England’s contested 1,100-year anniversary passed with little public interest, reflecting a broadly unbothered national identity, even as a small but vocal far-right English nationalism gains visibility. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/01/19/world/being-properly-english/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #uk #england #tommyrobinson #donaldtrump #nigelfarage #mikenesbitt #georgeorwell #johnmajor #rishisunak #labour #tories #reformuk #conservativeparty #ulsterunionistparty #maga #englishdefenceleague
So what does it mean to be properly English?

There’s nothing wrong in anybody taking pride in being English, of course, but as Orwell said, there’s something very un-English in shouting about it.

Ipsos (Dec 2025): Starmer recorded a net dissatisfaction rating of –66%. The lowest rating recorded for any British #PrimeMinister since Ipsos began tracking the figures in 1977, surpassing previous lows set by #JohnMajor & #JeremyCorbyn!

#MargaretThatcher resigned her leadership of the #Conservative Party on #ThisDayInHistory in 1990, losing also her position as Prime Minister, with both jobs going to #JohnMajor. #Thatcher remains a polarizing figure who pushed UK politics rightward to #neoliberalism & #nativism.

If #JohnMajor and #GordonBrown started a party I would vote for that. Competent, honourable, and effective government seems like a dim and distant dream these days. #UKPolitics.

The housing market in the #uk appears to have changed radically towards the end of the 1990s. Earlier despite fluctuations the level of house prices did not change much in relation to prices in general - it seems to have been roughly the same under #johnmajor as it had been under #edwardheath . It then tripled in less than a decade. Across the #uk it is still two and a half times the previous level while in #london it is close to four times. This divergence occurred after 2008.
