The union jack should be flown from all UK government buildings every day and councils will be urged to do the same from their premises, ministers have announced, in another apparent escalation in the ongoing flag-based culture war.a year, covering national saints’ days across the UK nations and a selection of royal occasions, primarily the birthdays of senior family members.
Will we, like other countries, be compelled to have approved portraits of the Queen and Prime Minister in all government offices and passport control? Just asking how far this will go.
I’m guessing that those flags have all been imported from China.
You don’t make a nation great by Nazi-era nationalism Ans symbolism. Great deeds make a great country, not flags.
The BBC can chuckle and demean this move.
The UK is only a few years from parading nuclear missiles up and down The Mall.
Oh please...FFS
Herd national front
And who does that help? Completely out of ideas.
Why Not A Pair Of Mr Johnson's Cacks; God Knows They've Been Everywhere Else.
Like a dummy for the dumb dumbs 👎
What? Does that include Scotland and Wales?
Don’t make me tap the sign
Whenever a country starts mandating more national flags look out, that’s the first sign of an ailing government who is out of ideas. This is a cry for help
Another move towards turning the UK into a mini USA.
Vaccine pls
No Union Jack in Wales please 👋🏼
The Brexit brigade are on the move. Does the tory government not realise that to many the Union Jack is not a flag of unity? To many it is a flag of oppression and colonialism; a flag of a narrow racist form of nationalism; a flag of exclusion rather than inclusion & unity
Apart from leveraging racism, promoting what many think is an increasingly bad brand may be damaging
Shouldn't even be a conversation. Just do it and don't make a big thing about it. Anyone cheering or complaining has got too much time on their hands.
this id distraction bollocks. haven’t we enough divisive nationalism without splattering the flag everywhere. the UK has never done this. its small minded jingoism. if gov’t was serious about making us respect the UK they should simply stop lying & breaking the law
That should repress the nightmare that was Brexit. Sorted
Can you please check who is paying for all these flags and whether a Tory donor has the contract to supply them?
Oh good. That’ll bring back the 125000 dead. At least they are happy British dead and not European. Jingoistic bollllox
