As recent years have witnessed the rise of far-right nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment, After The March You Go Home And Sit With The Perfect Crisis responds to the growing hostility toward immigrants and to far-right demonstrations such as the 2025 Unite the Kingdom marches.

 

The Union Jack, repeatedly displayed at these events, has come to signify more than national identity; it has increasingly become an unsettling symbol of exclusion and intimidation.

 

Entangled in a pile of pigeon spikes—one of the most commonly seen objects across the UK—the flag becomes a metaphor for the nation itself, suspended in a state of uncertainty: dressed-up fascism; falsely targeted hatred; embarrased, helpless and lost.
