A proud patriot yearned for the days when Britain looked like this and ended up schooled into next year
To the wide open plains of Twitter now, where a proud patriot has been yearning for ye olde England of olde.
Specifically, when their home country looked like this, apparently.
I would give absolutely everything for the UK to look like this once again. pic.twitter.com/6JwI5ln1CQ

Britain will never look like this again because business rates/rent & Brexit's import duty are far too high to make a greengrocer's profitable, plus that pond is now full of shit for maximum water company profits, and lastly, Thatcher helped sell off all of our car manufacturing. https://t.co/xZpUfogj5X

The kid has been arrested because he stole the dog. Dog clearly too big for kid to be walking alone. Dog has rabies and gets distracted by ducks and drags kid into pond. Kid cant swim because they didn’t teach it at school. Policeman cant swim either because swimming is woke.… https://t.co/eLGmcHsqxD

Although of course in large parts of the country- where most of the working class was concentrated- it never did look like this. More polio, rickets, slum housing, dangerous working conditions, misogyny, homophobia, lack of social mobility, short life expectancy… https://t.co/LUCDueFKkO
