A flag that is zip-tied to a pole by a man who cannot stand his own ground is a hollow rag.

To the man with the binoculars, the migrant is a distant threat to be monitored and repelled—a 'crisis' on the horizon. Yet, the moment he feels a pang of hunger, that same migrant becomes an essential, invisible cog in his daily life. There is a profound irony in using the vantage point of 'coastal defence' to track a boat, only to turn around and accept a pizza from a delivery rider who likely shares the same origin, language, or journey as those being watched through the lens. It reveals a modern 'patriotism' that is loud about sovereignty but quiet about its own dependence on the cheap, precarious labour of the gig economy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Nanum Pen Script;">Follow my cartoons on</span></div><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="http://instagram.com/northmantoon"><span style="font-family: Nanum Pen Script;">instagram.com/northmantoon</span></a></div><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="http://cara.app/captainkirt"><span style="font-family: Nanum Pen Script;">cara.app/captainkirt</span></a></div><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><a href="http://threads.net/CaptainKirt"><span style="font-family: Nanum Pen Script;">threads.net/CaptainKirt</span></a></div><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Nanum Pen Script;"><a href="http://bsky.app/profile/northman.kirt.me.uk"><span>bsky.app/profile/n</span>orthman.kirt.me.uk</a></span></div><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Nanum Pen Script;"><a href="http://facebook.com/kirt-toons">facebook.com/kirt-toons</a></span></div><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Nanum Pen Script;">and&nbsp;<a href="http://tiktok.com/@captainkirt">tiktok.com/@captainkirt</a>&nbsp;(taking a hiatus)</span></div><div style="font-family: &quot;Special Elite&quot;; font-size: large; text-align: center;"><div></div><div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLfPp_1H5l3WUEBZ5sLt-VGO4xoBFR4dG9bZP9RIXqN7YW2UyRyTwpznzf3PK1YnWTjPnLa1WJ29jS3-8aqPEWlIPpm5XDyWqWfihR-lfA6JDFNk_FsHwZ8O_80AV2CDK2LbdB7ao3ewDXIqOb1b0ZeSX0egLw_U5VeFHzz5vhSzudSl_pHctsSaE-sxao/s1752/Illustration2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1752" data-original-width="1752" height="59" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLfPp_1H5l3WUEBZ5sLt-VGO4xoBFR4dG9bZP9RIXqN7YW2UyRyTwpznzf3PK1YnWTjPnLa1WJ29jS3-8aqPEWlIPpm5XDyWqWfihR-lfA6JDFNk_FsHwZ8O_80AV2CDK2LbdB7ao3ewDXIqOb1b0ZeSX0egLw_U5VeFHzz5vhSzudSl_pHctsSaE-sxao/w59-h59/Illustration2.png" width="59" /></a></div></div></div></div>https://northman.kirt.me.uk/2026/03/338-patriot-pt1.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (CaptainKirt)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654645497601313358.post-6795647457998011504Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:30:00 +00002026-03-10T09:30:00.147+00:00cafeCycling<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7EBARiDQTcin0jllBaPcV6Eg2g3s9oSf_P0MN-TW-JATYCSlTmcTl18-Cxfz3oFN-eBwCDk-yOy9p64qgbV6Bq1ONrTV2w_Ax7ADOT_guQrvFyTw0K2mBlzywEwm37nletDnxG4l1M2xBkLasN3EobKN77hOrNrJwvwDrzROG52TIF44CvtN5QuZ2jwZ/s2400/337promo.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2398" data-original-width="2400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_7EBARiDQTcin0jllBaPcV6Eg2g3s9oSf_P0MN-TW-JATYCSlTmcTl18-Cxfz3oFN-eBwCDk-yOy9p64qgbV6Bq1ONrTV2w_Ax7ADOT_guQrvFyTw0K2mBlzywEwm37nletDnxG4l1M2xBkLasN3EobKN77hOrNrJwvwDrzROG52TIF44CvtN5QuZ2jwZ/s320/337promo.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Special Elite; font-size: large;">The "E" in E-bike doesn't stand for what he thinks it does.
