- and if you don't have the patience for literal Shakespearean prose, here's the gist: For want of a nail this is you, so fuck off with your narrowminded, privileged cruelty.

BTW like most overt racism, Evil May Day was a riot NOT of the privileged but of common, even lower-class people who, by the actually privileged, had been whipped into seeing their status as "not foreigners" as enough of a privilege to deny fellow human beings access to it.

History may not repeat but it certainly rhymes.
