Barbarians

200 years ago ( more or less) our ancestors were building the Stockton to Darlington railway line and fighting the first Anglo-Burmese War.

We’d smashed French hopes of domination a decade before and we ruled the seas.

If we wanted something, we took it, by trade or force or both.

The greatest empire the world has ever known.

All from this tiny island.

We brought an almost universal language, education and modes of government that still exist in many places.

We weren’t very nice but we were driven.

A hundred years later and despite the immense losses of WW1, we still ruled a vast empire and the country was a hothouse of scientific and cultural progress.

Coal exports ( exports ) had slowed and this would cause issues but our impact on the world stage was still immense.

A hundred years later and we’re importing coal from Japan to feed the last remnants of a shattered steel industry.

Hundreds of third world, fighting age men arrive every day and instead of pressing them into service or sending them straight back to mainland Europe, we give them housing, phones and money.

They want for nothing while our people are taxed more and more and more.

People have been locked up for YEARS for words on a screen that challenge this new normal and the robbery, rape and murder increases that have followed.

In 1985, 1800 rape offences were recorded.

In 24/25 it’s 68,000.

And nothing is done.

We’re continually told that diversity is our strength, a lie on a par with Arbeit Macht Frei.

We’re bigots for noticing, for complaining, for protesting when little girls are butchered and our own government colludes in a cover up of the facts because they’re so scared.

Of us.

Our ancestors were barbarians, they took what they wanted by force, held it by force and gave zero fucks.

We’re not that far different, we’ve been indoctrinated with a drip-feed of how they think we SHOULD behave, but the walls are crumbling.

They’re worried about what comes next.

They should be.

They’ve done nothing to fix this for years and I have a bridge to sell you if you think that ANY party is different.

I’ve used a photo of Milo lying in the sun with some beer that I took a few minutes ago deliberately.

This is my land, my England, my way of life.

I’m fucked if I’m letting it go without a fight.

Let’s be Barbarians again.
