I get making fun of America for its flag worship and stuff but Brexit should be all the reminder you need that you don’t need flags in every classroom and a pledge of allegiance every morning for the people of a country to turn out absurdly xenophobic.
This is very true, and (but?) from personal experience I gather that a great deal of the Brexiteers were people who remembered when there was a flag in every classroom and were desperate for them to return.
Britain loves to make jokes about adverse weather conditions and how they’re an inconvenience rather than a danger, but Storm Doris has actually killed someone in the Midlands. :(
UKIP MEP Nigel Farage goes off on another racist speech at the European Parliament, this time praising Trump’s Muslim ban and yelling at the European MEPs for not respecting Trump. Labour MEP Seb Dance decides to troll him silently.
Also, important to note – this didn’t happen in the UK. It happened in the European Parliament and the man holding up the sign is UK Member of the European Parliament Seb Dance, pointing it toward Nigel Farage, former leader of the UKIP, the far-right, xenophobic party in the UK that banked hard on Brexit and on demonizing Eastern Europeans like myself.
