Social media experts are concerned that Admiral Nelson’s flag signal before The Battle of Trafalgar, “England Expects that Every Man will do his Duty”, was not only unclear but did not comply with inclusivity guidelines either.
"England Expects that Every Man will do his Duty"
Left wing woke commentators believe that ratings needed more clarity on what exactly their duty was and claim that Scottish crew members were particularly concerned suggesting that they should stay home instead.
Women’s groups and LGBT campaigners were also said to be deeply shocked by the underlying message in the signal although flag operators have advised that a rainbow pennant is planned but it won’t be available for 200 years.
There are also concerns that the “Get Trafalgar Done” message was being pursued at all costs and that the death of the Admiral highlighted a clear lack of PPE for front line staff.
Responding emotionally to the criticism after the victory over Admiral Brexite’s joint European fleet Nelson’s second in command Thomas Hardy revealed brave Horatio’s final words:
“.......Fucking nanny state...........fucking snow flake society...........Kismet Hardy.......”
