This is the reality of a Brit card 🇬🇧
Funny thing is people will think this is absurd and is just A.I fun, but this is highly likely to happen down the line.
On this day in 2006, England kicked off their World Cup campaign against Paraguay.
And in the BBC’s build-up to the match, Ray Stubbs managed to get a few words with Freddie Flintoff and Steve Harmison…

It’s a mess. And meanwhile there’s been the biggest transfer of wealth to the super-rich in history and the UK continues to spend £billions on military aid or military interventions.
British is broken. And broken by governments. We have a bunch of jumped up political shysters treating politics like some sort of parlour game. This is not a game. Nor is it in the national interest. A circus filled with clowns, totally detached from the real world.
Britain has been in decline for decades. But what really destroyed communities was deindustrialisation in the 1980s. So many communities were hollowed out when blue collar industries were sold off to the highest bidder, privatised or completely shut down.
The same cause and effect in South Wales, Central Belt Scotland, NE & NW England, Cornwall etc. These industrialised communities previously had purpose, community spirit and the social infrastructures that created a ties that bind mentality and focus. Ever since the deindustrialisation dismantling of these communities, they have been ignored and left to rot. They are disenfranchised and broken.
Until governments actually listen and understand the concerns of these communities and come up with an effective industrial and manufacturing strategy that reboots and repurposes these areas, then the decline will continue. We have an importing rather than exporting economy and it’s helped create an enormous balance of payments issue and a huge decline in individual and community spirit and confidence and left more and more people dependent on the state. The seeds of decline were sown 4 decades ago and have never been revitalised.
Britain faces huge difficulties and we don’t have the calibre of politicians to deal with the issues being faced. We have the most useless, insincere and out of touch politicians and Westminster media bubble ever seen in British history. We are being led by a bunch of self serving fools who are more concerned about scaremongering society into compliance to obtain even more control, feathering their own nests or issuing dodgy contracts to corporations.
Meanwhile, we are all paying our taxes to fund this shambles and and endure an ongoing cost of living crisis while there’s the biggest transfer of wealth to the super-rich in the history of the planet. It’s an horrendously ill-divided world.
We are paying our taxes for crumbling public services whilst financing dodgy PPE contracts, humongous sums of money being transferred to Ukraine and paying for politicians to shit on us with draconian measures. The worst return on investment ever.
An estimated 500 million people have slipped into poverty since the Covid pandemic began, but the wealth of the world’s 2,668 billionaires has risen by $3.78 trillion since 2020. This is the biggest wealth transfer in the history of the planet. Follow the money transfer of corporatism. Ultimately, that’s what this entire shambles is all about.

To late! The PEDO-LYMPICS has had its Bud Light moment. You add to this holding events in a river of garbage and shit, while arsonists burn up Paris infrastructure and you have a shit show. The cherry 🍒 on top is the estimated one million illegal aliens, running around robbing and raping Parisians and tourist visiting and you get something out a Jeronimus Bosch, painting of Hell. I think it’s actually fitting that they have satanic drag queen shows displaying captured children as the opening ceremony. Paris is hell and when in hell do the demons do. Of course every other big global event has similar satanic ceremonies because it’s the religion of the bankers.
