Imagine how the far right and/or football hooligans must feel seeing their preferred symbol of nationalism be linked to somebody as milquetoast as Starmer 🤣
Honestly, though, good for Starmer. None of us need to fly a flag - I think we know what country we’re in??? - but I abhor how the far right try to claim it for themselves, and how then anybody who does fly the flag is immediately linked to those bastards.

It’s not the far-right’s preferred symbol of nationalism. It’s our national flag. That’s how I look at it, and we should act as such. Labour displaying the Union Flag was ALWAYS the right choice. It’s better than his disgraceful predecessor refusing to sing the national anthem.
I know you can say “oooh, his policies though, read his policie-”
The average voter doesn’t read the entire manifesto. They just remembered that he was some bloke who wouldn’t even sing the national anthem and got cushy with the IRA.
