I’ve suffered a Twitter suspension Which merited too much attention So this account’s new Please follow it too And retweet – it’s well worth a mention

If the Carribean disapora in England are as English as me why are they seeking reparations from the British state for what my ancestors did to their ancestors? If the Pakistani disapora in England are as English as me why do they target working class white girls and call them dirty English kafir as they invite over their entire clan to rape them? If all the people who come here are encouraged to keep their own customs and exploit their ethnicity for career opportunities denied the indegenous peoples, how can they also be English?

Britishness as a prize, not an inherent part of identity. Many non-native ethnics see it this way, and they're backed up by those in the political class, the media class, the lanyard class, etc etc. Ben OJ does it here, implying that he's actually more British than Richard because he's served in the military. I'm not aware of the details of Ben's service, but I'm willing to thank him for it - it takes an amount of courage and discipline that few have nowadays, and we're all benefitting from those who risk themselves to do it. But it has nothing to do with nationality or ethnicity. Why would it? You could describe the most indisputably noble, courageous, selfless person alive and there'd be no way to know that person's race, ethnicity or nationality. We saw the same with Allison Pearson talking about Bukayo Saka. "He was a great student and a brilliant footballer - what more does he have to do to convince you he's British?" As if these facts are at all related. The sinister undertone is that Britishness and Englishness are actually just rewards in their entirety. That one cannot be born into these things, they have to be earned through character and accomplishment - and there are billions around the planet competing with you for them. Many millions, by sheer force of numbers, will score higher than you will. So, Mr Ethnically Vanilla, what are you going to achieve to earn your Britishness?

Those comments 😂

The right kind of small boat.

The Belgian government intervened after the American Ambassador threatened to rename ‘Flanders’ as ‘Ned Flanders’. This is realpolitik. @nathancofnas

He would’ve played ‘Crimea River’ but the troops said “Odessa laugh”

In one final act of selfishness, just before their children and grandchildren children are condemned to hated minority status, boomers are going to vote for a party which refuses to commit to reversing demographic change in droves…and they will pat themselves on the back for it. The worst generation, bar none.

Those who rely on buses lead a sheltered life.

The snack of firm government

Rare photo of Count Binface's great uncle who, despite making it in showbiz, brought shame on the family by not going into politics. @CountBinface
