I?m not sure Perry is drag, or his will is to ?titillate? (and phrasing like that is disparaging, but you know that, but you shoehorn it in none the less) his expression isn?t based around that scene. And what are you saying, that drag is over? And conflating Izzard and Perry isn?t going to add anything to the discussion, Izzards thing is his own. Why not start a subjective thread on it if it helps further the discussion on the matters of attire and attitudes, present and past. So, back to the flag, and the new London Union or United territory.

But let?s not get Grayson and his alter ego mixed up. Grayson is a social commentator of some standing , his Reith lectures and work as an artist prove that. Clair his alter ego is his expression of himself in part, of course it contrives to shock and create discussion, but it shouldn?t render him or his work redundant, unlike Cath?s ironing board covers etc. And tell me, do you think this ?panto? he?s been engaged in has added to or diminished the cause of gender politics? I?d say it?s given a lot of people the courage to be themselves, and for the world around them to accept them easier, in general. And in these days of identity, London needs to be acknowledged for what it is, and stand up for that, after all, it?s what the people of London voted for, so we can?t ignore the democratic process that got us there. If and when there?s a United London referendum, we?ll be able to flex that strength even more. Let the rest of the voters live amongst their own with pride. I know Kent and Medway towns voted overwhelmingly for the situation we?re in, so let those other join them and leave our great UL to thrive. I?d go as far as to reintroduce the single market and align with our friends in the EU on people movement etc. We?d be up and running in not time, shops stocked to the rafters, lorries galore. Onward, waving the flag. LONDON WE LOVE YOU ❤️

Catch Kitson is less busy these days She?s unfashionably pretty straight, maybe she?s your person to design the flag

😄 cheeky monkey No but seriously, I?ve tried to make this as apolitical as possible, but as you?ll see the alt-right Boris fan boy Brexiteer has posted after you, trying to drag Sadiq Khan into the narrative. That in itself is a slippery slope, given 59.9% of real Londoners voted to stay in the Brexit vote. Dogger and his ilk could along with others like him, could end up in the minority, and maybe even asked to leave/be repatriated with those likeminded patriots, outside of the new walls of London.

It?s about time isn?t it? London is effectively a country within a country and it?s about time it has its own flag. We could get Grayson Perry to design it, but what should it look like? It should be representative of all of us here in the great morass of London, those born here and immigrants alike. ( (I?m a London immigrant, having migrated up from Sussex) I?d be proud to fly our flag!

Some of those books might have value Foxy Have you looked them up?

In all honesty, I can?t think of ever not having a car.

Oh and ?.. Cancelled

Iconic It?s been killed to death that word, often because the said ?icon? turns out to be a deviant/wife beater/psycho and ultimately gets ?cancelled? in the process. Often rightly so tbf

This whole thing has been fulminating in the background, but there?s been a great deal of ?wilful blindness? going on, as it contradicted the wishful thinking of the Brexit lie. It?s mostly too late to do much about the slide we?re experiencing (remember it?s impossible to slide upwards) and given the will this government has shown to fcuk things up, I?m not holding my breath for it to improve for a very long time. ?Just get used to it? is the new U.K slogan

If guys like this are throwing in the towel, then the slide has just got way more slippery. And I know these people, they?re (or they were) one of my customers. 2 years ago I?d have put them in the ?due to expand into a group? box, easily. It?s going to be many a case of, not if, but how fast the industry hits the bottom. https://thecaterer.com/news/hang-fire-southern-kitchen-restaurant-closed-hospitality-staff-shortages Ffs?
