English Patriot or nutter?

Unless the British government concedes to the popular demands of the British and, in particular, the English people, to hold a referendum on the immediate withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the illegal and unlawful European Union, this writer, a Freeborn Englishman subject not to the laws of unelected parasitic elites in Brussels, will be dead by means of starvation in the name of a Free-Sate England within 60 days, probably less, for, being naturally skinny and having endured an uncompensated vaccine injury in 1993, I have always weighed less than 45 kilos (seven stone).

What is this bloke on about ?

He likes his country so much he hasn't lived here for 20 years

I think this quote answers your question :-

Michael James, an English republican patriot, is a blacklisted former freelance journalist resident in Zionist-occupied Germany since 1992 with additional long-haul stays in East Africa, Poland and Switzerland. He advocates a Leaderless Resistance to destroy the Soviet European Union and prays for a free and independent England, shorn of all alliances with the EU, UK, NATO, the UN, WTO, IMF, Israel and any other treacherous international cabal or entity.

So, the answer to your title question is very likely, "Yes."

Has he never heard of self-immolation? Far more likely to get widespread reporting in the press.

I'd be unhappy to hear of him being involuntarily detained on mental health grounds.

Nutter.

Definitely a nutter. I think he's probably a patriot as well, but his patriotism is every bit as nutty as he is.

Used to be a form of protest used by Buddhist monks back in the 1960s, protesting against the Vietnam? War and maybe some Tibetans protesting against the occupation of Tibet by China?

Anyway, these guys practised some serious meditation techniques, sat crosslegged somewhere very public, doused themselves in petrol and set light to themselves. Certainly gets your cause noticed. Ironic I can't now remember exactly which cause it was.

edit: they all died, I think.

I Googled, I may be ignorant but I'm not silly.

It might be more dramatic but far too fleeting even if a camera is present, most people don't remember why.

Starvation can get a movement going with daily pictures of the martyr slowly slipping away.

Yes he is a nutter, no doubt.

Most who claim the title "patriot" are a bit nutter, I think.

It had a respectable past. I'm thinking of how Tom Paine used it but I'm not sure of the exact words - but I just went and looked... "The duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government". Which is, to be fair, how Michael James is using it. Though he goes tits-up elsewhere in his article.

These nutters always seem to forget that there was a referendum on whether we should join in the first place. The bilk of the voting population - the war generation voted yes.

Real Patriots don't talk about it. They just step up when they are needed, do what needs to be done, and go back home.

All these self-inflated blowhard "patriots" we have in the US, these days, drive me nutters. Most of them are just lackeys for the corporate vampires.

At least this guy is willing to put his diet (and life) on the line for what he believes.

If he gets his way, I'll buy him a Quarter Pounder.

Dr Johnson once pointed out that patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. I think it's this sort of patriotism he was referring to, at least in part: By making his cause a patriotic issue, Jones implies that all who disagree with him are traitors. It's a technique commonly used by extremists at both ends of the political spectrum to discredit their opponents and make them liable to persecution - after all, traitors? Well, shooting's too good for them..

I suppose it makes your personal failure easier to bear if you can blame it not on yourself, but on a huge international evil organisation which is out to sabotage your every move.

You do realize the OED has that as definition #5 for "government", I hope.

chuckle.

I thought it was my ex-wife's family.

(That's unfair. They were very nice people. Really.
