Decided to start a movement to ban the National Anthem a song designed to glorify the defeat and slaughter of the Scots and ultimately led to the Highland Clearances which resulted in further death. I think its high time we a had an anthem designed to unify the nations. And no I'm not Scottish.

Honestly, fuck it. I give up. I would LOVE people to support and share posts from small creators: artists, writers, comedians, poets, film-makers… everyone who is not part of some big corporate organisation, people who are trying to make a go of it on their own. If you don't want to, fine 🤷‍♂️
