White Flag on the White Cliffs

Pictures of refugees normally show them dejected. But the thousands of young men who cross the English Channel to England in small boats are jubilant - like victorious invaders. Which is what they are, since they are secure in the knowledge that there has been a massive shift in power around the world. They're helped by the UK Border Force (whose job really is to prevent illegal immigration) on the orders of this Conservative Government which was elected to restrict immigration! ... Labour's victory at Batley and Spen on 1 July 2021 inspires a variation of Labour's traditional song. It's also a variation on Vera Lynn's famous song "There'll be bluebirds over The White Cliffs of Dover..." It is: "While cowards flinch and traitors fear We'll keep the white flag flying here."
