[Alas Babylon!]

How many times do they have to say “The Government”?

The government is wise, all powerful and benevolent until you do something it thinks is unsafe, hateful or wrong. Then they are a monster.

Big government is like Big Brother, and he is always watching you.

I’m thinking a little “There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader” action going on here.

[iamgalt]

Wow that’s generous of them. They are going to “allow” British citizens to fly the flag of their country at their homes.

[Flavious_Maximus]

The Government = Unelected leftwing bureaucrats answerable to no one

[HereInTheHeartland]

“ What many people don’t know is that there are certain criteria which must be met to fly a flag from your house without consent, according to the government website.”

Wow.
So glad my ancestors left that crap show in 1701.

The left wants to bring similar control here.
They want government having that control over us .
Utterly anti American

As far as I can see, the only remaining nonviolent path back to sanity (and it may be too late) is to embrace and adopt Sharia Law... with one small twist. The population that is pre-eminent is not the Islamic population, but the national populace or their faith or pretty much ANYTHING but Islam... because the Islamist invaders will not be able to argue against their own ideology, and they most surely will never choose to live under their own system if they are not the favored group in the system... so they will self-deport expeditiously if it gets passed and enforced (even temporarily).

Otherwise, as far as I can see, either they have to say goodbye to their homeland and their identity, or lots and lots and lots of death and suffering will have to come before a victor is established (if they haven't already).

The British flag could “cause offense”. Maybe the government could check itself into jail like Otis from the Andy Griffith Show.

That movie is so ironic at that point. Of course, leftists had to portray Christianity as the culprit, where the complete opposite would, of course, be the case. Leftists and Muslims imposing tyranny.

[Sicon]

Wankers. I wonder if Orwell knew that he was writing the future of his own country when he wrote “1984”.

[bk1000]

Wow, y’all have to have permission to fly a flag???
Can I remind you of the great success against such overreach we had in 1776?

[Avalon Memories]

Although I'm an American, I fly the flag of the ancient country of England, home of my mother's ancestors.

[BenLurkin]

there are certain criteria which must be met to fly a flag from your house without consent, according to the government website.

It's a Police State, Jim.

The key difference between the USA and the UK is we’re armed; they’re not.

The Brits sit around moaning, whining , complaining, hoping someone(us) will ‘’save’ them.

Never occurs to them to take matters into their own hands.

[cowboyusa]

Still one of my favorite movies. And basically predicted Covid also.

[joshua c]
