God save the drag kings of England

The article describes the holding of drag king classes in England, in cities that voted predominantly in favour of Brexit. These classes are taking place in a specific type of English seaside town. The drag king phenomenon appears to be growing in these communities, although the article does not provide further details on the specific content of these classes. The text suggests an apparent contradiction between the presence of progressive cultural activities such as these and the political context of these localities. In the decade following Brexit, the far-right party Reform UK became a significant political force in these same areas that voted for leave. The article does not delve into the reasons for this coexistence between the growth of the radical right and the presence of alternative cultural activities in these towns.
