

Ever wondered what the deal is with the InsideSuccess kids outside London stations who tell you they are raising money to stop knife crime? I have. Well @jim.londoncentric.media of London Centric has done the leg work, as ever.
