With the Union Jack sofa, British bulldog, and Bud Flanaganesque Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner playing, this could be Nigel Farage's living room.  What are we to make of this iconography?  Is it "reclaiming" elements of Britishness; is it a yearning to enter the national cultural mainstream; or is it just a flaunting of symbols designed to annoy the older generations (one can imagine the disgust of Gary Younge or Benjamin Zephaniah)?
















"...a little bit of yards in me they shooting, no they recording me..." 

"...Niggas claim they in it for the long run but I leave them dead..."

"...Cops wanna pop us..."
