That's easy to explain. Thistle is Scotland's national flower, & the Order is a Scotland's top chivalric honour, and for an ancient order dates back not that far really, after the English Civil War & Restoration lol

Though they like to kid on it traces back to King Angus's forces beating up some Anglo army after a weak copy of the battle of the Milvian Bridge: a St Andrews cross appeared in the sky & was taken as a sign from God. Nothing the toffs like more than pretending to be part of some illustrious ancient group, except noncing, they probably like that more

there should have been more successful invasions after 1066

sometimes i've seen British posters use 'having so much history' as an own against Americans, but I think having so much is why we're so hosed up. Just an unending lineage of utter poo poo.

I get that a few hundred years ago this had a use to keep good relations with a king that might declare war on you. When you don't have that power anymore it becomes as meaningful as my 4 year olds' friend book she passes around her class. It's so pathetic.

I told some friends last night that I have left the party, my reasoning behind it, and where I see the party is now and will be in the future.

In there I stated that the strategy Keith is pursuing is one of demotivating the tory voter instead of enthusing his own and this tweet is a perfect example.

It is him virtue signalling to the tory voter ia is safe NOT to vote tory as Labour are basically the same thing.

It'll work in the sense that getting Biden elected worked i.e. suddenly dumping all the problems of late capital in the Dems lap while they are unable and unwilling to solve them

Like, at least New Labour promised to do, and actually did some stuff like fund schools and hospitals (do not ask how they got this funding)
