if it was up to me i'd rocket launcher those statues of Britannia you see down Kings cross
and i'm more than happy to take that one step further and say then never signified anything evermaybe catalog is saying that the flags bunting queen portraits dont actually signify anything any more. or perhaps im saying that.
Perhaps something like that might happen over this next 4 days...if it was up to me i'd rocket launcher those statues of Britannia you see down Kings cross
or Glastonbury and we're supposed to be happy that we have those 2 days offits just another state-ordained class activity like the end of term school disco or the trip to the pantomime.
make it an actual jubilee and empty the prisons, cancel debtsor Glastonbury and we're supposed to be happy that we have those 2 days off
i'd give people a week off at the very least
Something to do with it being mainly triangular and small as opposed to big and square has something to do with it.maybe catalog is saying that the flags bunting queen portraits dont actually signify anything any more. or perhaps im saying that.
that those buntings and portraits never meant anything and it was more to do with what people projected onto those images
What's maddening is that the ubiquity and unavoidability of all this not-quite-sincere-but-not-quite-ironic nationalism/royalism seems to increase in direct proportion to how dysfunctional and farcical the country gets.like i said before to @version i understand his existential crisis and neurosis over being in Britian and going above and beyond to not see hear or deal with anything "British"
well at one point i feel as though those displays would have very strongly signified royalism. and that now they very clearly dont, not reliably.that those buntings and portraits never meant anything and it was more to do with what people projected onto those images
yeah and do to the Tories what they to Mussolini or did in Babi Yarmake it an actual jubilee and empty the prisons, cancel debts
then send the royals to siberia and nationalise the lot
impossible to imagine the monarchy doing anything useful at allmake it an actual jubilee and empty the prisons, cancel debts
then send the royals to siberia and nationalise the lot
course not i mean even growing up people i knew just thought the royals existed in this country just for tourists lolwell at one point i feel as though those displays would have very strongly signified royalism. and that now they very clearly dont, not reliably.
no if anything it just lays things bareIt's like, in the context of brexit, covid etc, the flag is almost light relief?
