Britain wants every school going child in the country to sing "One Britain One Nation", a propaganda song, on the 25th of June. leaving aside the similarities to Hitler Youth, the 25th of June is actually out of term for most of Scotland, and most children won't actually be at school then. thepoke.co.uk/2021/06/23/…

oh wow, these lyrics

Seriously? Half of Britain voted to leave the EU because of foreigners, the government is actively kicking out EU and foreign expatriates, and now you're ordering your children to sing a propaganda song about how you opened your doors and widened your shores and how there are so many races in Britain in the same place, and how you celebrate your differences with love in your heart?

Oh shit

Apple Daily, Pro-Democracy Newspaper in Hong Kong, Says It Will Close

@Nzall The likes tally on the video suggests that you are not alone in your feelings about OBON. Which I Googled. And was really confused when I saw it was a solid reference to a Japanese festival. Oh! One Britain One Nation! Got it! And for real? That's not a parody?

Cuz

Yowza

Don't mind us, we're just doing a fascism over here

As a treat

@Ronan The problem is that unlike in the US, the fascists in the UK are actually the majority

I'm not sure either of those are necessarily the case

@Ronan talking by election numbers here

Yeah we definitely don't have any issues with voter suppression in the UK, 100% of the population votes and always exactly aligned with their ideals

Also that would indicate that the number of fascists went down in the US during the Trump administration

@Wipqozn Oh dear. I'm afraid Alaskans will get behind that line. Damn you, Lisa!

8-1 SCOTUS ruling said public schools have no general power to punish students for what they say off campus. Exceptions in case of bullying or threats

I wonder if that partially overturns Morse v. Frederick but probably not lol

(then they ruled that if someone was nearby a school event that still counts)

> The Biden administration sided with the school.

lmao

very cool thanks joe

👍

Probably not because the ruling is pretty weak, yeah

> Getting subtle messages from U.S. officials saying, in effect: "We're coming for you McAfee! We're going to kill yourself". I got a tattoo today just in case. If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd. Check my right arm.

I mean he was going in for tax fraud not for running a global pedophile ring that involves dozens of powerful people so possible motive is less clear here

not that it's impossible just that the answer to "why would someone kill him in prison" is much more clear for jeff than for john here
