I'm Lavinia Simpson. I'm in a Bloods rock band. I'm the lead singer though I also play guitar as well. We do thrash stadium rock, and I get to do all the lead vocals, wear wrecked, skimpy garms and let myself go, let the spirit of God possess me and fling my limbs all over while the bass guitar rocks out and the drummer smashes the high hats and we juice the crowd, get the chants going in the Lord's name, in the Bloods name, praising our Holy works. It goes like a fire on concert nights, sweat pouring off me, people tugging at my feet, my legs, wanting to feel me, feel the Holy Spirit that has taken over me, making me tingle all over. Rocking out. I've saved loads of lives with God's music, there's been so many Converted at our concerts. I'm a singer in a Blood's rock band. //Divine Feedback// we're called. Listen out for us. We're on all the God channels. Rock out with the Bloods.

Hiya. I'm Nikki Flood. I grew up on a farm and I've always driven. Tractors and grass cutters and fork-lifts and cranes. And now with the Bloods I get to drive wagons. Sometimes its hay, sometimes cabbages or kale, sometimes it’s humans, though with humans it's only a short distance because of heath and safety, and compassion. I saw a couple of tanks go past and I asked, I said, let me drive one of them, I bet I can, I've driven everything. They said yes though only after I’ve done the training. Imagine it. Me, driving a tank. That's what I like about the Bloods, they're open-minded, and you get promoted fast. They're already calling me Tank Girl even though I've not actually driven one yet. I can’t wait!

Jordan Hale, speaking my truth.
My name is Jordan Hale. I was lost. Truth. I had no friends. Truth. I had a bereavement that even now I don’t like to talk about. I spent nights thinking, how could I kill myself without causing people I loved too much trouble. I had many dark nights. Dark as sin. Truth. Then along came the Bloods. Yes. They spoke to me about my rich white heritage. Yes. About Albion, and about Marah's Second Coming. Yes. Along came the Bloods. I was dead and they revived me. They showed me I could be part of a gleaming white future. They told me about the prophecies written in Revelations, and about the divine light that would shine down on me, shine down on us all, if only we accepted the Blood's Way, their truth and their holy light. Now I walk with a smile. Now joy radiates from my eyes. Now I kill others and don't ever think about killing myself. Now I sleep soundly and wake up refreshed. I owe this to the Bloods. They transformed my life. Let them transform yours. What's holding you back? Join us, and let's make it glorious morning again in fair England.

I didn't like the Bloods at first. There. I've said it. They were smelly. They wore stupid clothes. They went out at night in the wind and rain and came back looking like skip rats. I didn't get it. They hated black people, all people of colour, and queers. I so didn't get it. Then one day I simply surrendered. I stopped fighting it and let them show me. I liked what I saw. Does it matter who's in charge of the world so long as the world is organised in a beautiful way? Nobody's hungry. Everybody - high or low - has a job to do. And the marches across fields in the night are only for those who want to do that. You can also serve by cooking, cleaning, training dogs and horses and building bombs and carrying them. I guess I haven’t changed. I still like keeping warm and dry. Surrendering to the Bloods was the best thing I ever did. The Bloods treat me well. Like I'm one of them. Because I am one of them. Join us.

When I lost the why of my life, I couldn't any longer figure out the how. I stayed in bed knitting worries till I had one long scarf of worries that I wrapped round me. Climate emergency. Cruelty to animals. Chemicals in the water supply. Over-population. Immigration. Nuclear war. Strike by meteorite. The dinosaurs coming back. Yes, I even worried about that. There seemed no rhyme or reason to why I was on this earth. The bloods gave me reason. And slowly my heart began to rhyme again with the hearts of other Bloods. I found new friends who unpicked my worries and knitted me an amazing cloak of faith. In my wildest dreams I wouldn't have felt it possible to be loved as much as I am loved by the Bloods. We are not about just shooting and killing and blowing things up. We try to avoid that. We are building a new world. For the brave and the beautiful and the true. I know you're thinking of joining us. I'll keep a seat here right by my side, just for you.

I gave up football for the Bloods. I was playing for Arsenal Under 16s when the wars started. Dad said stick with them, whoever wins the wars, Arsenal FC will still need players. But I owed it to the Bloods to help out and I joined them. I still play football. Every so often we have a Bloods v Bloods five-a-side match. Once we played the Underground. For real. They'd pinned us down with rifles and we'd pinned them down with snipers. We kicked a ball over to their side, a drop kick into their courtyard. Then, whoosh, they kicked it back through a gap in our barricades. So we kicked it again into the courtyard. It was like a game of Target Practice. They had to shoot it through our barricade, we had to land it in their courtyard. Once, when they missed, we let them crawl into no-man’s land, get the ball back and try again. Then another of our units sneaked round the back of them and machine-gunned them. It was a good game while it lasted though. And I know one day I'll be playing for Arsenal FC. Come on you Reds!

I threw all mum's gods in the river. I loved them but they were old-fashioned and I wanted to have a future not a past. Now I'm made up. The Bloods religion is dead simple. There is only one God to worship. Then there's Mary the Mother of Jesus who is coming back again, being reincarnated, and when she comes back, she’s going to change the world. Because she's going to give birth to the second baby Jesus. Then the cycle of birth and rebirth will end and all Holy Believers will be saved. And I'm one of them. Until Mary arrives for the second time, we have to keep busy preparing by making sure as many people as possible know the Good News that she's coming back, and to try to save the Unbelievers from hell by converting them. My mum's gods are in the water being baptised as Christians. Get baptised too, get converted and be Saved like me.

Go outside. If it's a clear sky at night and you're not in the city, go outside. Look up. You might see the moon up there but look further. All the stars. They've been there since long before we were born, and they'll be there long after we're dead. Were only here a short while. If we human beings as a species want to survive - if we want to become as perfect as those stars above us - then we have to start now, perfecting things. We have to let go of things that don't work. Of people that don't work. That's how human beings as a species can perfect itself. By cleaning up the earth, purifying the gene pool, choosing to live under the right civilisation. It takes effort. Nothing good is ever easy, the Bloods say. It takes sweat, tears and blood. With effort, we can reach the stars. Join the Bloods. Give blood. Make an effort. And we'll reach the stars. That's the Blood's promise. There'll be no stopping us. Watch. We'll reach the heavenly sky.

Us. Them. No blurring. Blurring is what causes all the trouble. Keep it simple. Us. Them. If you look like a Them, you have to produce a Certificate to prove you're an Us. If the Certificate looks dodgy, for instance it looks forged, then you go before a judge and they decide. You can give evidence, parents, interviews, what you like to eat or drink, how you talk, what you know, photos. Anything really. But the judge decides. And if you're an Us, then Hallelujah Joy, welcome back, we are the most warm and lovely people you can ever meet, and we have popcorn and film nights.

‘Do you get to do the do, if you join the Bloods?’ Someone actually asked me that. I said the chances of getting to do the do are the same inside the Bloods as outside but that's not why people join the Bloods. Is it? The sexes are not separated so we train together, go on hunts together, and strong bonds can happen from rescuing each other when under fire or you carry someone across a field. But the tents are single sex so there's no sharing sleeping bags or anything like that. The bloods are not about pleasure. We're about sacrifice and discipline and doing things properly. Learning the drill and doing it again and again - the drill - till it comes naturally. Can you strip down a gun and build it back up again, blindfold? Can you light a fire in a howling gale? Can you cut the tags off someone and bury them in a ditch so dogs don't dig them up? Can you make soup from wild vegetables and navigate using the stars? Can you swallow a pill if captured? Can you whistle in the face of death? Things that are a bit more important than doing the do. Right?

I own a big castle in the county of Wessex. Well, my dad does, and his dad did before him and his dad before... you get the idea. We're English through and through and we can trace our family tree all the way back to the Domesday Book. Our family has been in charge of the country - as Sheriffs and colonels and knights and commanders and ministers and tax collectors and colonial governors and landowners and Admirals and, ah! - for fourteen generations. People say the Bloods is a revolution. It isn't. The Bloods is a restoration. It's England going back to what it's always been, what it was always supposed to be, and what it will always be from now on. The Bloods are using our castle as a prison, and defeated rebels are being shot and buried in our fields. Like in the old times. English soil has become English once more. Our family motto is carpe diem. Seize the day. That what the Bloods are doing now. I welcome them. As one true Englishman welcomes another. I salute you, Bloods. Carry on.

If you like singing, dancing, shooting or bell-ringing then you'll like Bloods. In the Bloods Brigade they teach you fishing. How to catch rabbits. How to tell what time it is by looking at the sun. What animals are edible and what animals are not. How to test if someone's properly surrendered or if they're only trying to fool you. How to cut a neck. The best way to float down a river. What lies to report your parents for and what lies don't matter. And songs. Loads of songs. Songs for staying awake and songs for going to sleep. And the bells. All the bells in all the churches across the country are rung by us, the Bloods Brigade. Imagine it. Every bell. In every town. Ringing with the Bloods’ playlist. England Merry England. Gods Green Green Country. All Things White And Beautiful. We do beatbox versions too on Club Nights. It's fun. Its wild. It's been the mostest laughs I've ever ever had. We're the Bloods and we know how to party. High five!

Power is never given. It has to be taken. Freedom does not fall out of the sky. It has to be fought for, sometimes street by street, house by house. The Resistance Force is for the brave but not the foolish. We have mortars, grenades, guns, and we use them regularly. That means there’s a lot of responsibility. We can’t get drunk or drugged. We have to stay fit and rested. We have to be ready for a call-up at 3am. You will make friends with us. And some of us will die. We live by the sword and die the same way. This work is not for the weak-hearted. We are disciplined. And we are dreaded by the Bloods. We are the Underground’s iron fist.

One of the Underground fighters sometimes becomes Wanted or even Hunted. The Bloods are sending out search parties to find them and kill them. What the Underground Railroad does is we smuggle them out of the hotspot to safety. We have a web of safe houses, hiding holes and bunkers, sometimes buried containers. We specialise in disguises, fast clothing swaps, concealed spaces in cars, vans and transport. We’ve smuggled over a hundred people to safety across England. And we’ve only ever lost ten. It takes a cool head, good time-keeping, being highly organised, trustworthy and inventive. All the disguises and cover stories I’ve made up could fill a book. They will fill a book one day. The pay is lousy. But when you get a little girl and her big sister out of danger and they collapse into your arms hugging your legs saying thankyou, you blink back the tears and .. well that’s the only reward you need.

I’ve got a minor lisp and the Bloods, especially when they’re drunk, like to get me to say things I can’t say easily. Like film. The word film. They tease me. I don't mind, I can take it. They see me as a harmless idiot. But when they’re talking, I’m listening. And if the big Bloods army leaders come in, I put a bug under the table and record. These bugs look like dead flies so no-one can tell, even if they feel under the table and find it. The main thing is in this role you have to like people, or be able to get on with lots of different people. And have a job where you get close to important Bloods information. The Bloods love to brag and boast when they drink. Makes my job easy. I don’t even get scared any more.

The main reason why I can do this job is I’m not squeamish. The sight of blood thickening around a body in the sun doesn’t faze me. Or someone standing there holding their intestines in a hand, trying to push it all back into their stomach, is fine, I can still chat to them about the weather or the latest Zaleski Beats release. Some days there’s nothing you can do and you just go around picking up limbs. Sure, my pulse races when I’m sent to a scene. But when I arrive, the logical side of me takes over. There’s a lot of training. But it’s highly rewarding when you save someone’s life. You feel proud. You think, //right, today I made a difference.//

[[Join the Underground]]<div class="faders">We're The Twins. We do drone spotting and air surveillance. How are your eyes?

Twin 1: What we mostly do is gaze at the skies. Hard work, right?
Twin 2: Very. We have equipment for it. Monoculours. Binoculars. Scopes...
Twin 1: ...zoom mics, craft recognition apps.
Twin 2: Yep. We can hold up our phones to the sky and it will tell us what plane is crossing, right down to how much wear on the tyres...
Twin 1: ...if it's a clear sky. We’re listening to the airwaves at the same time. Headphones job. Pilot chatter. Co-ordinates. Threat levels.
Twin 2: You have to be good at maths. Good spatial orientation to know where things are going in the sky, where they've come from - vectors, matrices, arrays.
Twin 1: Spot patterns.
Twin 2: Yes, pattern recognition.
Twin 1: Good eyes, good ears.
Twine 2: And patience.
Twin 1: And concentration.
Twin 2: And memory for all the drone and plane shapes.
Twin 1: And it helps if you like astronomy. You stare at the night sky so long you get to know all the stars.
Twin 2: You see comets, falling stars, falling planes, stealth drones.
Twin 1: It’s great when you phone a drone in and it gets smashed out of the sky.
Twin 2: Yes, that feels good.
Twin 1: Mainly we gaze at the sky.
Twin 2: Though sometimes you can stare too long.
And when you do that things start to disappear.</div>
But you know the drones are still up there. Out there.
