When people say, “I want the country how it was”, what “was” do they mean? When Lee Anderson says he wants his country back, back to what . Anywhere, here is a photo of some British troops during The Great War

They want maypoles and village fêtes but not one of those arses would volunteer to help out in any shape or form. They'd just roll up, get pissed and shout at the tombola.

During the recent commemoration of the landings to liberate Provence in August 1944 President Macron specifically stated that the soldiers who came ashore that day were largely African. In his speech he said “Ces hommes s’appelaient François, Boudjema, Harry, Pierre, Niakara”.

He means a crime-free, monocultural world that never was.

Just racist idiots talking bullshit. Britain ransacked all over the world. Leaving these countries with nothing. It's how it became so rich. In the name of the empire.As for that twatt Anderson. He should be deported with his arsehole of mate Farage.Send them to Russia. Sure putin will love em

I’m fascinated by this. Like with Brexit. The Britain they wanted wasn’t Britain. It was 1950s Johannesburg. So much of the far right since the 70s has been propped up by the final aging sons of empire

he means 'white' with a side-order of being allowed to drive your car home after 8 pints of double diamond

Hence forth I’m going to declare that making the country “how it was” will entail a complete reversal of Brexit and rejoining of the EU.

The statement, “I want the country as it used to be” or something similar, is the sort of things said by someone who has never moved on from being a child.

They always assume they’d be the landed gentry and never the serfs.
