This is why we ideally shouldn't sport flags outside of official state functions/institutions.

It shows how far we’ve fallen as a nation that people are getting upset by kit designs or recipes for scones.

Years ago nobody gave two hoots. In the case of the scones, the people complaining now heartily endorsed the recipe.

Makes you wonder who are the real people that hate this Land, could it be the ones that are constantly driving hate amongst us? 🤔

In the meantime, the truth of broken Britain lies in the following article. Younger generations squeezed by economic disenfranchisement are having fewer children.

Our economy will be ever more dependant on immigration.

Come come, a proper scone is delicious, and reading that link it seems that the NT are saying that they haven't used dairy in their scones for years, but, for the life of me, I cant find one of their recipes which doesn't contain egg or milk, so, in the interest of veracity, can any of you IT geniuses take a few minutes to find one?
I hesitate to accuse the NT spokesperson of telling porkies.
Please, pretty please.

It’s not so much the recipe.

It’s more a case of trying to whip people up into a frenzy of fury and to keep those fires burning. Any subject will seemingly do these days, even if it was once praised.

According to this report a NT spokesman says their scones have been dairy free for years, well, either the spokesman is lying or is just plain stupid and doesn't realise that eggs and milk are dairy. :P

Some people are clearly trying to whip cream into a frenzy and apply it liberally to the scone face of British politics. I say this is money for jam.

It's almost as if the DM know how to infuriate their readership with misleading stories!
DM readers will deny being so easily led, of course :mrgreen:

I must admit, it’s a marvellous business model.

- Keep telling people life was great in the past
- Tell people their lives are being ruined today
- Find a (visible) enemy people can blame
- Keep well in with the Government of the day, who could put a stop most of the problems occurring in an instant
