  2. Loyalists showering themselves in glory, as usual

  3. Bunch of wankers. If they accidentally set themselves on fire, the world would be a better place.

  4. If loyalists are so terrified of absolutely everything and anything, they could consider taking themselves away to fuck from the country so the rest of us can bring it into the modern age.

    Maybe fuck off away till America. I’m sure yous would love trumpian style fascism.
