It’s almost like Reform thrives off creating wedge issues to deflect from their lack of policy ideas.
Total grifters in it to line their own pockets.

Yeah, but my grandpa is happy to “get hiz cuntree back”, so I suppose that’s Reform’s goal?

I don’t understand why the left do this game of ideological “chicken” by pretending it doesn’t phase them at all and it’s “performative”. Those flags didn’t just spring up out of nowhere.
I can almost gurantee that an incoming left of centre party coming in will have it back up within days.

Then why the focus on flying them in the first place? People can joke ‘flegs’ about Reform all they want, but the same criticism has to be applied to the other groups wanting specific flags flown (like the Scottish greens who wanted the Pakistan flag to fly from Glasgow’s city chambers)

Agreed, in the hierarchy of things that the government (local or national) should be focusing on, flags should be bottom of the pile. When we live in a functioning society, where services run effectively, state finances are in good shape, and people are enjoying prosperity, then we can devote a very small amount of attention to discuss optimal flag use.

This just highlights the incompetence for Reform.
This issue is entirely manufactured because they need to deflect from their general incompetence.
The fact that this has attracted the attention of the senior owners of reform speaks volumes.
It just goes to show that those who support these grifters should be held with contempt and written off.

Why’s she so upset about it then? Does it matter or not? She’s welcome to mention it to win votes back though, but would putting it back just be performative, like most things people say or do these days ‘its performative’ oh the magic words, you are so clever it must be right then.

There is something so pathetic that Reform says we’re needed to save the country, and yet their focus is just being nastier to people worse off than most people.
