    "Only Britain soldiers on."
    I just wanted, ACTUALLY, to legitimately thank you for uploading this. I happened to be searching for this exact scene... and just... thank you. Just thank you.

      It gives a weird/guilty buzz, and all the more so when we see St James's Park, and most of all wgen we see what Battersea Power Station is being used for. But the overriding concept of no kids is stunning...

      @@user-jt5vm3mi1w Because the portrayed UK regime is a dictatorship (though the terrorists are worse and though the country is still the desired destination of millions of refugees). And that dictatorship has now decided it represents a better and safer final home for great works of art (like "Guernica"). A true Brit cannot quite resist a thrill at reading "Only Britain soldiers on" as basically it just restates "keep calm and carry on", our core mantra. And in central London there is that core zone where the new version of Britain (including zebras as pets!) maintains some elements of what we know (like Changing the Guard). After the events of 2022, the impact is even stronger. But still the Britain that soldiers on there is a deeply-flawed version, when faced with complete collapse elsewhere. It's moving... and not so far off!
