Flags waived?

A list of flags which could be a criminal offence to display includes the Irish tricolour, the Catalan, Israeli and Palestinia­n flags and the Catalan and Basque flags, according to a ‘restricted’ police document.

The enmity between the English and Scots is laughable. Geneticist­s have proved that 40 per cent of English and Scots DNA is a mixture of mainly German, Danish, French, North African and Viking marauders from Norway. The vast majority of Brits’ DNA is derived from the Angles and Saxons from Germany and Jutes of Denmark, who invaded the east coast of Britain long before the Norman-french.

incorrect; thin end of the real fascist wedge; virtue signallers masqueradi­ng as creating safe spaces and all the other PC jargon and cant while taking away freedoms hitherto were taken for granted. Needs to be opposed.

The thing about flags is that, apart from when they are flown on official occasions in the country they designate, they are only used by idiots.

Police Scotland should have been at the Labour Party conference. Plenty Palestinia­n flags waved there, that’s the people that want Israel annihilate­d.

Ban everything. There. Sorted.

Academical 1874 It’s a strange compulsion that drives these clowns to wave the banners of cults, terrorist groups and religious sects. Perhaps in their simple minds this gives them relevance in the modern world.
