What a picture!

I don't normally go in for purile trot leftism, but this one is class.

Our jolly scottish cousins

This picture shows what fun it must be attending socialist rallys in Scotland... Hmmm... OK

Good lad

I wouldn't want to be accused of parochialism!

The English are racist!

Aren't we? You know a lot of people on the left and in liberal circles (mostly the middle classes it seems) like to claim that the english are racist and so is any attempt at fostering an English identity.

Well no... Surely rather than criticising the behaviour of people around the world cup and other big events, why not encourage people to come together under a shared English identity?

Rather than encouraging people to describe themselves as "Afro-carribean" or Muslim, or "Anglo-Saxon" why not just say English?

Maybe that gay English flag is just another example of the latent fascism of the English people...

The Visual Front

On a lighter note, I've found this cool site that gives me an excuse to attempt posting my first picture!

It's full of posters (mostly republican) from the Spanish Civil War, probably the last time republicans, socialists, communists, and anarchists were all too briefly united in a common front against the true enemy.

This poster says that "saving the crop is the same as defeating the enemy in battle".
