Re: Just to clarify
I think you've basically nailed it. Any attempt to deviate from this will have you labelled as an anti-British heretic who prays for disaster and should get over it, jog on, bog off, or live somewhere else according to whatever mood Oiram is in.

The European Commission didn't. They're looking stupid, are feeling defensive, and are wary of member states taking separate stances in order to look after their own citizens first (which is understandable, and is what Germany may be edging towards). Unless new evidence comes to light to the contrary, the Commission has been caught out here and is throwing a proper strop. f*** 'em.
Remainers need to stop seeing everything through EU=good/UK=bad spectacles (and leavers the same vice versa). It's just not that straightforward, and f*cking tedious for everyone else having to listen/read your drivel.

Re: Just to clarify
I completely agree that we are ahead on the vaccine so far - and if we want to say that's a Brexit bonus then I have no problem with that - but the fact remains there's a long way to go yet. I remember a day at Wembley, we were 2-0 up at half time, and people were celebrating wildly....

Re: Just to clarify
Unfortunately that is true....it shouldnt be that way, but Nationalists & racists , over the last 10/15 years have taken over the flag, as to make it their own, and now its toxic for anti-racists.Ornchurch wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 11:35 amIt would make you a racist.

Every march by UKIP, English nationalists, Brexit Party types is noticeable that almost every one of them is carrying a flag.
Decent people cant connect with it now, because of those racist connotations ....shame

Re: Just to clarify
Nothing wrong in that. Near where I live a shop always has the Union Flag flying and a neighbour a few houses from me has a flag pole in his front garden with the Union Flag flying.The company I last worked for had the flag flying at each of its locations, including two in Scotland. The clue is in the name Union and the flag design.ComeOnYouOs wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 10:43 am I bet Oiram wears Union jack underpants, and has a Union Jack duvet cover
Absolutely nothing wrong with flying the flag in anyway shape or form. For those of you who travel will see the flying of their national flag happens in many countries, and quite right too. Nothing wrong with being proud of your country.
For those who find it offensive, Sod off elsewhere.I doubt you’ll be missed.

Nor does it when second jabs aren't going to be given in the relevant timeframe as prescribed by the experts.
