Ignorance is strength.
Hengist & Horsa's Humble Bequest
Is to just, please, give it a rest:
The plethora of techo-junk-gibberish
That purports to tell us who we are and who we must be.
Genetically, you canna convince me;
Sinister motives mebbe but sinister consequences, aye.
A sparkly world of the eternally new
'fwiended' with a lipth
of likes
Can you adam and heave it:
networking on a stick
everybody's sick
of it.
This pretended amiability in all its falsity
Redolent of the reverse-rectitude life in any English city today, circa summer 2019.
'Leaders' tell us that our community must, simply must,
Befriend this or that refugee make him or her feel, magically, at-home
How?
When I do not feel at home, and haven't done in years.
A stranger in a strange land, my multi-ethnic anonymous facebookfriend,.
Diversity is just the only way to be - we're all aliens now
Let's just see: Celts, Jutes, Frisians, Angles, Saxons, Normans
Took centuries and centuries to learn to tolerate each other
And stop murdering each other
This English 'community' coalesced slowly:
A thousand years of wars brought Geordie,
Scouse, RP, Cockney into a common heritage
That has survived 1500 years;
whilst the multi-ethnic, diversity-friendly, right-on, pc
Roman empire disappeared swiftly into the ruins of eternity.

Some very astute observations here John , well documented. the title reminds me of 1984 by Orwell
Nice one
