Patriotism is seeing the best in your country and celebrating it. It's not seeing the worst in other countries and blaming it.

In the past month alone, over 12M people joined Bluesky, with daily active users growing 10x. We received more reports in two days than in all of last year, and have integrated new systems and quadrupled our moderation team to try and keep up. Sometimes, we have to work quickly to correct errors.

"Plenty of Brexiters believed, in good faith, that a buccaneering, free-trading Britain could thrive in a world of open borders. But that world has gone now, replaced by one of war, barriers and Darwinian competition." Great points @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t” westenglandbylines.co.uk/news/brexit/...

The county of Pembrokeshire was divided between an English speaking south (a result of Norman settlement) and a Welsh speaking north. Outside the boroughs the north Welsh part had greater numbers, ensuring the Conservatives were usually unsuccessful in Pembroke until the 1970s.

In the late 90s & early 2000s we in the UK received (very roughly) 80,000 asylum applications per year. Mainly people escaping Balkan wars. Today in these “unprecedented” times of “invasion” by small boat… we receive pretty much the exact same numbers. Had you been taken in? I wouldn’t blame you.
