Bloody hell this is good. Maybe it's because I'm also a mutant who was made to feel unwanted and unwelcome in the UK very recently, but yeah, Captain Britain fighting for a Britain that is not defined by hatred, bigotry, rampant nationalism and xenophobia hits hard.

I don't know for sure that Tini Howard is speaking to the nastiness of a post-Brexit "TERF island", but I can't imagine she's making these statements and these plots in 2021/2022 by accident. And I love her for it.

Because Betsy is fighting for the Britain I love. The one I moved halfway around the world to be a part of. And the one I watched slowly slip away and turn to hate and fear of me and mine. I wish I still had the hope irl that Howard has given me in the pages of Excalibur that things can change, that the UK can overcome this and that the country is more than its hateful leaders and vocal bigots. Where's the Captain Britain of Earth-1218 when we need her? ( )
