One Britain One Nation, one load of bollocks

[seeformiles]

Come back “I’m Backing Britain” - all is forgiven:

 

[maomao]

If they teach my daughter this shit at school I'll be sending her in with new swear words.

 

[planetgeli]

Didn't Kieth write this?

New ad for the Labour Party?

 

[ElizabethofYork]

What a lovely idea! Patriotic youngsters waving flags! Oh wait ....

 

[Smangus]

Ein Volk, ein etc etc

 

[Sprocket.]

The only thing that unites this country is our hatred of one another.

 

[Espresso]

One Nation One Britain might have been better, then they'd be O NOB.

 

[Dystopiary]

We are Britain
And we have one dream
To unite all people
In one great team
Jessie!
James!
Team Britain blasts off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

That's exactly what I thought!

I understand it scans better in the original Cornish.

 

[chilango]

Tell you what, I bet Laibach would do a stirring rendition of it.

Was just coming here to post that!

less than 500 likes on facebook. I'd be interested to see how they're funded tbh. it seems to be a one-nutter band with no presence outside bradford but friends in the conservative party.

Oh come off it, that's like comparing an episode of Total Wipeout with Triumph of the Will. Be more imaginative.

And come to think of it, that's not the only similarity with V for Vendetta...

ETA: Oh, apparently it's a thing already...

V For Vendetta Is A Perfect Representation Of 2020

If 2020 were a movie.

Ah, ok. It's just a small bunch of loons.

OP had me thinking it was some kind of government initiative.

 

[philosophical]

Periodically someone or another goes on about bringing the country together, or uniting the people.
How exactly?
The best you can hope for is to tolerate differences without it spilling over into violence (though violence might be appropriate in certain circumstances).
So what would unite you with, say, Stephen Yakkitty Lookatme, or Mark Francois, or Boris Johnson?

 

[danny la rouge]

Jesus.

 

[Spymaster]

Jesus.

There’s much better music about him

 

[ItWillNeverWork]

With every passing week, this country resembles more and more an early 20th century European nation on its way to becoming a fascist dictatorship.

Oh come off it. They're more like the Chuckle Brothers than the Fourth Reich.

 

[Pickman's model]

Oh come off it. They're more like the Chuckle Brothers than the Fourth Reich.

The chuckle brothers with dr strangelove's twitchy right arm and more than a dash of Enoch Powell's politics

Nothing wrong with school kids singing about their country.

 

[Dystopiary]

"U.K. schools are being asked to celebrate “one Britain one nation” day on an actual day when Scottish schools are either already shut for the summer holidays or preparing to do so. That’s a metaphor for British nationalism if ever there was one."

 

[Aladdin]

We are Britain
And we have two dreams
To relive World War Two
And eat exclusively beans

I wouls swap the last line a bit..

"And exclusively eat beans"

It rolls better.. imo.

 

[Aladdin]

^ This is a joke, right?


It's... Fucking terrible. I mean, school kids singing is always terrible, standard but this has to be the work of a sick genious for it's awfulness.

Oh that's really shoite.

"U.K. schools are being asked to celebrate “one Britain one nation” day on an actual day when Scottish schools are either already shut for the summer holidays or preparing to do so. That’s a metaphor for British nationalism if ever there was one."

Anyone not joining in will be sanctioned or expelled

Trying to work out what's going on with this, cause while it's true there's a single DoE tweet promoting this weird shit in three days, I'm not aware of there being any other direct promotion or instruction by the government - I think claiming 'UK schools are being asked to celebrate' it is a stretch.

If you go to the OBON twitter account (who've gained a mighty 18 further followers since we last discussed this) they're retweeting schools who are involved, and they are without exception in Bradford. There's no national campaign to get schools to sign up or anything. The only people talking about this are outraged liberals on twitter - it feels to me like it's just trolling really - just stirring the culture war pot, like they did with the 'white privilege' thing this morning too.

so this is now official UK government policy??
thats a big move away from it being the mad dreams of one ex-copper out in Yorkshire

ETA just seen Killer Bs post above
hmmm

government backing by tweet is still government backing
