COUNCIL’S WAR ON UNION FLAG

CRUMBRIA:22/08/2025: EXCLUSIVE

LOYALTY to abroad, neglect at home — that’s the charge facing Keirnocchio’s Labour Government.

Nothing illustrates it better than the whiplash speed with which tortoise-like Labour councils around the country suddenly swing into action when confronted by the menace of, er, bunting.

Here in Crumberland, the Labour-daft council joined the stampede.

A handful of Union Jack flags went up this week in Carlisle, close to the Council’s ivory towers at Kingmoor Park.

Within hours — not days, not weeks — a van appeared. Hi-vis workers followed, and the flags were GONE.

Remarkable and uncharacteristic Council efficiency.

Council Staff at the scene of “the crime”.

Were the flags reported by offended staff driving into work? One does wonder. Because this enthusiasm is rarely seen when roads crumble or bins vanish.

A man on the scene noted the council usually takes weeks to act.

At least taxpayers now know where the Labour-run Council’s priorities lie.

Not potholes, not refuse, just out-of-control, dangerous rogue textiles flapping in the breeze!

The “silent majority” has been anything but silent on Fakebook.

Oddly, this online noise seems to have passed unnoticed by local Churnalists whose day job involves trawling social media for stories.

If they touch this issue at all, expect the timid News & Shrug — an establishment comfort blanket to the Council’s ego — to arrive late, soft and supportive to the removal of the flags.

Expect 500 sympathetic words on the importance of “dangerous flag procedures”.
