The object of the exercise could have nothing to do with incongruity, for, if so, I might just as well have donned a bowler hat, a top hat or a jester\u2019s cap with bells on. Perhaps I wanted to court controversy among the thistles and the cow slips or rehearse for the main event, which is to strut my stuff through the centre of town dressed in Russian hat and wearing my Putin T-shirt. Don\u2019t forget your trousers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It, the hat, happened shortly after accidently watching UK news\u2019 latest coverage of that overinflated load of old codswallop the Eurovision Song Contest. The commentator, who was an Indian woman, was \u2018informing\u2019 the studio news anchor, who was a black woman, that many people were disappointed that Eurovision\u2019s organisers had decided not to give top billing to Mr Zelensky. Presumably, the plan had been not to parachute him in to join a stage full of second-rate performers but to feed him to us by videolink. What a treat that would have been: Ukraine\u2019s Mr Zelensky emblazoned across our screens yet again. I wonder had he not been rejected if he would have been wearing his signature pea-green T-shirt. Had it been a fashion show I am sure he\u2019d have won first prize. Let\u2019s thank our lucky stars that such technology as widescreen monitors was not around in Hitler\u2019s day: imagine the propaganda advantage at events like the Nuremberg rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In case you have forgotten, but how could you? Last year\u2019s winner of the Ukrainian-vision Song Contest was Ukraine. Now there\u2019s a surprise. But not as surprising as the statement issued this year, an official statement no less, that the Eurovision Song Contest is a strictly apolitical event, hence the spurning of Mr Zelensky. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">All well and good, except it wasn\u2019t. From that moment onwards, every other word on the telly and every second image relating to the contest had a Ukrainian slant and every colour was the colour of the Ukrainian flag. They even managed to conjure up a troupe of Ukrainian refugees, who swirled around in fancy dress whilst saying, \u2018It\u2019 [the contest venue and by default the UK] was so Ukraine-oriented that \u2018It\u2019 felt like a piece of Ukraine itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cHuh,\u201d someone snorted, the UK feels like anywhere else except England, so why not give a piece to Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">\u201cIt\u2019s all so peculiar,\u201d remarked our old friend and colleague, retired scientist, Dr Martin T. It was certainly that and more and so unfair to Mr Zelensky that in protest at one of the sickliest dollops of televised tripe for years, I took to the great outdoors ~ wearing my Russian hat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">By the way, if by some strange miracle Ukraine does not win this year\u2019s Ukroney Visible Song Contest, what\u2019s the chances of them coming second just behind Croatia. Apolitical event my arse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s that man in the Russian Hat!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">I suspect you may be thinking that wearing a Russian hat in the middle of the English countryside is not particularly brave of me. However, wearing a Russian hat in the middle of the English countryside does not necessarily preclude you from being noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" data-attachment-id=\"8935\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/its-that-man-in-the-russian-hat\/mick-russian-hat-church-house-min\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?fit=1260%2C945&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1260,945\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?fit=625%2C469&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=625%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mick Hart in Russian hat in the English countryside\" class=\"wp-image-8935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=624%2C468&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=24%2C18&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=36%2C27&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?resize=48%2C36&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Mick-Russian-Hat-Church-House-min.jpg?w=1260&amp;ssl=1 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">England, as you know, is critically overpopulated. Due to lax immigration laws, meaning bogus immigration laws, there are arguably more people to the square foot in the UK than anywhere else in the world ~ land mass considered. The situation is so dire that hotels in England now require that you share a room with an illegal immigrant ~ his mum, his brother and his auntie ~ and foot the bill for the whole caboodle. Taxes are on the rise; it must be Putin\u2019s fault!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Take the day, for example, when I went frolicking across the English countryside wearing my Russian hat. At a sly guess, I estimate that I must have spotted and been spotted by at least 10 people, all well-to-do middle class ladies, walking their dogs and their husbands, each done up to the nines in those cloning country clothes that they buy and which costs them an arm and a leg. (There are other bits to the clothes as well. They are not that unaffordable that you have to buy them in installments.) Even their dogs were wearing Barbour jackets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Not so much escaping from Johnny foreigner than from Innit Abdul and his boating chums, not only did these country folk, mainly from the city, have the right to be where they were by birth and by decree of cultural lineage, they were all to a man and a woman (no gender deviants here) of certified prime-beef middle-class stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Take note: The English middle-class are not just highly amusing in every which way imaginable, they are also extremely versed in the art of not concealing the fact that wherever they might meet you, in the countryside or anywhere else, they really would rather not. &nbsp;And should such a misfortune arise, which in a country as overcrowded as ours it is odds on favourite it will, they really, really and very much really would rather they did not acknowledge you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Fortunately, however (or not, depending on your point of view) common decency and civility have yet to be so completely destroyed by the age in which we live that a watery smile, nod of the head even perchance a forced \u2018good morning\u2019 are considered permissible exchanges before the two parties go hurrying past in opposite and opposing directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It is this inability of the English middle class, the inability to be natural, open and honest always and at any time, which might explain why no one recoiled in abject horror at the sight of my Russian hat. I cannot begin to tell you how disappointing it was that no one in a state of shock fell headlong into a ditch, in spite of there being around us some very deep ditches indeed, stepped backwards into a cowpat, went screaming hysterically across the fields or produced a Ukrainian flag, cunningly concealed about their person, and proceeded to wave it in front of my face as if it was a crucifix and I the evil count. (Incidentally, looking like a right count is an inherent problem for many British MPs.) It was all so disappointing. \u201cMorning!\u201d they muttered, through stiff upper lips and then full steam ahead, they were gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"625\" height=\"469\" data-attachment-id=\"8936\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/expatkaliningrad.com\/ru\/its-that-man-in-the-russian-hat\/russian-hat-union-jack-min\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?fit=1260%2C945&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1260,945\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Russian-Hat-Union-Jack\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?fit=625%2C469&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=625%2C469&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Russian Hat Mick Hart UK flag\" class=\"wp-image-8936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=16%2C12&amp;ssl=1 16w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=624%2C468&amp;ssl=1 624w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=24%2C18&amp;ssl=1 24w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=36%2C27&amp;ssl=1 36w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?resize=48%2C36&amp;ssl=1 48w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/expatkaliningrad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Russian-Hat-Union-Jack-min.jpg?w=1260&amp;ssl=1 1260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This resilience to reaction, this tightrope walk between thought and the spoken word, is indicative of the extent to which the English, particularly those who like to be thought of as ruralites, have slipped and missed the net. The war generation, real people with real values, have sadly faded away, leaving in its place an inferior gene pool of hand-me-downs, some browbeaten by political correctness and bottle fed on woke, others who read the <em>Daily Mail<\/em> and as a result spend their days in a perpetual state of inert fulmination, still labouring under the dangerous delusion that an Englishman\u2019s home is his castle rather than accept the truth that it is the last refuge of an endangered species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">In my grandparents\u2019 day, indeed in my parents\u2019 day, someone certainly would have asked, \u201cWhat are you doing in that Russian hat?\u201d Your average English country bumpkin, unschooled in the art and social science of snotty middle-class snobbism, would have certainly asked the question, and even in today\u2019s UK, with white middle-class flight gathering momentum from such horrible places as Londonistan as the third-world hoards romp freely in, every English village is still  able to boast at least one Village Idiot whose legacy role it is to ask important questions like \u2018What are you doing in that Russian hat?\u2019 even if the hat you are wearing is a Eurovision sponsored one adorned in the avatar colours of the ubiquitous Ukrainian flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A welcome in the hill sides!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Having failed dismally in the heart of the English countryside to elicit the faintest response to my Russian hat ~ a flock of sheep went \u2018mare\u2019, they must have been liberal lefties ~ I then decided to take my hat through the centre of the nearby village, stopping on the way to harangue people in their gardens as they mowed the lawn or dug up dandelions, but not one of those I encountered mentioned my Russian hat, perhaps because they were all pretending that they could not read Cyrillic, thought of me as a football hooligan or had jumped to the conclusion that I was one of those who had come ashore in an inflatable rubber dinghy, thanks to the village idiots who get paid a lot of money for falling asleep in the Palace of Westminster.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If this was phase 2 of Russian Hat in Provincial England, then phase 3 was Russian Hat in an English pub. Admittedly, the optimum pub to have tested the hat would have been The Three Tonnes in Biddenham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Biddenham is a small village once sequestered on the outskirts of Bedford which has in more recent years, like so many villages outlying towns, suffered the misfortune of having been swallowed up by a greedy backhander-facilitated urban sprawl. Nevertheless, judging by the type of houses and the toffee-nosed people who own them, imagining Biddenham as anything else than a bastion of British Conservatism is as difficult to grasp as a turd you might try to polish. And yet for all its aspirations to be a snooty upper-class English village, it has allowed itself to become a pole for flying Ukrainian flags. Biddenham is a prime example of the extent to which middle-England has been infiltrated by the snidey politics of erosive liberal left woke and the sabre-rattling inertia of those who live by the <em>Daily Mail<\/em> and who will no doubt eventually die of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">As such, Biddenham\u2019s Three Tonnes would have been the perfect pub in which to wear my lovely Russian hat.

Here, eyebrows were raised and inquisitive glances passed, but whether this was my hat at work or the photographs we were taking as we took it in turns to wear the hat, is a matter for conjecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The second pub was quieter than the first and the only reaction that we got in here, Russian hat or not, was the typical \u2018strangers in town\u2019 scenario. For a moment it rained excitement, but once everyone was satisfied that we posed no threat to man or beast and that we had not just rowed up the high street in a Royal Navy-assisted dinghy or jumped out of the back of a lorry from France, \u2018normal\u2019 service was quickly resumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Mind you, had the latter been suspected we might have been given a pint or two, plus free accommodation for as long as we didn\u2019t deserve it and for which we certainly would not be entitled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">On emerging from the pub after a thoroughly hard day\u2019s hat wearing, I commissioned this innocent photograph of me in my Russian hat looking peaceful, reposed and quite at home in the company of a traditional English phone box.
