Restore Britain to what?

If we're aiming to restore Britain's glorious past, I vote we restore the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, I'd happily join the forces of Wessex against the East-Angles.

"Bloody Anglo-Saxons, comin' over 'ere from northern continental Europe with their inlaid jewelry, and their shit burial traditions. And their miserable epic poetry."

All the way back to hunter-gatherer cultures. Gotta build up doggerland as well.

There's still a lot of doggers around here. The layby just past motorway services at the edge of a forest is a popular spot.

And yet that room has more political value than 10,000 voters Under 40. ( We're doomed)

There are a lot of people in this picture who believe it’s spelled “should of”

SPRUNT@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 191d (2 replies)

Just curious, because it's not apparent in the picture... Are there other ethnicities in Britain?

Skua@kbin.earth · 10 pts · 191d

If Rupert Lowe is to be believed, other ethnicities are actually taking over

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 191d

Absolutely. There‘s even a joke that “There are no Englishmen in London” because there are so many foreigners and British people of different ethnicities.

But they wouldn’t be at this gathering.

No offense, but that's about what I expected when I clicked the image. I would've hazarded lower attendance, but I'm an optimist

Younger people too busy working to fund the audience's superannuation...

I noticed a similar thing with Reform - at one of their rallies, nearly everybody in the audience was an old white man.

Would think it's a Targaryen family gathering with all this white hair

The pink skin isn't the lighting, it's just the ruddy cheeks of the Gammon.

The young are to busy posting on Reddit

Jimmy the Giant branded them as Cotwolds supremacists which just feels very apt.

Pictured: All the people who think Norfolk is normal.
