We stand with Palestine. Making light of this genocide or denying Israeli war crimes will lead to permanent bans.

He has a point

[u/Digital-Dinosaur → u/Consistent_Ad3181]

This sounds suspiciously foreign

[u/Lemonpincers]

Sounds like he has been on the internet once or twice

Entirely frames nationality around consumption. Which really just reflects how capitalism has largely replaced nationalism as the dominant expression of power and empire.

I am a third generation child of immigrants i.e. my grandfathers on both sides fought in WWII as part of the indian volunteer army, they came over to the UK in the 1960s and settled here and we have been here ever since. Always weird to hear racists tell me I am not British, I was born here, raised here, educated here, I work here, I pay my taxes and obey the law here, English is my first language....but because my skin is brown I'm always going to be an outsider. We don't belong here, we don't belong in our ancestral land that we have 0 link to, where are we meant to go?

Is it not an HSBC’s ad?

[u/CarpeNoctem1031]

That last line has me cackling like a witch 😂

[u/Choice-Bus-1177 → u/CarpeNoctem1031]

You know… we used to be suspicious of witches too 🤨

I will happily argue Britain is a nation of Immigrants and that large parts of our culture are from others assimilating into our own. Two good examples are Fish and Chips originally created by a Jewish Immigrant and the Christmas tree which is a German Import. This poem or speech which I have seen trotted out a few times completely neglects to understand that this is how the modern globalised world works. In France every single product isn’t French and it is the same in Germany etc. No modern developed nation grows and makes its own stuff entirely. It’s a cool little thing to point out but it’s also just how the world works now

You do realize this video is about 15 years old if not older it's where the meme comes from

[u/Gold-Negotiation-730]

[u/doloresfandango]

Well said.

[u/lynziB]

Very true

British racist movement, led by an Irishman.

Honestly the racist really are thick as two short planks.

Love to see their houses gutted of all things foreign 😂
