There are now more foodbanks than McDonalds in the UK. More than 70% of families experiencing child poverty are in work. Wages continue to stagnate against the cost of living and house prices. Charity is holding up a huge proportion of people in the 6th richest global economy. International charities like Unicef now need to intervene, indeed the UN has judged the impact of austerity policies in our country to constitute a human rights abuse.

And yet our "leaders" have to be dragged kicking and screaming to provide meagre food support for these hungry children while splurging millions upon millions of £££ on crooked contracts and nuclear weapons, while parading the Union Jack and the Royal Family in front of us as some kind of magic bullet to wave away real criticism or any notion of systemic change.

It's time to forge a new, wholesome version of patriotism. Where we actually empower ordinary people, and point our fingers not at struggling families (of all backgrounds), but at the unaccountable billionaire elites.

It's time to end the Union Jack's association with ignorant jingoism and misty-eyed fondness for an easily exploitable notion of "Britishness".

Welcome to our Unicef Kingdom. God, you know that something's got to change.
