One Britain One Nation, one load of bollocks

I'd literally rather listen to the washing machine than this.

 

[Dogsauce]

If you don’t join in you HATE Britain and should obviously go and live in China or something.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

I wouls swap the last line a bit..

"And exclusively eat beans"

It rolls better.. imo.

'Eat beans exclusively' would be grammatically correct, assuming that consumption of that foodstuff would be to the exclusion of all others, albeit this would make the scansion more problemmatic. Your version implies that the only worthwhile thing to do with beans is to eat them. There may be others.

I dont want to think about that...

My OH has just mentioned that One Britain One Nation day falls after schools have broken up in Scotland and NI...

Yeah just coming here to post that.


One nation as long as it's England

 

[Raheem]

Occurs to me that it may very well be by design.

 

[killer b]

I doubt it's by design, probably just a happy accident, as it dovetails nicely with current government policy to wind up liberals on twitter for the lols

 

[Artaxerxes]

Here we go.

No it's an England campaign brought forward with no planning or forethought as to the rest of the UK.

Incompetence trumps malice

Britain has form for this anyway

Empire Day

The words "Empire Day" summon up an image of a motherly Queen Victoria presiding over an Empire which spanned almost a quarter of the entire globe. However it was not until after the death of Queen Victoria that Empire Day was first celebrated...

Britain's shitty government you mean. Don't think it's something that people across the land thought up in the middle of ww1 thinking this looks like a grand idea

Here we go.

cheers for this - it's more or less as i'd thought.

24th May 1902, until it evolved into commonwealth day after ww2 and was gradually ever more ignored.

Soz you took my in with your dg front cover from 1916 which says it's the first empire day to be held under government authority

 

[Raheem]

Could be, but I think it also could be that it was recognised it would be a total PR disaster in Scotland and NI. But you can't expressly exclude them, so exclude them by a convenient cock-up instead. Perhaps.

Presumably some loonspuds promoted it then the government nicked it for the war. Which shows how nothings changed, government still took 15 years to nick it

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.

That's exactly it.

...and the usual suspects on #edutwitter are lining up ready to jump on it.

The other director of the company seems to be an assistant head teacher in Wakefield. "ONE BRITAIN ONE NATION" OBON COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY - Officers (free information from Companies House)

 

[Argonia]

I have worked as a teaching assistant at the National Autistic Society school in Radlett, Hertfordshire, at Penwortham in Streatham and at Loseley Fields in Godaling. All the headteachers were doing striling work protecting the children from the evils and perils of people like Michael Gove's insane British values curriculum and simply ignoing a single syllable of his Machiavellian commadnments.

I'd sooner listen to the washing machine from the inside than this.

it takes quite a bit of digging to work out wtf it is though, not really surprising people are taking it at face value

Oh, the useful idiots don't care about the actual thing though. They're just waiting for a chance to have a go at woke lefties.

sure, and then you've got people like this dickhead, who did numbers yesterday by adding some completely made up details


It's hustlers hustling hustlers all the way down.

 

[Argonia]

As the Former Regime collapse into their criminal trials and history books they expose their complete insane and criminal thinking at an accelerating pace.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Ex coppers should just fuck off to the Costa to live out their retirement with their criminal mates. When they Hang around and get involved with other stuff , you really need to ask questions about their motivation - rarely is it altruistic

 

[marty21]

I've seen some reaction from the right wing on Twitter , the DoE tweet makes them suspicious of OBON , as of course the DoE is a hotbed of Marxists trying to indoctrinate our kids

 

[killer b]

Also worth noting that the DoE tweet had zero engagement apart from a load of outrage from left/liberal accounts, on the back of which OBON has doubled their follower count, had an interview on GB news and in the local press defending themselves against the attacks from the woke left... it's an effective media strategy tbh. Got to ask how it's possible to defend against it.

Anthem needs to end with "fried chicken".

Oh that's really shoite.

Nòoooooooooo! My ears!
