"Reform Limited hates diversity. Councils under its control now have a choice only of 2 flags - the flag of England and the flag of the United Kingdom. I wonder if any of their extremist serving as councillors will now object to licence applications for Pride events." It’s very possible that they might try to, but there will be legal challenges, which the councils will lose, if they do. I’ve never been happy with councils flying rainbow flags, they can be divisive, and councils should avoid that. | |||

Not so sure that the Ukraine flag should be flown from council buildings. Whitehall is a different matter. | |||

I may have some views which you on the far-left, and some contributors here from the far-right, find unpalatable but that is me. I can often see both sides of an argument even if I don't agree.

A certain Scottish football clubs supporters use it in an obviously provocative way. It flies on Council buildings alongside the Saltire and, as long as Scotland is part of the UK I have no problem with that. Less importantly perphaps is it's use on, for instance, bags of tatties in some supermarkets where the origin of said spuds are Angus or Perthshire, etc. Saltire on Scottish goods and St George on English,etc. I don't understand why the people of England wouldn't prefer the English flag, rather than the Union flag. Be proud of the country of origin. I Seeing goods displaying the English flag on English goods wouldn't stop me purchasing it but the Apron on Scottish goods does! | |||

But just like UKIP and the Brexit Party before it, Reform Ltd attracts characters whose attitudes are on the extremes of society. I do not think we will have long to wait before their new councillors show their true colours. | |||

"Public buildings should only fly Union flag or the country flag. Why? " Because public buildings should be neutral. Displaying a Rainbow flag, Ukraine flag etc etc is bound to annoy some. Unfortunate but a fact of life. Even the mildest mannered people take offence when something is 'shoved in their face'. Display them on you private house or garden by all means. Even then there is always a danger that some passing yob is going to scream 'Queer bastard' at you or worse scenario lob a brick through your window. Sadly such things happen. Better to opt for a peaceful non-controversial life. | |||

The knuckledraggers will still come up with some excuse as to how their dear leader has done this out of compassion and love for a flag he'd use to wipe his arse | |||

"I’ve never been happy with councils flying rainbow flags, they can be divisive, and councils should avoid that." Isn’t the rainbow flag trying to avoid that, as an act of equality, and a gesture of solidarity? Surely it should be flown more, everywhere in society that interacts with the public? | |||

Nobody has an actual problem with them. They make it up to fit in with the echo chamber they live in and convince themselves it's their own opinion. It's like those magats in america, they don't actually believe the crap they spout, you can tell that any time they are challenged on anything. | |||

"The Union Flag or the flags of the constituent nations, are flown above government buildings, council buildings etc to show what they are. How many people look up and see a flag I wonder? Perhaps they might if there is a whole range of flags to catch the eye. However I don't see the point. Does a rainbow flag flying from a town hall say "this is an LGBT friendly town. Feel free to walk down the street holding your same-sex partner's hand or wear a dress if you are a bloke who wishes to be a girl". Does the Ukraine flag tell you that this is a Ukraine friendly town and everyone id solidly behind the Ukraine war effort? A lot of the time it is a bit meaningless. Just an individual statement by a group of councillors or council officials. Just stick to national flags" Or maybe we just don't pander to a bunch of outdated imbeciles who want it back like the 70's when things were good, as long as of course they can retain their modern technology so they can fuck eachother up the arse and not be imprisoned. The hypocrisy of these knuckledragging morons is beyond comprehension. They just live in their angry little echo chambers, listening to the same crap everyday and nodding and agreeing with themselves. They still think this is a victory but when it affects them, as it will, then they will be the first to complain. Much like the magats in the states are finding out | |||

"I don’t support or wish to defend reform. But it’s things like flying rainbow/Palestinian/Ukrainian flags on council buildings that is driving many people into the reform fold. When councils tell their constituents that they have no money for essential services, so the council tax has to go up as high as possible. Then in the next breath they are having meetings regarding pride flags or supporting Gaza, then people get pissed off and look for alternatives. To be fair Farage hasn’t got to do very much, the Labour and Conservative parties are already doing more than enough to help him." Well said. | |||

Just look at the responses. Most, not all, supporters of herr farage and his band of nazis all concentrate on pathetic things like flag, talk about kids using litter trays in schools and brown people. All of which is a distraction from the real issues and they happily lap it up. I am of the opinion that we should have no majority party. It does not represent the country. We should only have coalition power amongst all the parties, that way each and every person is represented. Will it mean that everyone gets what they want? No, but representation is key. I'm also a centrist, not a lefty or a righty. | |||

"Council and government buildings should only fly the union flag. What anyone flys at home is up to them. It not racist it's not anti anything. We should all unite under the union flag it's about being British no matter what your sexuality or color or race or religion. Union flag is British and it's stands for being British every thing else is your own decision. " What a load of fake patriotism. So protective of the Union Jack yet what about county flags? Counties across england like to show their individualism and the people in those counties are proud of their flag. Why is that discounted because a bunch of fake patriots who are fully willing to destroy the reputation of the country they supposedly love, spit in the face of our veterans and everything they stood and died for, all for the sake of spiting a marginalised group because it makes them feel better! This is classic of reform voters and their beliefs. Hyperfocus on meaningless tasks whilst the bug stuff doesn't matter to them. | |||

They never notice the hypocrisy of their lunacy. Just the echos from their chambers | |||

"I am not racist , homophonic etc etc I think public buildings should only fly the Union Flag or Scot’s, Welsh flag. The flying of other flags unless specific days such as pride on the day The posting of Ukraine Flag is showing support for one side in a conflict and automatically alienates the other side.I don’t believe that flying that flag does anything positive , it’s just pandering to a political ideal. It is the failings of the Conservative and Labour parties in not delivering on those promises they make in manifesto to win elections. That is why people protest vote for more right of centre parties The country needs a strong leader with the following to create effective government The money is running out , then get ready! " But why? Why does it offend flying flags alongside other flags? The UJ and national flag is always flown together and the addition of others is inclusive. The Ukrainian flag represents not just the current situation, but also the sacrifice of the Ukrainians (2 million of them) during WW2. Who gives a flying fuck if we offend russia? They'd castrate you as quickly as kill you for being gay. If you support them, then I'm afraid a little offence is the least you can take. I fear the real reason for peoples disingenuous voting practices are not because of policy decisions but because of a deep seated underlying hatred of anyone different to them. Otherwise, reform would have a different approach. They wouldn't emphasise boat people. They wouldn't emphasise faux patriotism, they wouldn't want to damage and cut down their own population. Add that to peoples new found need for instantaneous gratification thanks to social media. You may not feel racist or homophobic (would be hard to be while trying to meet other men to use their cocks) but if you support reform, you support those who are. It's not difficult to understand. | |||

" I obvious answer is that council and government buildings should be neutral. Fly the Union Flag and the Welsh, Scottish, Northern Ireland, Cornish flags by all means. They represent the country not any group. Let's face it the LGBT+++++ flag represents a maximum of 10% of the population and even some of us are embarrassed by, and feel no affinity with, these endless additional letters. Would you be happy if the new Reform controlled councils flew a flag depicting the Reform emblem [whatever it is] or even worse a flag with frog face Fuhrage's grinning mug on it? If firms want to display flags from their premises or individuals from there homes, then fine. But not public buildings. Incidentally there is a big difference between patriotism and nationalism. Anyone can be patriotic irrespective of their other views. Nationalists tend to be insular and a bit small-minded. | |||

Always flown flags of different nations, counties and colours through history. It just seems like a rainbow is a step too far for some. The problem with patriotism is that in its definition it should be pride of your country and EVERYONE in it. Faux patriotism is cherry picking the bits you like. I will agree with the nationalist statement, they are as described. | |||

"Reform Ltd announces councils under its control will not be permitted to fly the rainbow flag in support of Pride events in their area. Mimicing Trump's America. Not defending Reform but it will only be banned on council buildings where only the Union Flag, English, Scottish, Cornish or Northern Irish flags should be flown anyway. Agree 100% Get rid of this rainbow flag nonsense, what a load of codswallop " | |||
