Ashamed to be British

[zzzzz]

I've always held up us Brits and stuck up for our sense of decency, fair play and doing the right, not always, but often.

But our values have been massively underwritten by this Tory government to the extent where I'm becoming really disillusioned.

Massive reduction in immigration when it's needed ..... see the NHS
Massive reduction in our overseas aid budget
Brexit and the little Englanders wanting 'our country back' Utter Fkwits.

And this Rwanda policy...... simply horrific.
Ministers were advised by experts that the Rwandan government systematically torture and murder political opponents and yet they still gleefully plan to pass on the desperate asylum seekers fleeing...... political torture and murder.

And the saddest thing about it all........ nobody seems to give a fk.

Don't be ashamed of your country just because of a handful of middle/upper class self serving tw4ts. None of them represent the people which is why the system is so broken.

Exactly the tories aren’t Britain despite what many think.

It’s more than a few and they are not all middle/ upper class. Many of their enablers, their voters, support these abhorrent policies.

Unfortunately this country got the government it voted for.

A good few million people need to wake up next time they visit the polling booth.

Sadly our system says they are, and they do these things because they think it's popular.
Sadly 'we' voted for Brexit.
And sadly this is what the world sees.

To keep the temperature down, a lighthearted view from Zoe Williams on France.

As a Brit abroad post-Brexit, I wanted to wear a badge saying: ‘Don’t look at me – I didn’t vote for this!’ | Zoe Williams

It used to be fun holidaying with the French, but now the rest of Europe doesn’t seem to know what to make of us, writes Zoe Williams
