England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, the most stereotypically Tory conservative man of the 21st Century, responded to Suella Braverman with a long-form video criticizing her position and rejecting a race-based theory of Englishness, and in response has been ratioed by the increasingly feral British online far-right.
We need to stand up to scumbags like this now. These are our communities they're trying to poison
Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.
"It's with a sense of sadness and regret that we announce that our latest drummer has also spontaneously combusted."

One of the things I've always enjoyed about Japanese football is how they insist on playing even if the pitch is completely waterlogged. Just look at the state of this 😂 youtu.be/yri8Oz54GTQ?...
Worth remembering that while they've been wreaking havoc on our streets, you could be arrested just for saying the words "I support Palestine Action"
Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

This is absolutely shameful given all the money in English football. There's no way the English game can't spare fifty grand for the amputee team. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Trump: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like to cut it off. Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. Cut off all trade with Spain, please. Including visits. We don't want anything to do. They're hopeless. Bad people."

While I appreciate Oxford City Council's attempts to reduce traffic congestion and encourage public transport usage, I do wish they'd prioritised carrot over stick. Public transport is still too expensive and not good enough to meet everyone's needs www.itv.com/news/meridia...

Looks like Friends of Stratfield Brake are going to keep their lawyers very busy with all this development near their 'ancient woodland'. I'm sure they'll be piping up any moment now....
The plans promise to “optimise density given an exceptionally sustainable location next to Oxford Parkway”, with buildings of up to four or five storeys. Much of the surrounding area is already earmarked for development, such as OUFC’s new stadium, a supercomputer campus, and housing at Water Eaton.
