Obviously they have learned this rhetoric from their US funders/advisors/inspirations, however it serves a purpose in the UK too: British = White = Christian, and must be defended by the militaristic Hetero-male. Thus, people who don’t fit those categories don’t count as British.
Also should go without saying that:
a) it’s not even close to a reading of jesus’s actual love-thy-neighbour, Samaritans-are-welcome-here message. Sadly, it is close to some of the Church’s historical positions as pro-imperialist, apologists for slavery.
b) Although Liverpool has a smattering of scumbags like any other place, it is also the city with europe’s oldest black community, oldest Chinese community, long established Jewish, Muslim and other religious communities, is as much an Irish as a British city and hopefully won’t stand for this nonsense. #lfc #ynwa #noborders #antifascism #antiracism
