      Imagine,! Part of a country’s history being owned and displayed in another country! Who on earth would do such a thing?

      Tie it to a lamppost. Nobody seems to want to remove the when they’re flapping around on a random high street via a cable tie

      Is it up for sale or something? The article doesn’t seem to say.

      > An export bar has been placed on a Union Flag that led Nelson’s fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar to allow time for a UK buyer to be found.

      Just for those who may not click the link.

      Surely all our flag flying patriots should be raising funds to purchase this rather than spaffing all their cash cable tying Temu flags to lampposts?

      All very interesting. I’m not clear from the links if it’s up for a fixed price or auction. Presumably if the latter the selling might be a bit peeved on the presumption it would limit bids.

      Make sense given the items nature but curious how the potential sale got flagged (oh yeah!) with the committee. Will have to do more reading.

      All Union flags are battle scarred and blood soaked. Reason it’s called the butchers apron.
