I don't want to become a minority in my own country

It’s tragic how great Nations are fallen. Consumed by self-destructive pathologies embraced by their “elites.”
God help England.

The Church of England decided this week to cover the interior of the oldest cathedral in England in graffiti in order to represent the voices of “marginalised communities.” The Very Rev David Monteith, Dean of Canterbury, said: “There is a rawness which is magnified by the graffiti style, which is disruptive. It is unfiltered and not sanitised.” “This exhibition intentionally builds bridges between cultures, styles and genres and allows us to receive the gifts of younger people who have much to say.” It’s actually stunning how much the elite of Britain hate their own culture and civilisation. You couldn’t even invent this as satire. They are literally scrawling graffiti on the walls of ancient cathedrals. Everything beautiful is just torn down and destroyed.

@RWTaylors Sometimes it makes me proud, sometimes it makes me ashamed. It all depends on how and why it’s being used, in a word “context”.
English
If this flag offends you, makes you angry, or you hate to see it flying high, then leave!

@JDVance They are stickers, not permanent graffiti. While if you look at many old churches in Europe, they are often covered in permanent graffiti (e.g. etched into the stone) that is 100s of years old, so what’s your point?
English
It is weird to me that these people don't see the irony of honoring "marginalized communities" by making a beautiful historical building really ugly.

@RupertLowe10 Really vague: (1) what level of proficiency, how would this be decided and how is it assessed? (2) would this also apply to Scotland, Wales & NI, or do you just not understand what country you live in? (3) Most importantly, why? What’s your reasoning, if any?

If a foreign national living in England is unable to speak English, they should not be able to continue living in England.

@Mofoman360 You’d have to first define what you mean by “woke nonsense” before anyone can reasonably say whether they want to do away with it.
English
Would you love The United Kingdom 🇬🇧 to get back to good old values and do away with woke nonsense
Yes or No?
English
@TheBritishIntel Yes and if the waiting room was rammed with patients you’d concoct some sort of conspiracy theory out of that as well.
English
🚨🇬🇧 WATCH: GP SURGERY “FULLY BOOKED” — BUT COMPLETELY EMPTY
Footage shows yet another GP surgery claiming “no appointments available” while the waiting room sits totally empty.
🔴 Locals say it’s the same story everywhere
🔴 Patients can’t see their own doctors
🔴 The NHS system is broken beyond repair
Are you seeing the same where you live?
Is this happening nationwide — or are we just being lied to? 🇬🇧

@Nigel_Farage @Nigel_Farage is it really something you need to get worked up about??

The National Trust has put vegan tampons in men’s toilets. God help us.

First year field week with Marine Biology @PlymUni students, on the south Devon coast. The beautiful rocks were formed around 400 million years ago!

Holding Muslim people collectively responsible for the actions of Islamic terrorists is as wrong as it is to hold Jewish people collectively responsible for the actions of the IDF. Could we for once have a conversation about tackling hate & extremism that isn't completely stupid.

@TRobinsonNewEra Meanwhile you can see the normal people in the background who just want to go about their day without waving flags and being a pain in the arse.

Union flag ripped from a young girl's hands today in Newcastle.
As not to "offend" the foreigners and communists shouting "nazi" at them?!

@OYesWeAreStrong @Keir_Starmer He was doing his job - part of the rule of law, which underpins our democracy.
English
@Keir_Starmer Keir Starmer knows so much about democracy and freedom, he has to use it to defend Al-Qaida on British soil.

Our flag is a source of pride, and I know what it means to people.
We will never let the small minority exploit that symbol to stir up violence, division and threats to our democracy.

@TRobinsonNewEra To give some perspective, on the same day around 821,000 went to the football including 11,801 at Kenilworth Road (FT: 0-3).

@Saskiateague @TRobinsonNewEra Is how she dresses not up to her?
English
@Steveohmygoodne @I_amMukhtar @JDVance Not at all. Those who felt the need to march through London waving flags were not prevented from doing so. The vast majority did not bat an eyelid and got on with their usual Saturday. For example 821,000 attended a football match that day (Luton Town 11,801).

@I_amMukhtar @JDVance Absolute LMAO
The Brits are having an identity crisis culture war over being able to fly their own flag

BREAKING:
So, following our huge Unite The Kingdom rally, I'm naturally tired and thought I'd go on a quiet break.
Yet I've been deported from 2 countries in the last 24hrs, for get this: being a "Threat to national security" and "citizen coexistence".

@TRobinsonNewEra She said “Sharia forms no part of the law of England and Wales” …so what’s the problem?
English
Labour are now openly advocating for Sharia law in OUR parliament.
And decided YOU must embrace it!
English
@TRobinsonNewEra Even under the circumstance that your children are Muslim? And if your children aren’t Muslim why should they not visit? Please explain.
English
Do NOT, under any circumstances, let your children visit a mosque.
