Well, there’s coronation chicken, which was literally invented by an English lady for Elizabeth II’s coronation. It conjures up images of street parties, the post-war spirit, and Union flag bunting – it doesn’t get much more quintessentially British than that!

Just kidding, it’s curry. 😁

I guess at least it’s an English dish that they added Indianness to, if that makes you feel any better?

VR, AI…

They’ve already followed in The Orange Menace’s footsteps by banning anything but the Union Flag, St George’s Cross, and county flags being flown at the council buildings they control. Presumably mostly to stamp out Pride flags.

In the US, the rule doesn’t apply on “special occasions” – Bonners Ferry in Idaho passed a resolution stating that every day is a special occasion, so they could keep flying the Canadian flag as a sign of friendship. Salt Lake City, Utah and Boise, Idaho just changed their flags to incorporate the Pride flag. 😅

This is good to see. 40 rebels isn’t nearly enough to stop it – but there are some big names on the list, including people from the left and right of the party.

And: 40 rebels is enough that removing the whip from all of them would be madness. It might be enough to plant the seed that “rebelling is an option, actually”.
