It's estimated that over 1 MILLION English flags have been raised in just over a week.

Patriotism is taking the nation by storm

About time too... Great news...

Good.  We need it, and as I am sure that TwoTier is not going to do anything to support our country, we must do it ourselves.  If we had a monarch who has owt about themself, and having seen what is happening to the country now, he should call an early general election.
Or perhaps not, as Reform is not completely ready for it yet, so I'm told, so God knows who would form the next government.

it's not within the monarch's powers to call for an election - sadly

Of course not, but perhaps he might say a few words in its support, instead of simply going on constant holidays to the nicest places in the world, naturally with complete personal protection of course.

He can, of course, advise and warn, but I doubt the idiot in number ten will listen

Strange how Starmer was oh so happy to say that it was up to the judge in the case of Lucy Connolly, but not quite so keen in the face where the pronouncement (by a Tory judge who used a legal argument in his decision) didn't follow Labour's policy of using hotels (and used a couple or so known Labour judges who used political bias views, which didn't seem entirely focused on contractual/legal arguments to override).

We live in dangerous times in terms of liberty.

Well as you will know by now the government won its appeal, but the judges they chose might as well have been a hotel owner, an asylum seeker and Klaus Schwab. However I can see the government's dilemma, if they couldn't carry on paying their mates to house the illegals  they would have to do something with 100,000 young men, and that would mean, well, doing something.

Politically biased judges?  Really?  Yes, really!
I used to joke about Russia, China and North Korea.  I imagine the world now jokes about Broken Britain.

I feel sad for our young people.  They have been let down by and misinformed by many of their trendy teachers.
I was reading an article in the Telegraph yesterday about education and comparing results nationally.  The south-east, of course, came out at the top and the north-east at the bottom.  More worryingly, the results of non-white young people - not only the Chinese, who have always had a great work ethic - exceeded those of white British people.  
I suspect that so many white British people now don't provide a good example to their children and don't encourage them, but perhaps that is to be expected when there is now nothing much to aim for.

I've moaned with the rest about illegals in hotels, BUT it's much worse having them in your street ! at least in hotels there is some kind of check.

[klondike]

There isn't. They are completely free to roam and do just what they want. That's what all the fuss in Epping is about - folk would prefer they didn't do it with their daughters. Unless I got the wrong end of the stick as I haven't bothered reading up on it just headlines.

[Alex]

I know they're free to roam, but not usually down people's streets.  Mostly they frequent town centres causing bother.

[Scrumpy]

They wouldn't have caused problems way back..
Teddy Boys.. Skin Heads.. Wouldn't put up with it ..

We have become a weak country.. 
We need a few Vigilante groups.. 
If our police are not in control of our streets... and they are not..

I am sure the US had vigilante groups riding their subways a few years back..

[muddy]

Vigilant groups never end well.

[Scrumpy]

Vigilante groups are fine...
They can be seen as a deterrent...
