sangitamyska.bsky.social @sangitamyska.bsky.social · 05/05/2025George Orwell once wrote: "In England all the boasting & flag-wagging is done by small minorities. The patriotism of ordinary people is not vocal". So it begins…. #Reform 3323258
David Collier @davidacollier.bsky.social · 05/05/2025The flag police. Formerly known as free speech warriors. 0220
4017xan.bsky.social @4017xan.bsky.social · 05/05/2025What else are Reform councillors going to do at speed? Decree that people must dance around the municipal maypole on Shakespeare’s birthday? Anything that actually benefits the local population? 000
Syd Barhey Esq. FCA. #FBPE @barheys.bsky.social · 05/05/2025So indeed it begins. Goodness knows where it ends though Choruses of Jerusalem at cinemas ? Maybe they’ll replace the Muzak in shops with the national anthem on repeat ? Reintroduce national service for all 110
Richard @richardonbsky.bsky.social · 05/05/2025No doubt Reform UK Plc will defend this policy by saying it will reduce the amount of manpower required to keep running different flags up the flagpole. 🤔🤡🤡🤡 000

Sarah MW @sarahmw.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Uni of Western Australia did a study a few years ago finding that those who fly national flags on their cars tend to express more racist attitudes than those without flags. I wonder if this idea is more of the same. 000
Lacks the Necessary Aptitude. @theoccasionaltog.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Here boy, here boy. Performative dog whistling. Urgh. 010
Andy Buchan @andybuchan.bsky.social · 05/05/2025This is scary and looks to me like authoritarianism with a false label of patriotism to sanitise their rabid agenda. 000
Anthony McDonald @antmcd7.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Paying due taxes is more patriotic than waving a coloured piece of material 080
Adam @dotchin.bsky.social · 05/05/2025What is Nigel going to do with all his Hammer & Sickle flags? 020
Wendy Patrick @pieorama.bsky.social · 21/05/2025The only flag waver I’m fond of. Reform voters seem to be the most angry, joyless people. My patriotism only really comes out for TeamGB or England in the football/cricket etc. 000
Jon Hewlett @jonhewlett.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Well if they manage to form a minority administration in Cornwall I can see this going down REALLY well 🙄👀🤦♂️media.tenor.coma black and white flag with a cross on it is flying in the windALT: a black and white flag with a cross on it is flying in the wind 030
Don’t Run With Scissors @bsky-sam.bsky.social · 05/05/2025You’d think such ‘patriots’ would know it’s the Union Flag and not Union Jack, unless they plan to put a ship underneath. 010
Chris Westhead @chriswesthead.bsky.social · 05/05/2025People's confusion between nationalism and patriotism is the crux if many current ills. Many are reluctant to display patriotism in fear of being labelled aggressive nationalists, like Reform who use flags as weaponry. 020
David McCulloch @photodave.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Surprised Deform don't promote the nazi flag, the Russian flag and the star spangled banner. These flag-shaggers are the least patriotic people in the country. They would take your human rights and our NHS, while voting against workers' rights. 000
georgesson.bsky.social @georgesson.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Reform bans County flags from County Council buildings. BTW "jacks"are flown on ships. 050
John Hull @johnhull.bsky.social · 05/05/2025What about this one? You see, as soon as you start to impose limits, you have to think it all the way through. 0100
Paul Russell @pwrussell.bsky.social · 05/05/2025If anyone show me one single example, anywhere of big flags improving people’s quality of life, I’ll give this a big cheer. 020
Kev Moore @kevmoore.bsky.social · 06/05/2025I’m interested to see how that’s going to ‘fly’ in Cornwall! 160
Not Very Good Guy @nvgg.online · 05/05/2025It's pathetic. I used to be impressed that other countries felt the need to wave their flags but the British had no need for such vulgar display. 000
agr25.bsky.social @agr25.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Mr Yusuf, proceed with caution, I would bet my life that many of the people you think are your friends will not see you as one of them. 010
Vim Fuego @2000manbelfast.bsky.social · 05/05/2025Reform. Bringing Northern Irish division to a council near you. Good luck 030
Darren Wheeler | Drinking tea @darrenwheeler.bsky.social · 05/05/2025In the words of Terry Pratchett: ‘Tom?’ 'Yes, Clive?’ 'Have you ever sung the national anthem?’ 'Oh, lots of times, sir.’ 'I don’t mean officially.’ 'You mean just to show I’m patriotic? Good gods, no. That would be a rather odd thing to do,’ said the captain. 1/4 110
GreyWildWolf 🏳️🌈🌱 @greywildwolf.bsky.social · 05/05/2025The erasure and dehumanisation of LGBTQ+ people continues, hell, just of any non-white minority. All the while Keir encourages it through his silence. 010
John Wright @johnwright1.bsky.social · 05/05/2025And any councillors who vote against such a resolution will be branded unpatriotic 010
EarthCitizen @smartermind.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Yes, but I bet there will be one notable exception for a certain blue and white flag of a certain apartheid, genocidal, nuclear armed, colonialist regime. 020
Beds_Babe @bedsbabe.bsky.social · 05/05/2025What about the many Commonwealth flags that include the Union Jack are they included? Farage does love harping back to Empire that should meet with his approval, right? 140
Greg Finney @unlimitedbiscuits.bsky.social · 05/05/2025He's had the headline. His goal achieved. He cares not for any reality that ensues. 020
