That's because you have a majority who are proud of their country, Down south we have imported populations who hate the one they live in and a bunch of home grown left wing loonies who do too.

Why do people on NEXTDOOR think that every cat they see is lost.. a stray.. or has travelled in the back of a van for miles..!!

Rain all day yesterday.. Sunshine today.. I have been for a stroll .. Going to tidy the garden..

I find this ban the flag attitude very strange 🫪 There's lot's of Saltires flying from houses and flag poles in gardens up here. I also see them passing through villages and small towns on my journeys between Thurso/Perth. One of my neighbours in Perth has two, the Saltire and the yellow rampant lion. Nobody turns a hair about it.

There's a house (started as a council house, no idea if it's sold) near the Lidl store I visit with three Pakistan flags outside. I suppose that's acceptable?

Being a Scot, with an English OH, if we flew a flag it would be the Union flag 🇬🇧 would that also be prohibited in Brum?

Caught the same way. Google says it's a valid Scabble word in North America so I guess we have to put up with it.

This isn't really a word is it?

"You can not claim to be letting out dangerous criminals early due to prison overcrowding, to then threaten 2 years imprisonment for putting a flag on a lamppost.
We really and truly have lost the plot. "

Birmingham council has taken legal action against raising the English flag in the city .
It's unbelievable
No country in the world does this .
Looks like Birmingham Islamists limp dems and other assorted nutters are making the rules now .
Our second city is increasingly but an out post of Pakistan

I am pleased to hear that Burnham has done a U turn  on the early release of those convicted of manslaughter which includes the  two killers of PC Harper

Over a million people signed the petition.

Public outrage has in this instance prompted  the government do the right thing .
