The Reform Guide to Patriotism Step 1: Complain Britain is a “third world shithole” while living in the world’s 6th largest economy with free healthcare, free education, clean water and a functioning democracy. Step 2: Worship billionaires who don’t pay tax in Britain then blame immigrants on minimum wage for ruining the economy and your life. Bonus points if your hero is a crypto bro, a convicted fraudster or an American tech mogul who would never set foot within a thousand miles of your town. Step 3: Hate London with every fibre of your being despite not having visited since a school trip to the National History Museum. Call it a “foreign city” and deny it’s one of the world’s great capitals, the global centre of finance, culture, theatre, music and sport that generates a quarter of the UK’s entire GDP and quietly pays for your roads, your hospitals and your benefits. Disown it because you saw a TikTok. Step 4: Share hideously designed memes over and over again. Ideally featuring AI generated angry crowds with mashed up faces carrying upside down flags. Or barrel chested bulldogs. Step 5: Cheer every piece of bad news about your own country like you’ve won the lottery. Crime stats, NHS queues, potholes, you love it all. If it’s not true share it anyway. If something goes well pretend it didn’t happen. The only time you’re proud to be British is when you’re telling everyone how awful it is. Step 6: Discover Christianity despite not setting foot in a church since your mate’s wedding in 2014. Post about “defending Christian values” then spend the rest of the day calling strangers c*nts online. Step 7: Shout “Britain is broken” every single day while devouring GB News and trashing the BBC. Get your worldview from a channel owned by a foreign hedge fund or tax-dodging non-dom aristocrats. Step 8: Import American MAGA culture war talking points from people who couldn’t find Britain on a map and still insult your military, your cities and your food. Then call everyone else a traitor. Step 9: Obsess about boats in the Channel, the EU and the state of the entire developing world despite having practically zero personal experience of any of them. Step 10: Vote Reform, a party with no policies that benefit you or survive contact with a calculator. Then wonder why nothing changes. Bonus: Change your profile pic to a lion with a Union Jack painted on its face or a historically inaccurate crusader, misspell sovereignty in your bio and tell a stranger on the internet to “wake up” at least three times before lunch.

@AnnMort92883429 @Neccccy You got a hard Brexit... and it turned out badly as predicted 🤷‍♂️ What didn't they do that would have made it a success?

@Neccccy But when will WE ACTUALLY GET BREXIT ???

Are you the same?

@Susan9122656826 @Neccccy Which part of Brexit has gone well?

@Neccccy Me too

@HailToChaseU @ShamanicFallout @TheCinesthetic I love baseball... but Fever Pitch is a book written by an Arsenal fan about his experiences going to watch Soccer.

@ShamanicFallout @TheCinesthetic Baseball trumps Soccer dawg.

FEVER PITCH was released 21 years ago. Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore had to reshoot the ending after the real-life Boston Red Sox unexpectedly won the World Series, forcing the film to adapt to history as it was happening.

@Woke_warrior69 @VeryBrexitProbs No... Labour have failed to fix the wrecked economy they inherited from failed Tory policies and Brexit! These are very different things 🤷‍♂️

@VeryBrexitProbs Labour have wrecked the economy. You must be living in cloud cuckoo land of you can't see this.

Thatcher decimating manufacturing and mining communities. Poll tax riots. Black Wednesday. Iraq. The 2008 crash. Austerity. Brexit, most catastrophic self-inflicted economic wound in modern British history Universal Credit. Windrush. Grenfell. PPE corruption. Partygate. Liz Truss crashing the economy in 49 days etc. But sure, nine months of Starmer rejoining Horizon and investing in the NHS, lifting over 500,000 children out of poverty, avoiding idiotic wars is “unprecedented decline.”

@Pep4inarow @afccharlie Not working in the new managers system doesn't make you the 3rd worst transfer of all time 🤷‍♂️

@afccharlie He was so good you decided to sell him instead

Pepe clearly didn’t work as much as we liked, but this is such a lazy thing to always say…. Pepe got 48 G/A in 112 games for us in a very bad team during Covid. And won an FA cup. Yes he wasn’t great, but to say he 3rd worse transfer in history is absolutely ridiculous

@TisDeanoPVFC @VeryBrexitProbs I can't see another Referendum happening for a while. It's still quite toxic and the EU won't want to get involved while you have people like Farage riding fairly high in the polls.

@Danecek3000 @VeryBrexitProbs If we ever get a mandate for another ref, legally binding or advisory ?

Three general elections since 2016. Doesn’t count. Seven million new voters who weren’t old enough in 2016. Doesn’t count. Every poll since showing a majority now thinks it was a mistake. Doesn’t count. Apparently “the will of the people” only counts once. In 2016. And never again. For Brexit fanatics, the only good democracy is one you never have to repeat.

@TisDeanoPVFC @VeryBrexitProbs Tactical voting is a difficult thing to achieve in reality for a whole GE. the only way it truly works is if parties stand candidates down... which is what The Brexit Party did.

@Danecek3000 @VeryBrexitProbs Talking of tactical voting at a massively organised level , it wasn’t farage and Johnson leading that, not even close bestforbritain.org/2019electionim…

@TisDeanoPVFC @VeryBrexitProbs I think Brexit was still too toxic to go near in 2024. and Labour wanted to distance themselves from the subject. The Right Wing press would have been ready and waiting for the "They're trying to steal your Brexit" approach... and Labour didn't play into their hands.

@Danecek3000 @VeryBrexitProbs So no mandate Yes remain tried influence tactical voting I agree, I think an app was even made to try and influence voters Why did no major party offer another ref in 24GE? I thought the people wanted it

@TisDeanoPVFC @VeryBrexitProbs No.. because the Remain vote was split over multiple parties. Boris knew Remain would win a 2nd Referendum, but he was confident the Tories could get over 40% of the vote in a GE... and Farage stood down to make sure he achieved that.

@Danecek3000 @VeryBrexitProbs Did any of those parties get in ? I have no issue with another ref by the way if it gets a mandate , a party voted in with a ref on its manifesto

@brisey86718014 @VeryBrexitProbs He did have closer ties with the EU in their manifesto

@VeryBrexitProbs Starmer could have run with this in his manifesto in 2024. But he didn’t.

@TisDeanoPVFC @VeryBrexitProbs In the 2019 GE Over 50% of the votes went to parties offering the minimum of a 2nd referendum 🤷‍♂️

@VeryBrexitProbs The population rejected another ref in the 2019GE

@KevinTrainor33 @VeryBrexitProbs Why do you guys constantly make out some absurd thing you personally want also has the whole countries backing?

@VeryBrexitProbs The will of the people demanded zero foreigners in britain. Now there's tens of millions and we're set to be a minority by 2060 and likely genocided after. Reverse that first and then we can talk about your precious fucking EU.

@talkSPORT So Jamie thinks the team without a Long Throw specialist, without a single goal from long throws and nowhere near the top of the list of teams that have taken the most long throws are to Blame 🤔

🤯 "It's a massive story!" O'Hara and Cundy react to the shock news that long throws are set to be banned in the Premier League!! 🤯 Do you think this is the right decision? 🤔

@MWhitmore16302 @Skint_Eastwood1 It's always some other reason for Brexiteers. Music artists of all types have been directly affected by Brexit... it's not because of Covid or any War... it's a direct consequence of leaving the EU.

@Danecek3000 @Skint_Eastwood1 No. But some of it is. Many 'amateur' or occasional UK exporters also just gave up as they couldn't be bothered doing the extra work. Their bad. Most of it is down to post Covid and Ukraine war (and now Iran) inflationary costs, which no doubt make touring extremely expensive.

🚨Roger Daltrey DESTROYS Sky News Brexit Panic: 'As If We Didn't Tour Europe Before the F*cking EU!' 🔥 Sky News tries the "Brexit will kill British rock music" scare on Roger Daltrey: Sky News: "Is Brexit bad for British rock music?" Roger Daltrey: "No. What's it got to do with the rock business?" Sky News: "How are you going to tour in Europe?" Roger Daltrey: "Oh dear. As if we didn't tour Europe before the f*cking EU. Oh give it up!" Roger Daltrey: "If you want to be signed up to be ruled by a f*cking mafia, you do it.”

@MWhitmore16302 @Skint_Eastwood1 Do you genuinely think this whole issue is down to artists being too lazy to fill out an extra form?

@Danecek3000 @Skint_Eastwood1 At the risk of repeating myself it seems that most no longer tour because it is too expensive or not profitable, but that this is because of inflation and other money matters (salaries, travel, hotel, shipment of kit costs etc) - not the cost of filling in an extra Brexit form!

@MWhitmore16302 @Skint_Eastwood1 The majority don't tour in Europe anymore... which is the whole point. The UK is a place where many of the greatest music artists in the world have come from. This is something the UK excels at... and Brexit has had a significant negative impact on it.

@Danecek3000 @Skint_Eastwood1 It's called 'the market' mate. If you don't want to invest and tour, can't be arsed to fill in a few extra forms, or if it's genuinely too expensive to tour (in which case I do sympathise), then DON'T TOUR AND STAY AND PLAY GIGS IN THE UK (or the USA) ! Stop with the excuses.

@MWhitmore16302 @Skint_Eastwood1 The Prodigy can afford to pay people to do the admin. They can afford the costs for visas, carnets etc... They can afford the additional accommodation required to move from country to country. They make less money than before... but still make a profit due to high ticket sales.

@Danecek3000 @Skint_Eastwood1 That's because of economics - not because of Brexit. If The Prodigy can do it, why can't a smaller band at a much lower cost do it? You can't answer that question can you? Methinks you need to be a bit more logical my friend.

@MWhitmore16302 @Skint_Eastwood1 A) Total lie B) Did immigration improve after Brexit? C) Sovereignty is a myth sold to people so they'd vote to leave

@Danecek3000 @Skint_Eastwood1 I voted for Brexit because a) The EU is a failing, expensive, corrupt, undemocratic club, b) Freedom of Movement had to go as we had mass immgration and it was ridiculous, c) The UK needed to get it's sovereignty back. Of course there were downsides to it, but not many!
