Egads! If this were the case in the US, the entire US retail auto industry would go into the crapper.

I do believe that our British friends have lost their minds.

When I came into government I realised that you could only fly the flag on 18 days in the year

I had no idea.

So it was against the law to fly the British Flag from your home.

Winston has been turning in his grave.

Keep on trying not to upset your enemy England, We the US will not be able to save you this time!

No it wasn’t really - I fly the flag - loads of people do, and also a house near to me has the flaf PAINTED on the entire side of the house.

Looks fantastic!

“So it was against the law to fly the British Flag from your home.”

Well, I agree with the PM's decision, but:

"And these people who try to present Britain in a different light, we have to take them on. "We have got to take them on culturally, we have got to take them on in newspapers, we have got to take them on in the media."

How does a multiculturalist take anybody on using other multiculturalists?

I had no concept this was happening, and I am honestly appalled if the UK has not been flying her national flag.

All I can say is good luck to the UK and your showing your patriotism for the UK in its entirety.

No??? Didn’t they give up 15 sailors and marines to the Iranians without a fight? Do you think there is a connection between the two?

The guy may be a labor poof, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Nations need patriotism to survive, and it’ll be good to see the Union Jack flying again.

It wasnt really a law - but do gooder councils prevented us from doing so - one example, a muslim dominated council wouldn’t fly the british flag, but get this, they literally flew the PALESTINIAN flag from a council building.

He is a big fan of America - part of his inspiration is the American patriotism he see’s which he wants replicated in the UK.

I’m all for it!

I think it actually had something to do with the football a few years ago. It’s absolutely massive. Always cheers me up when I drive by it.

"It is also about how you persuade people that our values about the dignity of human life, about liberty, about our belief in fairness for all, that these are values that define Britain.

They'll listen and smile and then blow you to bits.
