π¨ Rangers fans can be quite difficult to place on a political spectrum.
But only because theyβre often wearing a poppy, doing a Hitler salute and waving an Israeli flag, all at the same time.
I speak for me and me alone.
Nobody on here has called out the worst excesses of Englishness in here, nobody. And at England games too.
But if you're Scottish or Irish or Welsh reading this, most English people care about, like you, is food on the table, grafting and being, for now, part of a union of nations.
Me, today, I'm tapped out. Never believed in the union, I believe in an English independent nation that trades with 3 or 4 other neighbours as friends. I love England, I do not love nor hate the other constituent parts.
What I do know is Scottish media and politicians, not brain dead pundits, have been more than happy to twist the knife this last month.
So please, Scotland and Wales, vote for independence so we can all have our own destiny, as friends without tagging a nation of 40 million as some sort of colonial oppressor. We're fucking not.
And the cheek of the Scots and Welsh pretending they weren't a part of every British atrocity is fucking laughable.
Scotland are the only European team to win a match at the 2026 World Cup so far...

EXC: I spoke to Nicola Sturgeon about her World Cup predictions and her views on the issues surrounding the tournament for working-class football fans.
These pics came up one after the other on my timeline.
One of them is beautiful, sentimental, heart warming & life affirming.
The other one is Daizen & his child.
