UK far right target RNLI and a cricket team.
But call themselves "patriots".

What next? Target tea because it comes from India?

@peterbroks
Are they giving Chinese tea a free pass? What about coffee?

@peterbroks @AlisonW It they were *true* patriots they'd be funding research into GM versions of Camellia sinensis and Coffea arabica that can thrive in the UK's forecast late-21st century climate, i.e. hotter than it is now.

@peterbroks they probably think it comes from Yorkshire

@peterbroks @cstross

I think they should all be prohibited by law for drinking tea. It's not English.

@peterbroks Well there was the Brexiteer who lost it with Yorkshire Tea on Twitter back in 2018 upon finding out that their tea is blended for water in Yorkshire, not grown there...

@Remittancegirl @peterbroks They should eat only native English foods! Nettle soup and porridge oats, basically. (Everything else is filthy foreign imported muck, even if it can be convinced to grow here.)

@peterbroks Maybe St George? Or maybe they object to the arrival of Germanic tribes and want us in the south to speak a form of Welsh?

At least one of the Patriot Platform people in the Basingstoke training camp picture clearly used a Turkish barber, maybe they will close them too?

I will look forward to American hops being banned from beer.

@peterbroks Astérix suggests mint sauce.

@budley @peterbroks It’s already happened a few times in the past with several somewhat naive chaps getting upset on social media upon discovering that tea is not infact grown in Yorkshire.
