As we discuss flags and their meaning and values, the 🇪🇺 is banned in the U.K. according to a 2021 Boris Johnson law still in place under Starmer.

But I won't back down — and neither should you.

Middlesbrough voted 60% to Leave the EU by the way.

The town’s criminal damage rate is 289% of the national average.
It starts at a young age. For example, in August, boys as young as ten years old were arrested for missile-throwing in Hemlington. There are eye witness accounts of 12-year-olds dealing drugs in Saltersgill.

That's a gap no amount of taxation can fill.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social wants to introduce a wealth tax of 1% on assets of over £10m & 2% on assets over £1bn & if the super rich want to leave the UK because they are being taxed a tiny amount more then we should wave them goodbye
