glasgow's grand ole opry still had confederate flags in its decor not too long ago (by which i mean, in the last decade, i think...). i've never quite understood the love of ersatz country in the west of scotland, but maybe it's strengthened by a special bond built on transatlantic racism

UPDATE: seemingly they not only still have confederate flags, they do some strange ceremony involving one

They end each dance with a ceremonial folding up of the confederate battle flag while playing Elvis's American Trilogy with everyone in a big circle with hands on hearts etc, then the gunfighters mark s mentioned blast a salute.
Used to go there a lot when I lived in Kinning Park. It's a great place.

I've even been part of the flag ceremony a few times. The exact way of folding the flag is entrusted to only the upper echelon. If you talk or laugh or don't show respect you get bawled out. They have a sacred cowboy hat they place it in at the end.
It's in a extremely working-class, economically depressed neighbourhood (somewhat improved recently I hear) and the clientele were poor, working class people of my parents generation. Drinks were dirt cheap and the music involved a lot of Tammy Wynette, Lena Martel and Neil Diamond. There is no thought given to what that flag represents other than that idealised America of the 50s- John Wayne, Brenda Lee and that kind of thing.

Someone should put Glasgow Grand Ole Opry confederate flag wankers in touch with some Cork GAA fans, could probably put a stop to it at both ends

Indeed, Grand Ole Opry lagging some way behind in the bigotry and hatred stakes.

I didn't know there was a Japanese band called イギリス人. One of their songs is "Sympathy for the Kebab", which is a fair title to capture the soul of my country. https://t.co/92qCCuB3rc— Mulboyne (@Mulboyne) February 18, 2018

maybe within 20 years the fetishisation of unhealthy peasant food from poor 2nd-world England will be looked down upon by Japanese polite society as some politically incorrect, inverted orientalism!

There is a hilarious scene in The Other Side of Hope where a hapless seafood restaurateur tries to re-brand the place as a Sushi Bar and a huge party of Japanese tourists turn up.
