Thank you for your summary. When will the UK madness end? I'm willing there to be a huge UK strike saying 'Enough'.
We seriously need President Trump to refuse a trade deal and isolate us. Maybe that will focus what minds there are left in Parliament, but I don't hold out much hope.
The only words of comfort I can offer in this political madness is that nothing Keir Starmer pledges himself to ever comes true. He is the King of Lies, the Lord of the Flies. Other leaders can probably assess this for themselves and in spite of the photoshoots and media games, they will distance themselves with empty promises and no action.
The problem in England and to a certain extent Britain as a whole is that both flags have been 'demonised' over the past 40 years or so. English Nationalism (unlike Scottish, Welsh and Irish Nationalism) has been looked down upon and regarded as racist, and people who display the flag are made to feel ashamed. Therefore, I think that the best conservatives and 'Nation-State preservers' are going to get is a Party like Reform, working within the Establishment, but distancing itself from any overt Nationalism. Working towards winning an Election and being in power are two different things. I mean, look at Labour!

Very excellent journalism David. You not explained UK but Canada too in the same context.
They elite won't listen until everyone stops voting for them. To see Starmer with any kind of power makes me sick.
