So when you listen to people who think that it is important that Britan [sic] cuts a rug in the world with their nukes and stuff ask them the basic question, "did you to go to war daddy, or did you just send others?" Or perhaps, "You must have load a shitload of profit in Iraq, did you give one pence to our soldiers? did you give one jot of care? Are you an abject piece of shite?"

Not a bully, worse. The little shit who hides behinds the bully.
For better or worse people care what we, brits, do, our proudest moment: we more or less stopped slavery. We had our bad moments too, we more or less started slavery.
But because of who we are we have argued about this, we have argued about everything, we have a nuanced attitude. we have knowledge and an idea what to do. And we dislike killing people, and yet our government seem to glory in blood.
In your british heart you know that we have the answer, and that the answer is to be tolerant, despite provocation; to try to understand the strange, to care about fellow-humans. And we know that those now in power hype provocation, and, and here it has to be said, behave like fucking Nazis. They put immegrants in camps. Is that something that we should thole?
How long before they come for you?
