  English. nothing in her speech was about Britain it was all about being English and how unfair it is that we don't celebrate that or learn about it in school. Which is nonsense and was clearly written by her dad. Given that they're on the grift with Tommy Two Names I'm inclinded to think they're Brexiteer Reform Tommy fans so fuck em.

    Is there a copy of her speech somewhere that we could read?

    You still talking about the 12 year old girl in the article? Strange 😲.

  Geri Halliwell will obviously need to be investigated.

  A since-deleted Facebook post from the school, which included a flyer for the Culture Day, said the event was dedicated to “recognising and celebrating the rich cultural diversity within our school community”.

  “We encourage students to consider wearing attire that reflects their nationality or family heritage,” it said.

  Any outfits that were worn had to be “appropriate for a school setting”, the post added, and had to hold cultural significance.

  Horrible idea. They were playing with fire by going ahead with this in the first place. Practically asking for a controversy.

  FFS. Some fucking gammon moron goads his daughter in making some anti-woke speech under the guise of it being “are culcha” and then gets plastered everywhere when there’s an inevitable fallout. It’s classic baiting.

  Look at this melts statement:
