Why Can't These People Learn English?
One of the nation's less important Farage Falange-lite political parties hit rather a sweet spot of Britishness by handing out chocolate bars in a wrapper that mis-spelled the name of the country and the country's favourite battle. Apparently the Farage Falange itself once made a similar gaffe, although in the case of Lee Anderson illiteracy is presumably a point of pride; and another of the nation's less important right-wing parties, Scottish Labour, also managed to mis-spell the word Scottish this year in a by-election campaign. The typing error at the Conservative rah-and-blah, doubtless the work of some sleep-deprived drudge at an Inner Mongolia union-jack factory, was elegantly complemented by non-smart quote marks around the patriotic Badenochian thuggicism in which the sacred word appeared. Smart quotes are also known as sixty-sixes and ninety-nines, so given the Conservatives' ability with numbers the omission may be one of their more prudent decisions of the past decade and a half.
