Someone appears to hate foreigners so much that they have paid for this massive effigy of Theresa May standing on the white cliffs of Dover sticking her fingers up at anyone who arrives on a Ferry.
This will no doubt encourage European leaders to give consideration to the very best possible deal for Britain in the talks that start in a fortnight’s time. I mean who could refuse anything to such nice polite, open minded, cultured people?
According to Kent On Line, the figure has now been removed, but no one seems to know who put it up in the first place. Whoever it was had a bit of spare cash to throw around though, so best not look for the culprit amongst the lower orders. This wouldn’t have come cheap.
Can you imagine the fuss the BBC and the right wing press would have made if a figure of Nicola Sturgeon draped in a Saltire had been erected on our borders making the two fingers sign to the people wishing to visit our country?

If you look at the picture another way, noting how the cable from the crane’s jib looks like a rope around the effigy’s neck, it can be seen as a depiction of the imminent hanging of the Evil Theresa. “Just raise that jib a bit higher, craneman!”

Given materials used, location required for construction, plant hire etc.. I think it will be common knowledge locally who is responsible so the truth will come out. All that’s required is for some giant of the MSM to get off their arse and the internet for long enough to go and find out.
The whole exercise is a perfect illustration of how a lack of good taste, common sense and decency transcends the boundaries of class and affluence.

TPW,
No doubt you or one of the many other knowledgable afficionados on this site will be able to direct me to where it is confirmed (Great) Britain is an actual Country?
I understood the Countries are (alphabetically) England and Scotland only (the United Kingdom); Wales being a Principality.
These three were brought together as the United Kingdom (UK), within the PARLIAMENT of Great Britain.
Northern Ireland, a Province, being added later and hence – as our passports -‘The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’.
Thus, we are only a UNITED KINGDOM and not a Country. (Except individually as England and Scotland).
I shall of course bow to those who can show me the error(s) in my presumption.
Of course, you may only have been referring to England here!

Hi Grumpy – I mean Ian – I can answer that one, but Grouse Beater did it better: here you go. grousebeater.wordpress.com/2016/12/20/scotlands-pretendy-powers/
The UK is indeed composed of two countries, a principality and a province, as far as I am aware, according to the description lodged by the UK government with the United Nations way back when – the UK was a founder member of the UN in 1945, don’t forget. The Welsh are of course not best pleased when Wales is not recognized as a country, which of course it is. However, there has been movement on that – the International Organization for Standardization (ISO to you and me) corrected the definition a while back because Wales does not meet the definition of a principality, as it does not have a prince who has any executive role in its administration (and hasn’t had for centuries). As ISO is part of the UN system and such changes have to be accepted by its member States – INCLUDING the UK – then we can assume that the UK Government accepts that Wales and Scotland are just as much countries as England is.
In other words, the original description of the UK which the UK government lodged with the UN was wrong. It is, of course, pretty typical of the Westminster mindset to make such mistakes: it’s because, as we well know, they think (vaguely) that the UK is simply Greater England, and it matters not to them whether Scotland is a country or a region, or Wales is a country or a principality. Anyway, it’s actually not up to Them to tell US (or the Welsh) whether where we live is a country or not; if we say it is, then it is. The problem is one of getting our status properly recognized where it matters.
Here’s a link to the updated ISO standard: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:GB
Caveat. Though Scotland, Wales and England are described simply as countries, that ISO standard includes this little gem: “nation – GB-EAW – England and Wales”.
Conclusion: as the UK has three countries in it, it cannot itself be (accurately) described as a country, in my view. Nor can it be described (accurately) as a nation. It is a State – it would have to be, to be a State Member of the United Nations (that’s the correct UN form, by the way) and a Permanent Member of the Security Council.
You may also see various references to the UK as a unitary State. This is, in my view, unfortunate, because lurking within that definition is the concept that the central government is supreme, and can overrule and shut down the devolved administrations whenever it likes, change our (sub)national borders, and so on and forth. This is the context in which oor Kezia’s attachment to federalism is best understood, I think.
I just had a look, and Wikipedia have a serviceable definition of “unitary state” v. “federalism”.
There are huge and self-contradictory inconsistencies and illogicalities in the structures and operation of the lash-up of a polity we are forced to endure. I think it’s beyond saving, myself: the ship of state is so self-evidently rotten from stem to stern.

Sorry, people – I forgot to add that the ISO standard dates to 2013, so I don’t believe the likes of Governor-General Mundell can claim that it’s all the fault of the previous administration.
The correct status of Scotland is, of course, “colony”.

Yea. It is a shame about Corbyn being Old Nick’s apprentice. By comparison Mrs May walking through a field of corn seems rather tame.
Still, the evil bitch has made up for it since.

If he partnered up with Nicola Sturgeon it would be the end of civilisation as we know it.
