It’s The British Equivalent Of MAGA!

It is the Nationalists chanting when we come down to it because there are no benefits to leaving the European Union, we will all be financially better off staying in and our freedom to move around is being curtailed. It is just some imagined greatness that they think we have lost. The UK no longer has an ‘Empire’ but these people believe that all those immigrants and people from the British Commonwealth are inferior, that they should ‘know their place’ in the motherland, they should kowtow to royalty and listen to how we ruled the waves in a bygone era. That anything other than their way of thinking is treasonous or attacking the fabric of their society is really what they think. For them liberality has gone too far, it is an imagined Communism, all this levelling, allowing Gays to marry, Trans people to use some toilet or other is seen as a perversion from their so-called Golden Age when men were men and sheep were nervous, and everyone else did as they were told. But who are the ones ignoring the laws now, about wearing masks, they want their freedoms also? They want the freedoms that they want, but not the ones you and I want, because they see the world through a narrow viewfinder.

It is the same white privilege that brings out those crazies for Trump who can’t see that buying a baseball cap, made in China that is great for Trump’s business is also attacking local jobs and prosperity. There is only one place that money is going and that is Trump’s pocket. All those Bikers for Trump would probably have been thrown in Jail back in the age they are harking back to, for not wearing a collar and tie and shiny shoes. They would have been made to join the military, one thing their hero did not do.

As a Writer and Poet, I am happy with as few borders as possible, I want to be able to go wherever I can, as free as a bird, mix with other cultures and become through evolution that coffee-coloured people that the old song wished for. I know that is a Utopian view of things, but it wouldn’t hurt anybody, apart from the egos of crazy Trumpists and Boris Blowhards here in the UK.

My old African girlfriend used to sing of the two of us being ‘one’ and even now asks me for a ‘brown baby’ because she thinks it would give her some advantage, it is a personal joke between us but it shows how much it is ingrained into people’s psyche that lighter skin is better.

The myth of sovereignty could be taken all the way back to your town, your village, your tribe, all things that have caused conflict in the past and frequently does. Even when I was a kid, we fought with those from the next block of flats if they came into our territory, the same as gang cultures today.

Those spouting MAGA & Brexit are just the same, bullies from a gang imposing their will as the only way ahead. It is not, it is backwards to think that way. They are brainless gammon and I’m an intellectual snowflake, according to them, haha!

Isn’t that why the intellectuals are the first for the chop in all revolutions of both Communists and Fascists because we can explain and hold an argument or discussion, using words, not expecting anyone who won’t do as you bully them to do to be fired! Live and let live and don’t judge and don’t force sovereignty I don’t want onto me, just so that you can create an army and a war.
