Something is simmering in England called Nationalism. Racism also lingers. Unionism remains bright. I'm going to try and explain as a Northerner why this is happening. And I deliberately say Northerner, not British or English quite yet. Thread.....

Nationalism has always simmered. You do know that our national religion is called the National Health Service, right? "Racism" is a political construct and growing like cancer. It is all coming from the educated radical left universities and privileged middle class Centrists

It is about reacting to what you have lost. Many have lost a lot since the 1960s. It has reached the point where our country would shatter from failing to deal with it.

Centrists are pushing the 'everybody is a racist" narrative to divide us and set us against each other, not because Britain has a problem with racism. They are creating racism. They are trying to destroy our national identity and our national unity. That is the culture war.

Both and neither. It is there. It is no systemic but it is widespread. There's a difference. The culture war started with mass deinsdustrialisation. Entire communities were bombed out by it.

You are pushing their narrative for them and I'm not accepting it. Our society has class based divisions not race based divisions. Rich black women are not victims. Poor white men are not repressing them. The upper middle class use "racist" and "sexist" to divide the lower class

I never mentioned repression. I mentioned attitudes. And as Ive tweeted, Englishness as a figleaf for the establishment doesnt wash with me. They arent English or British if working class people arent doing well.
