Serious questions and musings

My main reason for hating them is the introduction of tuition fees and student loans the year before I would have gone to uni. In my family, we always said "it's OK to be broke, but never get in to debt". So that scuppered my life plans.

Not to mention how authoritarian they are, as we are seeing right now.

Good point well made. I come from a poor background and wasn’t discouraged from going to uni despite the tuition fee introduction but I can see why that would impact:

I suppose my only counter would be is there any political party that would do 100% of the what you agree with? Plus still convinced on authoritarianism, it’s too easy to throw about, worryingly close at time for sure but authoritarian governments don’t allow criticism and as far as I can see we can happily critique the government.

I have come to the conclusion, those who are putting the flags up. Have no idea why they are doing it.

It's the same thing when England play the world cup, Christmas lights, halloween, or banging pots and setting off a fireworks displant when we clapped the NHS to hide the 5G test signal or something. It's just folk trying to one up over there neighbours.

I'm tired off being English

All I know is that my road doesn't need any unofficial flags..... because the council have put up official union flag banners on every lamp post to celebrate 80 years since the Battle of Britain.
