I know why Britain is so miserable – we’re not allowed to be proud of our country

by Allison Pearson, Telegraph:

“For the first time I feel somehow
That it isn’t going to last…
And that will be England gone,

The shadows, the meadows, the lanes,
The guildhalls, the carved choirs.
There’ll be books; it will linger on
In galleries; but all that remains
For us will be concrete and tyres.

Going, Going – Philip Larkin (1946)

“I want my country back.” When Lee Anderson uttered those words in his no-nonsense, Nottinghamshire miner’s style, as he announced he was defecting from the Conservative Party to Reform UK, how many of us silently concurred? We, too, would like our country back, if you don’t mind.

The feeling has been growing for quite some time. There is a sad, wistful kind of unspoken grief that our nation is being abducted by aliens who are hostile to its history and traditions, who pretty much despise everything we love about Britain and who work through any means possible (except democracy) to change and subvert it. Everything is bad about this country, or so they claim, apart from its ability to provide generous funds for their cruelly oppressed lives and rich material for their grievances.

It reminds me of those parasites scientists have discovered that hijack their host’s brain and body. Apparently, such manipulation can take several forms. For instance, suicide of the host. Well under way in the UK; the Church of England is starving parishes to death while lavishing £1 billion on slavery reparations. See also the RAF discriminating against white males, traditionally rather reliable defenders of our nation against her enemies.

Another method is decreasing the fear of predators so that the host gets eaten (the universities in bed with the Chinese who nick our intellectual property spring to mind). And then there’s making the host defend or nurture the invader (think cuckoos – you can come up with examples, I’m sure).
