Election Year or Fear!

I think the answer is not from whom but "back to". Rightly or wrongly they yearn for the "country" in which they grew up. I'm a frequent enough visitor to see that it isn't the country I grew up in. There's several reasons for my thinking that and I've covered them all in the past, you know what they are so I won't bore you with repetition.

I'm not anti business. I understand that entrepreneurs need the incentive of turning a profit in order to invest in new ventures or upgrading existing ones. I also see that there's a difference between socially responsible business and what I find as reprehensible business practices. Example? Burton Upon Trent. I've described this before so I'll not repeat.

PS - it wasn't my point on "wanting the country back" that I put in the post to which you replied, I was explaining what my DJ friend had posted about what she'd experienced when she moved to the "unite" protest.

Completely appreciate that it was your friend’s interpretation of the UtK protest and not yours, MA.
I just want to understand what ‘we want our country back’ actually means.

My earlier tiny ‘rant’ - blame the sun - was suggesting that I too want my country back…to something it used to be, but I think the chant of ‘we want our country back’ has become something much more sinister.

AF, I think, and TTR certainly, regularly mock Starmer’s ‘smash the gangs’ mantra but, to me, it makes a damned sight more sense than the vacuous chant of ‘we want our country back’ which begs the questions, from what, from who, to what…and who are ‘we’ anyway?
