I bet you say that to all the girls (when Marge has nipped out to Handforth Dean for a tootle round Tesco and M&S)

When you pass the house you can see it alright, it's very near the top the drive. I'll photo it for you next time I'm down in Perth.
I was going to put the pole higher but the flag would have been able to wrap itself around the telephone wire that runs across my garden, then I'd have been in trouble with telecom.
The pole is just at the bottom of my garden but over the fence, if you look at the left of the photo you can see a load of the wires stretching over the gardens, it's the same all the way around.

Was that the house that used to have a turbine in the background?

Ah, the very opportunity: hang it on the telephone wires!

Yes, it's my place in Perth. Turbine has been moved there was a lot of complaints about it.

Would have been hilarious if someone had stuck some Scottish flags on its blades😬😬😬

In England at least there are planning restraints on how tall a flagpole on private property may be and on what flags may be flown. it didn't used to exclude either the Union Jack or the George flag but I bet the buggers will be slipping that in at some point.

There does seem to be a lot of posters on here actually drooling when Tommy Robinson is mentioned.

You have a personal dislike for the bloke Vlad .
He's not personable and  not well spoken and has history 
( people cannot always be defined by their history they can and do change especially as they get older )

but what he says is most times right on the ball.
Others say it in a more erudite manner ( ie Douglas Murray )
Or will more bluster ( Nigel Farage )

But what he says it's very often true .

Well put Muddy !  People do change, but unfortunately there are stubborn old farts who will NEVER change their attitude to Tommy Robinson and refuse to listen to what he has to say.
 
An open mind is necessary to 'get' Tommy Robinson.

The truth is... they do listen to Tommy Robinson... and it scares the shit out of them.. because he is usually right..
