This flying of flags malarkey

[gonzo]

I did find the thing about painting St Georges crosses in to pot holes so they get filled in quite amusing.

Farage is just using this to skirt British Law which prohibits Political Parties from having official uniforms, because like all good fascists, he wants his supporters to wear uniforms. Quite clever really. It's also another way to mimic Trump and his daft red MAGA hats.

My problem is not that Reform is more National than the Conservatives, nor that they are more Socialist than Labour, but that they are a combination of the two.

Personally, I find the whole flag flying thing a bit odd. I do think they look OK when on a Government building, or on a flag pole in a town centre (my local town centre usually has a Union Jack, next to the war memorial). It just looks a bit odd when in the middle of some scutter council estate.

The whole hanging of Ukraine and Palestine flags, here in the UK, I find very weird, especially if the people flying them aren't even from those places.

I liked the Ukrainian solidarity flags. Would have been good for any of those who fled across here see them dotted about. Actually quite a nice flag as well 🇺🇦

This tourist tax business is an interesting  one. I’ve been for the first time in Madeira but it was €56 euro for 4 of us. My brother said he was done for £500 for 4 days in New York. Not sure if everyone is doing it (Germany bake in the hotel price) we should look to reciprocate if so.

Greece do it 

i think 10 Euro a night for a Four Star 

15 Euro a Night for a Five star 

pay the Hotel when you get there

No but we both know someone that does.

And I'll let you tell him it's a bit silly

Does taking a beach towel to work, along with a trifle, constitute flying a flag?

Nah no one would be like those Pakistani folk and celebrate being from another country than the one they've emigrated to.

A load of lamp posts in Horwich now have England flags flying from them.

They're all at half mast though, I'm not sure if that's deliberate. But it looks a bit like the King died.

Same in Radcliffe obviously flags haven't come with decent sized ladders

A moth-eaten flag n a worm ridden pole

It does not seem likely to stir a man's soul

Tis the deeds that were done 'neath the moth-eaten rag

when the pole was a staff , and the flag was a rag!

[Spider]

Apparently 5 dinghies turned back today when they saw all the flags.

They just look so naff. TEMU style flags that will be green in a fortnight 

[bolton_blondie]

I was at a patients house the other day and saw this monstrosity close by. If I was them I’d be more concerned about the nicotine stained blinds than making Britain great again.

You need to remove your red tinged Labour spectacles pal.
