Narrative

To unite our people on vital national priorities and end division along identity politics. We all have multiple identities but the one that matters most today is that we are subjects of a fading failing Ealing comedy state presided over by a rotten establishment of losers in danger of sinking our ship with the loss of all hands. We need an experienced steady hand on the tiller.
